Top 10 Greatest Albums of the '90s

One of the most influential bands of all time they deserve #1

Number 1 album in the 90s no doubt.

Nevermind deserves a spot on the list, but definitely not #1 position. OK Computer was light years ahead of anything else in the 90's. The music was so progressive that it still sounds recent after 20 years. There is a reason why Radiohead continues to play large venues and sell out shows to this day. They are amazing.

I liked listening to this but my computer malfunctioned at 3:47 at the part where they sing "I'm a creep", probably becasue the russians were trying to find my vote for hilla clint and change it to Don Truman which is almost as famous as Oliver Tree when he doesn't have a bowl cut on his head. I hate this era and I hate everything it stands for.

How did Nirvana, a simple grunge band, surpass OK Computer? The musicality of Radiohead is always unreal. The album starts with rock, but falls into slow melodies. And back. The isolated feeling you get is incredible. Deserves #1.

How is this not number one... This is the greatest album of the 90's, if not the greatest album of all time. The music takes leaps and bounds through of brilliance; the lyrics capture every element of the human condition.

This album is not number one because of Nevermind and Ten, you'd have to be blind not to see that or just stupid to ask that question like that.

Honestly every track beats nevermind. Both are incredible. Ten is a legend.

Hands down the best and most influential album of the decade.

Better than nevermind. Way overshadowed

All time favorite album ever made!

Influencial for all of punk, so fun to listen to. It doesn't feel as serious as many albums which adds to the replayability. Basket Case, Longview, When I Come Around, She, Having a Blast are just great jams!

Simply amazing. I don't think it's better than Nevermind or Jagged little pill for that matter, but I have to help get it closer to the top 10!
18 is an injustice!

My favorite album of all time! Loaded with great songs like Basket Case, Longview,
When I Come Around, Welcome to Paradise and She

Very important album

This album proved that you don't need a lot of money to make a great album

The pet sounds of my time

Very understated Masterpiece

Biggest band of the nighties and you know deep down I'm right

Great album! But I like Definitely Maybe more...

Perfect album, just perfect

Nice album, one of Megadeth's best

Why is this not any higher?!?

One of the greatest thrash metal albums of ALL TIME.

This album is much more than a grunge album...
Layne's voice attitude and lyrics penetrate right into the heart along with jerry's amazing guitar creativity and songwriting on the other tracks and the harmonies they do together...out of this world! And we can't forget about mike's awesome bass tone and basslines and of course sean's drumming which is so iconic to me

How is this album not already on this list?! Every song on Dirt is a masterpiece. This album created grunge along with nevermind. It is perfect.

This is my favorite album of all time, but it didn't create grunge, it did help popularize it though.

Dirt, the downward spiral, Aenima, Antichrist Superstar, Rage Against the Machine (self-titled), FrizzleFry... No?

I have never seen an album as glorious of a cry of pain and despair than Pinkerton. This album wasn't well received when it came out, but it has aged VERY well. It's a timeless record that can evoke catharsis out of the hardest hardass. It is truly magnificent in it's simplicity, and that's the beauty of it.

Weezer is kinda a joke now but during the 90s they were simply amazing and this is by far there best work. raw emotion

Absolutely in the right place

Greatest album of all time

This and OK Computer should be way higher. Masterpieces.

Better than Nevermind

Top of the pile for me, along with OK Computer.

Illmatic needs to be higher on this list. Should be number 1. Greatest rap album of all time. The whole track list is great with great songs like NY State of Mind, Life's a B, The World is Yours, Halftime. Memory Lane, One Love, One Time 4 Your Mind, Represent and It Ain't Hard to Tell.

I hope you're kidding, Illmatic this low? This should at least be in the top 2, if not the top 1. This is basically a representation of what music should be.

Should at least be top 10 just for being the greatest Hip Hop album in the 90s and arguably of all time.

Essential for Boom Bap Hip Hop in the 90's

This is my favourite album of all time. I'm guessing this list is based on the influence it had. BSSM should definitely be top 5, possibly top 3.

Classic 'Chili Peppers album, or the quintessential 'Chili Peppers album. I love it. I'm glad it's in the top 10.

This defined a whole new genre. Masterpiece!

Love this! Cover art is awesome too!

This is more than just an album, it's the magnum opus of a sad genius. In my opinion it's not only the best album of the nineties, but of all-time.

This should be higher up legendary work

Not the *absolute* best (that’d be Dirt), but it really should be higher.

This is literally the start of modern pop music

Why are all the best albums at the bottom of the list?

The greatest album of the 90s - end of.

WoW, just, WOOW. This should be at least #5

Jam, why you wanna trip on me, in the closet, she drives me wild, remember the time, can't let her get away, heal the world, black or white, who is it, give into me, will you be there, keep the faith, gone too soon and dangerous. My favourite MJ albums are
Bad
Dangerous
Thriller
Invincible
Off the wall

best albums of the 90s definitely

I think this album deserves to be at number 1 its not like the rolling stones did get to be in the top ten screw you bastards by the way. MICHAEL JACKSON and THE ROLLING STONES are both my personal number 1 favorite music artists then ELVIS PRESLEY and QUEEN as my personal number 2 and then EMINEM and LED ZEPPELIN as my personal number 3. You can call me a hypocrite and you can call me superficial for all I care.

My favourite album! The best!

It is the best alboom in the world! Forever!

Sure Pinkerton is better, but as far as impact, Blue deserves to be in the top 5

Needs to be in top 5.

This is much better than Pinkerton, better lyrics, more varied songwriting, better captures the nerd rock image that made weezer unique, an epic closer in Only In Dreams

This album must be in Top3. Every single is the legend
