Your favorite album of the 90's!

[Lancemc]

What's your favorite album to come out of the last decade....



...that ISN'T a U2 album. So no picking Achtung Baby! And you're only allowed to pick ONE album. Just one. Your Favorite. And comment on shy if you wish, that's certainly not discouraged. But you know what is discouraged here? ...picking Achtung Baby! Serious. Don't even mention it in the post!


Ok, I pick Radiohead - The Bends. Just a pure pop/rock masterpiece. No more no less. Perfect.

Radiohead - OK Computer

I know for some Radiohead is aquired taste, but I 'get' this album. I 'get' the hype about it and I 'get' why it's hailed as a masterpiece. It's absolute euphoria on my ears.

 

[financeguy]

I loved The Bends as well, I am only just getting into OK Computer.

Other 1990's albums I really liked were

Violator by Depeche Mode
Dog Man Star by Suede
A Northern Soul by the Verve
Silkworm by Whipping Boy (a Dublin band)
Second Coming by the Stone Roses

But if I had to pick one it would have to be Automatic for the People by REM. (Any album that can get you through 800 miles of motorway driving through the UK has to be special).

Assuming no U2, probably Grace by Jeff Buckley, but these would be close seconds:

Vitalogy and No Code, Pearl Jam
Unplugged in New York, Nirvana
Boys for Pele, Tori Amos
Automatic for the People, R.E.M.
August and Everything After, Counting Crows

 

[MrBrau1]

Never Loved Elvis- The Wonder Stuff
Mighty Joe Moon- Grant Lee Buffalo
Suede- Suede
Spilt Milk- Jellyfish
Giant Steps- The Boo Radleys
A Northern Soul- The Verve

 

[Bonochick]

Strangers Almanac - Whiskeytown

 

[TheWho4Life]

Not htat hard I suppose if I don't have to choose between bands lol.
Oasis- Definitley Maybe
(I think)

 

[HelloAngel]

This is really tough.

OK, to not be a true Interferencer and choose multiple items for a one item answer, I will say The Downward Spiral by NIN.

Runners up:
Pretty Hate Machine by NIN (altho this was 1989, I believe)
Songs of Faith and Devotion by Depeche Mode
Little Earthquakes, Under the Pink by Tori Amos
Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson


Can you guess my subculture? Or erm, counterculture?

 

[Zoomerang96]

radiohead's ok computer, i guess.

considering that's my favourite album of all time, it's no real surprise.

 

[dandy]

it's a toss up:

'from the choirgirl hotel' -- tori amos
'rid of me' -- pj harvey
'exile in guyville' -- liz phair
'broken' -- nine inch nails
'ok computer' -- radiohead

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

ditto on the NIN, Liz Phair, PJ Harvey, Pearl Jam, and Radiohead albums. But mine's gotta be

Oasis- (What's the Story) Morning Glory?

close, but no cigar
Weezer- Blue album, Pinkerton
Nirvana- In Utero
Alanis Morissette- Jagged Little Pill
Bruce Springsteen- The Ghost of Tom Joad
Green Day- Dookie
Red Hot Chili Peppers- BloodSugarSexMagik, Californication

 

[ravenette]

It's a toss-up between Violator and Songs of Faith and Devotion - both by Depeche Mode.

 

[Aardvark747]

Pink Floyd - Division Bell

 

[ZeroDude]

Whats The Story Morning Glory probably..............

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

Blur - Parklife

[Elvis Presley]

The Bends

 

[Achtung Joshua!]

Sorry to say but even if U2 was a choice I'd have to say Pearl Jam's TEN for me

 

[indra]

The Church -- Priest=Aura (1992 release)

very possibly my all time favorite Church album too. Has a wonderful cinematic sweep to it.

I picked up my first copy of it (a cassette, which I still have, for a quarter at a Goodwill store. Best purchase EVER there! )

 

[Badyouken]

Even if U2 was a choice, I would say

OK Computer by Radiohead

It's my favourite album of all time. Every song is fantastic; the mood, the atmosphere, the textures; it's a perfect album.

And it's even better if you listen to it in the dark.

Southside Johnny - Better Days
Bruce Springsteen - The Ghost of Tom Joad
