Greatest '90s Albums

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

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.

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. - PewPewAssassin

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.

Not saying that Nevermind is a bad album - because it's definitely not, but Ok Computer is by far the best album in the 90s.

Perfect Album

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

Better than nevermind. Way overshadowed

Better than nevermind

has many good songs on it no bad ones examples include basket case - the song which made them famous longview welcome to paradise when I come around and she - idolangelx13

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!

Very important album

so goood!

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

Very understated Masterpiece

Perfect album, just perfect

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.

Best grunge album and best alternative album

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. - dlbk03

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

Better than Nevermind

This and OK Computer should be way higher. Masterpieces. - Donut

I love this album so much it is insane. So many great songs. The Show... Must Go ON!

Masterpiece.

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

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

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

Suck my Kiss, Give it away, Under the Bridge, Breaking The Girl, I could Have lied

Love this! Cover art is awesome too! - PerpendicularSealeo6

Should be higher than 15. - Disturbedpotato

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. - TheMusicNerd

Its because hip hop wasn't what people voted for first on this list, I guess rock is first to come to mind about the 90s

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

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.

WHY IS THIS NOT FIRST!?!

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

The greatest album of the 90s - end of.

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

On of the most influential metal albums of all time. Created bands like slipknot

Brutal - Disturbedpotato

Simply the best

This album must be in Top3. Every single is the legend - Irina2932

My favourite album! The best!

It is the best alboom in the world! Forever!

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

A Masterpiece

How is this album so low on the list? It's so sad that Dream Theater gets ignored and especially on a list of the 90's albums which in this era they made two masterpieces with this album and Images and Words.
Radiohead's OK Computer is an album that is equal to this one in terms of quality and both of them represent different approaches to progressive music, but I like Dream more because of Petrucci and Portnoy and their amazing skills. - IronMaidenFan666

Classic album.Deserves to be much higher.
