1990-MUTE
Produced By DEPECHE MODE & FLOOD
1. World In My Eyes
2. Sweetest Perfection
3. Personal Jesus
4. Halo
5. Waiting For The Night
6. Enjoy The Silence
7. Policy Of Truth
8. Blue Dress
9. Clean
During the 1980’s, I never quite got Depeche Mode. After all, it was cheesy synth dance music, and the younger me was all about guitars, dammit. Then, at the dawn of the 90’s, came Violator, and a whole new understanding of what Depeche Mode was really all about. There was nothing soft or cheesy about what was happening on this album, and it was immediately apparent that this band had grown a lot from the days of lite pop songs like “Just Can’t Get Enough” that had ruled the waves of KROQ. THIS Depeche Mode was serious, could really play, was growing fast, and more than anything else, had real and powerful songwriting at their disposal. A band that had featured very little to no guitars during the 80’s now had guitarist Martin Gore as their principal songwriter, adding a depth to their music that had been sorely missed in their early days. For me, Violator changed the way I saw Depeche Mode forever…both for future and for past releases. From afterthought to a seriously great band in one album for me. Sometimes things just work out for the best.
Not to say that Violator isn’t a dance record. And the fact is, it was the album that put them on the charts in the United States. It’s a pop record. It’s a pop gem. From the opening synth of “World In My Eyes”, you get right away that it’s also a pretty dark record. Before you know it, you’re rocking to the exceptional “Personal Jesus”, and basking in the glory of great songs like “Enjoy The Silence”, “Halo”, and “Policy Of Truth”. Together with Black Celebration and Music For The Masses, Violator marks the end of a great trilogy of albums that was the peak of Depeche Mode. And despite the critical mixed bag of reviews it got (some dismissed it as a straight pop album, which is absurd), this is the one album by this band you should definitely end up with. Violator is as close to perfection as they ever got, and it’s one that you should definitely own. Dismiss this as pop if you must…but I say it would be a much better world if all pop aspired to be like Violator. [First added to this chart: 06/03/2013]

Produced by Owen Morris & Noel Gallagher. Before heroin took over, Noel Gallagher was one hell of a songwriter. And Oasis was one hell of a band. It's not their fault that people got so very stupid over them. The truth is, they made two superb albums before they succumbed to thepressure of people putting ridiculous comparisons on them. Those same people then turned on them for not living up to the hype. Bullshit. Oasis was, for a short time, brilliant. And this album is the center of that brilliance.

Produced by John Leckie. No sophomore slump here. What made Radiohead great was the massive jump in quality from their first to second album, and then they continued it to their third. That they were able to transform from a grunge-like sound to this in one album speaks volumes about Radiohead's musical abilities, and about their vision as a band. Listing the great songs on The Bends is easy: just look at the track list. They're all great. And they were actually just getting started.

1994 – GO! BEAT
Produced BY PORTISHEAD
1. Mysterons
2. Sour Times
3. Strangers
4. It Could Be Sweet
5. Wandering Star
6. It’s A Fire
7. Numb
8. Roads
9. Pedestal
10. Biscuit
11. Glory Box
If you’re not familiar with trip hop, you should be. If you want to really love trip hop, you should start with Dummy by Portishead. The debut album from this British combo is one of the finest examples of the genre, and in 1994 this was pretty much new musical territory for us all. Mixing drizzling lounge music, electronica, spacey atmospheres and the sweet, overpoweringly sad voice of Beth Gibbons, Dummy has been described as Gothic hip hop…a label that actually works. There is a deep sadness in the tracks of Dummy, matching Gibbons’ voice with deep and layered, yet never overdone beats and atmospheres. This is, for lack of a better term, a blues album. Slow yet not sleepy beats and tracks filled with sadness and longing and the feeling of being in a basement level poorly lit smoke filled half empty lounge. Or something like that.
Dummy created a buzz in the States well before Portishead ever toured here, and for good reason. Three singles, “Sour Times”, “Numb”, and “Glory Box” gave a great indication of what Dummy was all about. And ultimately, it’s an almost masterpiece of an album. It truly is a beautiful work, filled with songs that are smart, deeply moving and even catchy. Portishead has been sporadic in the years since Dummy, releasing only two other studio albums since 1994. And while Portishead from 1997 and Third from 2008 are fine works, the balance of what makes this group work the best is here on Dummy. The only possible negative about this is that it may be too dark and sad of an album for a lot of people, but if you are in that kind of mood, you’ll never do better than to listen to this. Save it for a rainy day…you’ll be glad you did. [First added to this chart: 02/19/2024]

Produced by The Verve, Chris Potter and Youth. The legal proceedings that netted the crooks who used to manage The Rolling Stones all of the royalties from "Bittersweet Symphony" should not take away from the fact that The Verve actually made a really great album. Urban Hymns is anchored by "Symphony", but there's so much more to it. The story of the song will always make the band a footnote in rock history, but Urban Hymns is some infectious stuff. A terrific and under appreciated album.

Produced by Radiohead and Nigel Godrich. OK Computer is a great album, but to say it's the greatest of all time...that's just not in me. It really is amazing, and every listen is satisfying. It's loaded with great songs and great instrumental moments, and it really is Radiohead discovering what they are really capable of. But there are so many incredible albums worthy of that number one spot...I just don't see OK Computer as THAT excellent. But I still could not imagine my collection without it.

