Best Album of the 90s

[Spacecadet]

Weezer

ok - it's probably not going to win Best Album of the 90's but for me it does one thing which few albums can.
I can listen to the thing start to finish and not feel the urge to skip past a few mediocre songs.
The entire album has a certain consistancy missing from other albums which sometimes just feel like a collection of songs, rather than a proper album.

Nirvana - nevermind.

But so many to choose from that blow all the modern tulip into the water - or maybe i'm getting old.

Definately a No. 2 or 3, but for me, No.1 in the 90's has to be "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" by The Smashing Pumpkins.

Sensational, IMHO.

You are asking us to pick one?

I would have to agree the Blood Sugar Sex Magik is one of the finest.

I would have to also agree that Nevermind is also one of the finest.

Pod, and Thrills Pills and Bellyaches are very good. I have them both and they at the top of my list of favourites of all time but I am not sure that I would rate them above the first two.

OK, I'll throw another into the mix - The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion by the Black Crowes.

Metallica - Metallica

Nevermind.

It's funny how Radiohead's OK Computer was routinely voted Best Album Ever in polls for several years after it was released, and now we've got to page 3 of just a 90s thread and it hasn't even been mentioned yet.

My choice would probably be Dream Of 100 Nations by Transglobal Underground, but there are quite a few to choose from, it has to be said.

Hard to pick just one from the decade.

Early 90's :

The Orb - The Orbs Adventures Boyond the Ultraworld.
Primal Scream - Screamadelica


Mid 90's :

Pulp - Different Class
Jeff Buckley - Grace


Later 90's :

Bob Dylan - Time Out of Mind.
Radiohead - OK Computer.

The Fragile - Nine Inch Nails
Aenima - Tool

[Moscow Mule]

Massive Attack, Blue Lines or Mezzanine (I can't decide which is better - Mezzanine has more top tracks, but Blue Lines has Unfinished Sympathy which would win song of the decade for any right minded person).

Other contenders:
Radiohead, Ok Computer
Pulp, Different Class
Orbital, In Sides
The Chemical Brothers, Surrender

Please Hammer, Don't Hurt Em - MC Hammer

Or should that be: Please Hammer, Don't Wear Em
