Top 100 Music Albums of the 1990s
by mrmcrook

« View previous chartView next chart »
The 90's was a fascinating decade. Grunge dominated the mainstream and became an added genre for those of us who mainly loved Metal and music of the heavier nature.

My list used to have a lot of compilations. There's still some in there but I'm trying to ween them out.

Any footnotes are just personal ramblings for my own entertainment.
And to remind me of the joy the music brings before all memory is erased.

84.50 Totally unique when this first came out. One of a kind. Supreme rulers of genre blending by incorporating heavy funk bass lines, rap lyrical and some hard metal rhythms. The killer tracks (Bombtrack, Killing in the Name Of, Bullet in the Head,) are exactly that, absolute killer. Some not so much as it's a bit to similar sounding. Original fury.

I always enjoy a chart that's different from mine, versatile, and favors personal subjective choices over "pop" orientation. Good stuff.

I agree with a lot of what you say. The value of compilations, how good Dopes To Infinty is (even if it is not in my decade chart t hods a respectable position in my yearly chart), and I had the same experience with NMH including first hearing of them through BEA....and I need to get around to a Headless Chickens album - heard a lot of their songs over the years and Gaskrankenstation is an all time favourite

This is a unique and very interesting chart. While I haven't included many compilations or live albums on my own charts, your rationale for doing so makes sense. Lots of stuff here I've never heard before, so I'm looking forward to sampling some of your selections that are less familiar to me, starting with your #1 pick.
