Top 100 Music Albums of the 1990s by davidhuret 
This is a top 100 of studio albums (+ a collection of singles' b-sides, a live-at-the BBC collection of recordings and a couple of oddities) I enjoy; no other criteria.

Old Bob is born! Comparisons to his 1960s classics become irrelevant and pointless. These are songs his younger self couldn't have written. Clearly, Dylan's elder years were going to be captivating.

One of the albums that sounded the deathknell of britpop. And it sounded brilliant.

Working on the Beatles' Anthology, Paul McCartney was reminded of the impossibly high standards of his former band. Recorded sporadically over a period of four years, "Flaming Pie" was a timely reminder of why we loved him in the first place. A real gem of an album, in which even the "lesser" moments contribute to its overall charm.

Over-rated to a ridiculous extreme, this is one of the best albums of 1997. Nothing more. A good, one-mood-with-different-tempos album.

Solid chart.
Love the inclusion of Wrong-Eyed Jesus.
You are clearly a Bowie fan - I like how you particularly rate Buddha and Outside from this era.
You also like your REM, but I rate New Adventures much more highly than Up or Monster.
Nice to see Elvis' All This Useless Beauty included at the end - one of my personal favourites.
