Did some editing between the order

[AfterHours]

There are definitely some albums on your list that I absolutely adore. Here's how I'd probably rank the 90's.

1. Twin Infinitives-Royal Trux
2. Yerself Is Steam-Mercury Rev
3. Lullaby Land-Vampire Rodents
4. Well Oiled-Hash Jar Tempo
5. Spiderland-Slint
6. Loveless-My Bloody Valentine
7. Geek The Girl-Lisa Germano
8. The Downward Spiral-Nine Inch Nails
9. Slow Deep & Hard-Type O Negative
10. Remnants of a Deeper Purity-Black Tape For A Blue Girl

[bc1991]

Nice list, I haven't listened to "Well Oiled" yet, but besides that, your list contains really unique and original albums.

[Mr. Shankly]

Those are both pretty good lists:

Here's a few more I feel were overlooked (The 90's was a good era) :

Bee Thousand-Guided by Voices
Alien Lanes-Guided by Voices
Trace- Son Volt
No Depression- Uncle Tupelo
Anodyne- Uncle Tupelo
Slanted and Enchanted-Pavement
69 Love Songs-The Magnetic Fields
If You're Feeling Sinister-Belle and Sebastian
Being There- Wilco
Perfect From Now On-Built to Spill
The Bends-Radiohead
Low End Theory-Tribe Called Quest
Parklife-Blur
Exile in Guyville-Liz Phair
American Recordings-Johnny Cash

Good call on Yo La Tengo and The Super Furries-both really good artistic bands that are often overlooked. I can Hear the Heart Beating as One is phenomenal.

As for Cake's Fahion Nugget, that's a fun, entertaining record, but I always thought Cake was basically just a more accessible, slightly more goofy Pavement for the masses, and all of the albums I mentioned above are better than Fashion Nugget.

[bc1991]

Maybe you are right about Cake Mr Shankly, it's just that I look at that album on a melancholic way maybe, I remember back on my days in college, we used to put that album a lot, so maybe that's why I love it.

[AfterHours]

To bc1991: Well Oiled is incredible. An overwhelming masterpiece. It is a prolonged series of huge odysseys of guitar noise, manic distorted frictions that grow and rumble across a vast soundscape of emotional peaks and valleys.

Note: it should only be listened to on a rather powerful system, otherwise its beauty and power is unlikely to really come out at the correct magnitude.

I also went back and listened to my 90's list again and the position of Type O Negative's Slow Deep & Hard was lowered. I updated it in the original post.
