Top 100 Music Albums of the 1990s by Jimmy Dread

The 90s - the decade of my first CD player (the first 3 being R.E.M.'s Out of Time, The KLF's The White Room and some rave compy called Hardcore Ecstasy), my first clubbing experience, my first years away from home (as a student) and with things influencing my taste coming from all over the place during my university days. Wade through the Britpop and other bollocks and there's plenty of gems from the decade, of which some on this list may hopefully be new to you. Usual decade chart rules apply (can't be arsed to write them all over again) - Jimmy, February 2021

Outstanding chart! I love OK Computer (doesn't everyone?), The La's, Nevermind, and Dirty, among many of your other selections. Wowee Zowee is a really interesting top ten choice--I've devoted almost all my listening of Pavement to other albums and EPs, but that could be an oversight on my part. I'll have to give it a fresh listen!

Great chart. Wowee Zowee as top Pavement is a nice surprise. I also love the inclusions of Casanova and Soul Kiss.
I reaaly need to make my own 90s chart...
