That House of Love album is great must dig mine out and play it.
Looking through the relatively few 90s albums I bought, these stand out…
Walter Trout; Transition and Prisoner of a Dream
Deacon Blue - Whatever you say say nothing
Jeff Buckley - Grace
Hootey and The Blowfish - Cracked Rear View.
Foo Fighters - The Colour and The Shape
Barenaked Ladies - Stunt
George Martin - In My Life
Richard Thompson - Mock Tudor
Out of that lot Stunt was the regular go to for longer than most, so that wins. Superb album.
I am not sure if these are truly the Best Albums of the 90’s but albums I had bought during that time frame and enjoyed and played quite a bit. I lived in Texas for a few years during the 90’s and attended quite a few concerts and that had a heavy influence on some of my choices for this time period.
Tom Petty - Wildflowers
Bob Dylan - Time Out of Mind
R.E.M - Out of Time
Sinead O’Connor - I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got
Lucinda Williams - Car Wheels on a Gravel Road
Mary Chapin Carpenter - Come On Come On
Garth Brooks - No Fences
Vince Gill - I Still Believe In You
Trisha Yearwood - Trisha Yearwood
k. d. lang - Ingénue
Life is Grand and Music is Sweet!
Music Has the Right to Children by Boards of Canada is a contender, imo.
Mellow Gold In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey…
Metallica Say your prayers, little one, don’t forget, my son/To include everyone/I tuck you in, warm within, keep you free from sin/'Til the Sandman he comes
Tuesday Night Music Club ’Cause all I wanna do is have some fun/I got a feeling I’m not the only one…
… and yes, Blue Lines and OK Computer are fine too.
I love barenaked ladies, listened to them heaps. if i had a $1,000,000 and the night I fell asleep at the wheel were favourite singalongs in the car! (stepson loved it)
Metallica The Black Album. Immense album. This is my opinion of course but as one of the best selling albums in the world (maybe the best selling album from the 90’s) a lot of people may tend to agree
Stone Roses.
Come you guys, your wasting your time it was definitely Radiohead OK Computer.
A great decade really, from 1991, U2 Achtung Baby and RT Rumour and Sigh started the decade well. 2 albums that still get frequent spins. 1999 ended well with the White Stripes first album, which I really should listen to more.
There were many good offerings in between also, mentioned in the thread.
