Top 30 Music Albums of the 1990s by kingdomhearts678

What an awesome decade for music the 90s was. In my opinion, right next to the 60s as the best decade music has ever seen. Anyways, here are all my favorites from the 90s, and I'm only human, so if I really great album is on here then either I forgot it, don't like it, or just simply haven't heard it. Enjoy!

Really, what hasn't been said about OK Computer? Hell, it's the number one album on this site! Radiohead is my favorite band, and this is easily my favorite album by them. Lyrically and musically it is their best album. Excluding "Flitter Happier" there is not a weak link on this album. One of the few albums that after hundreds of listens, still evokes the same emotion from me that it did upon my first listen [First added to this chart: 06/17/2012]

SUCH a step up from Pablo Honey, this is one of the two masterpieces Radiohead dropped in the 90s. While it lacks the emotion of OK Computer, it does make up for it with its heavy sound. "Just" and "My Iron Lung" are two of the hardest rocking songs Radiohead has ever made. This is my favorite album from 95 which is crazy because so many good albums came out that year.

Oh, Definitely Maybe. Now this is how you make a debut. I remember first listening to this album and just being completely blown away. This album has some of the most innovative brit pop songs of all time. There is literally not one bad song on here. It is one of the few albums you can put on and listen to from start to finish without having to skip one song. I know everyone says "What's The Story Morning Glory" is the superior album, but they're all wrong, this is where Oasis' star definitely shines brightest, no maybe about it.

If You're Feeling Sinister

Another great indie band from the 90s. Belle & Sebastian made some really great albums during the 90s, but none was better than "If You're Feeling Sinister." Lyrically, this is one of the great albums ever made. When I first heard it I actually went on google and looked up all the lyrics and just sat there and read them like poems. All the songs are so brilliantly written, and are backed with brilliant instrumentation. What more could you want from an album? [First added to this chart: 06/17/2012]

We've all heard the old joke " Who's better Oasis or Blur?... Pulp." But it really is understandably. Pulp was truly one of the really great (and sadly, one of the really underrated) Britpop bands out there. And if you don't believe me, listen to "Different Class." This band took Britpop to a whole new level when they dropped this one. [First added to this chart: 06/17/2012]

Another classic shoegazing album. Second best shoegazing album out there, obviously, behind the number one album on this list. Very underrated album and band. [First added to this chart: 06/17/2012]

Great early electronic album. One of the all time best house albums. "Slip Inside This House" is one of the all time great 90s songs, even though it was a cover. Some of the lyrics on this album are on another level as well. [First added to this chart: 06/18/2012]

Radioheads worst album by far. Not a terrible album, but definitely not a great one either. I really like "How Do You" though. Unquestionable the best song on the album. Creep is obviously also a classic. [First added to this chart: 06/18/2012]
