Top 44 Music Albums of the 1990s

NOT IN ORDER YET. THERE ARE SOME TO BE KICKED OFF AS I DON'T KNOW HOW I ADDED THEM.
I had a minimal collection during this period, I still relied on taping on a boom box, late night radio stations, it was cheaper than CDs, and like most young adults I spent most money on Rent, Beer and entrance fees to Clubs & Parties.
So I'm trying to collect the sounds I remeber as I reminisce over a pretty tumultuous decade for me.

I suppose like most fans of this album, they can feel that gutteral feeling just thinking of the words to the songs. I think this brought me back in love with American Rock music after the atrocious Glam Rock that was coming out before.

Another mega hit for these Nasty Boys! They brought their typical but unique style to hip hop & rap genre. I thought this was a brilliant album and listen to it particularly if I'm feeling a bit quirky.

Quintessentially British, quirky to it's core, a rebellion in it's own way. It brings it's own stylish aloofness & pretentiousness to being brilliant.

I was given this as a present, they knew I liked Floyd. I don't think I would have bought it myself, but then I would have missed out on this Gem! Obviously not their best but bloody good after all the years between.