1992-REPRISE
Produced By RUSS TITELMAN
1. Signe
2. Before You Accuse Me
3. Hey Hey
4. Tears In Heaven
5. Lonely Stranger
6. Nobody Knows You When You’re Down & Out
7. Layla
8. Running On Faith
9. Walkin’ Blues
10. Alberta
11. San Francisco Bay Blues
12. Malted Milk
13. Old Love
14. Rollin’ And Tumblin’
Unplugged is Eric Clapton’s sixth solo live album. Recorded in front of a small audience at a film studio in Windsor, it’s an all acoustic performance, and is notable for its versions of “Tears In Heaven”, a song from the Rush soundtrack that Clapton wrote about the tragic death of his son Conor, and for the very different version of the Derek & The Dominos classic “Layla”. The album has been hailed (wrongly, in my opinion) by many as his greatest album, likely because of the emotional period it represents for him. There are some great moments here, but most of what you get is the worst incarnation of Clapton: acoustic and JJ Cale-ish laid back to the point of snooziness. The album has been highly praised and has sold over 10 million copies in the US alone. The playing is exceptional, with Clapton being joined on guitar by Andy Fairweather-Low and on keyboards by Chuck Leavell. But Unplugged breaks no new ground, and is, as are most of Clapton’s laid back albums, best described as safe.
The big hits are not the best tracks. “Tears In Heaven”, while highly emotional, lacks any kind of punch and was beaten to death for years by amateur guitar players in coffeehouses everywhere. The rework of “Layla” is puzzling…Clapton turns it into a kind of lazy shuffling mess. Most of the rest consists of a different setting for his number one love…the blues. “Alberta” is nice, while “Nobody Knows You When You’re Down And Out”, another Dominos song, is the real highlight of the show. The days of the flashy and explosive Clapton died with the death of Blind Faith, but his playing here is, as always, excellent. Overall, Unplugged is…again…safe, but it still sounds really great in spots, making it worth having. But if you’re going to go for this, get the DVD for the full effect, as well as six additional tracks you won’t hear on the album version. [First added to this chart: 11/06/2012]

Produced by Jimmy Page & Robert Plant. The two guys at the front of Led Zeppelin make a comeback, but not without controversy. Despite the snubbing of John-Paul Jones, this live collection of mostly Zeppelin songs works very well, giving new interpretations to classics like "Kashmir", "Thank You", and "The Battle Of Evermore". Being UnLEDded meant unplugged, so you get a lot of acoustic here, and the music (and Page and Plant) sounds refreshed. This is, after so many years, surprisingly good.

1994 – ATLANTIC
Produced By CLIVE LANGER, ALAN WINSTANLEY & BUSH
1. Everything Zen
2. Swim
3. Bomb
4. Little Things
5. Comedown
6. Body
7. Machinehead
8. Testosterone
9. Monkey
10. Glycerine
11. Alien
12. X-Girlfriend
When Bush released their debut album in 1994, they had strikes against them already. “Everything Zen” pegged them as Nirvana copyists, Gavin Rossdale’s British accent was a “joke”, and they were “pretty”. The band barely made a wave in their home country, but in the US, listeners jumped all over this bandwagon. And for pretty good reason: in the beginning at least, Bush was a band loaded with catchy songs. And yeah, maybe “Everything Zen” sounded a bit like a band from Seattle, and oh, all of those one word titles (see Pearl Jam), but an excursion into Sixteen Stone will reveal that this was not just a bunch of Brits who wished they were from the Pacific Northwest. Bush could rock, and Bush had enough up their sleeve to try different styles all over the album. There are things that don’t work particularly well, but there is also enough that does work to make this album very worthwhile.
“Little Things”, “Comedown” and “Machinehead” are all worthy hits, and show off the band’s skills nicely. The biggest one is “Glycerine”, which bounces back and forth between strings and heavy guitar and features Rossdale’s moody voice in the best way. Bush would go on to release their best song, “Swallowed”, on their next album, but they lost their way by trying to shake off the Seattle tag, trying too hard to change their sound. The result was that the songs dried up, and their last album, 2001’s Golden State, went almost completely unnoticed. They have, or course, reformed, but to no avail. Bush had a good thing going in their early days, best heard on this album and on “Swallowed”. You can pretty much skip the rest of their catalog, but this album was a big part of what music was during the 90’s. Forget the grunge tag that they wore like a curse…this was a good album.

Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some charts can have several thousand ratings)
This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 86.8/100, a mean average of 85.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 17.1.

This is an excellent list. Lots of "alt-country" here, which is much more Replacements-Meets-Bruce Springsteen than traditional folk or country.

I can't really give a good rating because I haven't listened to 96 of these albums, but I just want to say that I am convinced that Romanelli and AM are the same person

I really appreciate some of the more personal picks. This is a really good chart. 14 albums in common is pretty good. Perhaps one day I'll check out Uncle Tupelo.

Really love the detailed notes and careful selections!! I still feel it's a little too focused on American alt-rock for my liking however, would be nice to see some electronic releases/more hip hop besides Public Enemy at no.73!
