The 50 Greatest Albums of the 90s
66Featuring Last Goodbye, So Real, and a cover of Cohen's Hallelujah
An Album is So Much More Than a Bunch of Hit Songs in a Row!
Oh how I loved the 1990s. Rock made a huge come back. Independent filmmakers had a revolution. Slick Willie & Hil. Forgetabout Hip-Hop? They call those the Glory Years.

I did my best to integrate all the cultures here but I will start working on several lists to break down each sub-genre. Your Humble Teacher, DJ Funktual

dude, another great list of yours. But I think Wu Tang deserves a spot and the Pumpkin's Cherub Rock MUST make an appearance. Other outstanding albums: Faith No More-Angel Dust, Depeche Mode-Violator/ or Songs of Faith and Devotion, Pantera-Vulgar Display of Power, Daft Punk Homework/ or Discovery and NIN-The Downward Spiral.
Great titles and follow-up
Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness Rocks the top other 40 albums crazy people, I know you're not all on the same page that indeed Imagination is more important than knowladge, Mellon Collie is the most imaginitive rock album of the 90's on. Siamese Dream is better than Green Day's Dookie and most others as well LOL LOL LOL

I think I own about 90% of these cd's, TLC included! Actually I had it on cassette tape HA... I LOVE Grace and Nevermind, they are my favorites!
Is it me or did music go way downhill after the 90's? :(
