Top 100 Music Albums of the 1990s
by Fergenaprido

Studio albums, EPs, musicals, and soundtracks with at least some original compositions. If no songs are highlighted for an album, it's because I didn't rate any of them 80 or higher.

I made a lot of headway into my '90s collection, but now I need to start hearing more of what I don't have, such as Nevermind.

I think this album and the splash it made at the time is the reason I found out who Tracy was, and led me to some of her earlier work. Not that this doesn't shine on its own. The Promise; Give Me One Reason; New Beginning.

A young singer-songwriter at her finest. I don't care for all of the songs, but I do believe that this is the best representation of herself in album form, even if she was quite young at the time. Sadly, the version of Foolish Games here isn't my favourite. Pieces of You; You Were Meant for Me; Near You Always.

One of my guilty pleasures, I also have this on cassette. Blooming 18; Ravine; Lucky Love (Acoustic Version).

Why did they bother with the two instrumental shorts? Otherwise, the songs are either amazing or mediocre. I used to hate DLBiA, but for some reason it's now my favourite from the album. Don't Look Back in Anger; Wonderwall; Champagne Supernova.

Where did she go? For me, this is a great snapshot of the mid-nineties. Stay (I Missed You); Do You Sleep?; Taffy.

Very good list - leaning towards Celtic and Canadian music - which is great - the world needs to hear more of each...

Some soft and friendly music - OK.
But... not enough interesting picks for me.
