               I second that vote for Live Throwing Copper, listening to it now.  Also Achtung Baby.

            The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill truly deserves a spot in this list.

            100% agree - although never was a radiohead fan - still massively influential
            
            I still listen to that Lauryn Hill album pretty regularly..
            
            Would add:
            
            Ill Communications
            Nirvana Unplugged (if I had to pick a N album, that would win)
            Doggystyle
            weezer - weezer (blue album)
            midnight marauders
            TEn - Pearl Jam
            
            more personally - ANY Sublime album
            Rage Against The Machine | RATM
            Green DAy - Dookie

               You took Dookie right from me.  First time I heard these guys they reminded me of The Police.  Dookie was a very monumental record.  Man, so was that Doggystyle.
               
               I have to admit, though, that while A Tribe Called Quest's, Midnight Marauders , didn't sell nearly as much as Doggystyle I liked it way better.

   I'll try to chime in with a few albums...NOT being biased to any particular genre.
   
   What about...
   
   Yourself or Someone Like You (1996) - Matchbox 20
   II (1994) - Boyz II Men
   Core (1992) - Stone Temple Pilots
   Stakes is High (1996) - De La Soul
   Crazy, Sexy, Cool (1994) - TLC
   Under the Table Dreaming (1994) - Dave Matthews Band
   
   I wanted to throw Nevermind and Ten in there but "Mighty Mom" and "rebekahELLE" beat me to it.

         Indeed, let me turn you on to Duran Duran's Wedding Album which features Come Undone, Ordinary World, Breath After Breath and Too Much Information.
         
         And if you haven't heard of Red Carpet Massacre it has a slew of great songs including the title track,  Box Full of Honey, Tempted, Nite Runner and Falling Down feat. Justin Timberlake as well as Skin Divers featuring  Timbaland are all badass tracks.  That CD came out a few years back, though, so not quite in this era...but thought I'd let you know.

            I'm gonna hunt that album down. I grew up hearing Duran Duran and liked their style a lot.  The 90's rolled around and I guess I was kinda taken by Grunge.
