wow great list mate
loads of my favourite 90s albums in there
great to see the Manics and Stereophonics and great to see Travis. Good albums all.
I also like the singles Home (Depeche), Local Boy in the Photograph, Don't Look Back In Anger, Motorcycle Emptiness, Fake Plastic Trees; and Drive is nearly the best REM song of the 90s. Its awesome. I mean, Losing My Religion is probably my favourite song of the 90s but I've overheard it. I would put Drive on instead every time! Good album opener it is too.
Thanks Larcx13, haven't heard those three, will try!
Some interesting and solid choices.
I know you don't enjoy a lot of Hip Hop but A Tribe Called Quest have at least 2 great records in the 90s, The Low End Theory and Midnight Marauders.
Also, of course you heard Dookie, but I wonder if you've heard '...And Out Come the Wolves' by Rancid?
