dookie >>>>>>>>>>>>>> nimrod

I forgot about CC. Also Green Day Dookie should probably be near the top.

But, don't you think that Nimrod is just a better rock album, musically and lyrically? Give it a listen...don't think with nostalgia, but as a musician. I've always thought that the songs from Nimrod were their best work. As for Toad the Wet Sprocket, "Crazy Life" will always be my favorite by them.

Man I forgot about Rage and Sublime. There really was just an embarrassment of riches. I didn't even broach the Beastie's 90s contributions-- I forgot about Ill Communication which is nothing short of genius and has to be in my 90s top 5. Of course Check Your Head and Hello Nasty were amazing, too.

I'm not sure it is a top 10er, but I listed To August and Everything After non-stop on a CD player with crappy speakers for one semester at The Glenwood.

Five Best Albums of the 1990's? Crap


This isn't in order

Rage Against the Machine, Rage Against the Machine
Nevermind, Nirvana
Unplugged, Alice in Chains
Siamese Dream, Smashing Pumpkins
40 ozs. to Freedom, Sublime

if we go to 10

Odelay, Beck
Nimrod, Green Day (better than Dookie, imho--however, "Longview" is most honest song every written about suburban angst, moreso than Ben Folds's "Rockin' the Suburbs")
Aquemini, Outkast
Pinkerton, Weezer
OK Computer, Radiohead

If we can add 1989 and 2000

Top 5 is now
Rage Against the Machine, Rage Against the Machine
Nevermind, Nirvana
Paul's Boutique, Beastie Boys
Stankonia, Outkast
40 ozs. to Freedom, Sublime

I'm going to throw Toad the Wet Sprocket's Fear, Gin Blossoms' New Miserable Experience, and Collective Soul's Collective Soul.

I'm not a hip-hop connoisseur so, there are likely several rap albums that I can't think of. I would imagine The Chronic would be in most people's top 10.

off the top of my head - in no particular order:
Ok Computer and/or The Bends. Personally I prefer TB
Nevermind - though In Uteuro could be substituted. I wasn't a big enough Cobain fan to put both in top 10
Ten
Definitely Maybe and (What's The Story) Morning Glory. So good when they came out and so re-listenable for decades to come
Dookie
Something by Beck. Honestly can't think of any of his album names
Siamese Dream

Odelay. That is the Dust Brothers' masterpiece/companion piece to Paul's Boutique. I love that album a lot. Midnite Vultures is a classic in its own right, but kind of in its own space as kind of a concept album-- not really for mass consumption.

90s rap is probably its own thread, but right off the top I'd put Midnight Marauders, Enter the Wu Tang, the Chronic, Illmatic, and maybe Naughty by Nature's first album as the best 5 of the 90s.

Smashing Pumpkins new album....

List the top 5 albums of the 90s. That's a lot of heavy lifting to get Oasis on that list.

The Gallagher’s might be in my own top 5. But hey was hyperbole. They should be in everyone top 10 though.

fuck you!!!

I still can't get over somebody saying Weezer was the only good band of the 90s... makes reason stare.

Cant believe timsfriendwuap didn’t include Radiohead on his list. Shameful.

Nor the band that had 2 or the top 10 (if not top 5) albums of the decade. If Noel and Liam ever quit fighting with one another, they’re going after Professor Mac’s ass.

When I am king, you shall be first against the wall, with your opinions which are of no consequence at all

What's this?

Oasis? Those songs won't live forever.
