So let's start with something nice and simple. My top ten albums of 1990! Please share yours if you'd like!
Repo's Top TEN Albums of 1990
1. Fugazi - Repeater [Post-Hardcore]
2. Cocteau Twins [Dream Pop]
3. A Tribe Called Quest -People's Instinctive Travels ... [Hip Hop]
4. Megadeth - Rust In Peace [Thrash]
5. Depeche Mode - Violator [Synth Pop, College Rock]
6. The Posies - Dear 23 [Power Pop]
7. Ride - Nowhere [Shoegaze, Dream Pop]
8. The Breeders -Pod [Indie Rock, American Underground]
9. The Lemonheads - Lovey [Punk, American Underground, Indie Rock]
10. Sonic Youth - [Indie Rock, American Underground]
That is a cool top 10 indeed! Less heavy metal than I expected. Certainly some stuff I have never heard.
1990 is a year I have not delved into as much as I'd like (obviously) and it may be the one year of that decade that I think I have heard the least albums from. But somewhat recently I have found some cool new faves from that year.
Here is my somewhat hastily created top 10 of 1990:
1. Seasons In The Abyss by Slayer
2. Left Hand Path by Entombed
3. Spectrum of Death by Morbid Saint
4. Painkiller by Judas Priest
5. Naked City by John Zorn
6. Hammerheart by Bathory
7. Chill Out by The KLF
8. Repeater by Fugazi
9. Feel The Darkness by Poison Idea
10. Social Distortion by Social Distortion
Certainly a metal-heavy (see what I did there) top 10. But reflective of what I have been into in the last couple years. Only recently that Morbid Saint album has kicked my ass... some of the most extreme and brutal thrash ever. And as for Slayer at number 1, well, what can I say. Even though I rank Seasons In The Abyss as number 4 or even 5 fave Slayer, 1990 isn't full of a lot of heavy hitters or all time hall of fame albums for me and Slayer is so great even their very good (not perfect) stuff can top a year list.

Honorable Mentions/ones I feel a bit bad leaving off:
Goo
By Inheritance
Heaven or Las Vegas
Soundtrack from Twin Peaks
Lights…Camera…Revolution
Rust In Peace

Ha! Yeah it is! And that's what makes it so badass! You gotta check out one of my favorite Punk albums of that year if u haven't heard it yet...
@Repo - ha! Yeah Chill Out after nothing but metal and punk craziness would have been brilliant! Too late
As For that Jawbreaker record, thanks for the rec. I’ve only ever heard 24 Hour Revenge Therapy by them. That’s a solid album if I recall correctly. So, yeah Unfun shall go on my queue. _________________ -Ryan
