The Top Ten
HIStory - Michael Jackson

It's very hard to choose the best album by MJ, but this one is probably number one on my list because Earth Song and You Are Not Alone are two of my favorite songs! Every MJ album is perfect, by the way.

This is certainly the best album of 1995! I remember how everything went crazy over his songs!

Best songs performed by the best singer and best dancer.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness - Smashing Pumpkins
Made in Heaven - Queen

You can't help but cry even at the title of this album. It came out right around the same time I was born.

A great album, which came out after the death of Freddie Mercury.

(What's the Story) Morning Glory? - Oasis

The defining album of the Britpop movement. It contains amazing songs such as Morning Glory and Champagne Supernova.

Something to Remember - Madonna

ONLY on this album will you find gems like This Used to Be My Playground, You'll See, I'll Remember, I Want You, and One More Chance.

NOTE: Bad Girl and I Can't Forget should have been included here, though.

Probably the most romantic and moving album I've ever heard! 5 stars from me!

The Bends - Radiohead

There are a lot of good albums here for sure, but only one is truly iconic and went on to shape music for the next two decades.

I don't belong here.

Fake Plastic Trees is truly a masterpiece, and this whole album is great.

I am so shocked this isn't in the top 5! Agree with me, people.

Post - Björk
The Bridge - Ace of Base
Garbage - Garbage
Jagged Little Pill - Alanis Morissette

I'm a HUGE fan of Alanis Morissette and have been ever since I heard her for the first time. I even have a tattoo of her. She's just so unique and down to earth. I love her so freaking much.

I love this album by her. My favorite song of hers is Ironic.

The Newcomers

? 17 Cleverly Disguised Songs About Smack - Love Button
? Mirror Ball - Neil Young
The Contenders
Sparkle and Fade - Everclear
Symbolic - Death

Best death metal album in history, in my opinion.

The best album of death metal.

Foo Fighters - Foo Fighters
Daydream - Mariah Carey
Fading Shades - Sandra

Son of a Time Machine is one of her best songs. I wish Sandra had released it as a single back in 1995. It would have been a hit. Her version of Nights In White Satin was great too.

Sandra was pregnant during that time, and unfortunately, she didn't have time to promote this album.

One Hot Minute - Red Hot Chili Peppers

One Hot Minute is very underrated, and it is my favorite along with The Bends and Foo Fighters' debut album.

So underrated! One of their best! It really shows how, even with Dave, they still had a beautiful sound.

Listen to Warped, Aeroplane, and the title track, and you'll realize how beautiful this album is.

Insomniac - Green Day

Not quite as good as Dookie, it's just darker. Brain Stew/Jaded is a classic, and Geek Stink Breath has one of the best riffs I have ever heard.

The Woman in Me - Shania Twain

You just can't ignore masterpieces like this. Thank you, Shania! This album is fantastic.

Liquid Swords - GZA/Genius
Pulse - Pink Floyd
Different Class - Pulp
Another Destination - John Norum
311 - 311
Me Against the World - 2Pac
Short Bus - Filter
