The top 100 albums from the 1990s - the final results, page 1
Hello again. It's time for the albums poll. I still have a little formatting to do, but it will start in 30 minutes or so. You might think that our personal albums lists are more homogenous than the song lists, but that's not true. And this is something that will be proved right at the beginning of the presentation! Stay tuned. |

Some more information before we begin. The votes are in from 39 voters. Fantastic! I forgot to say that the songs poll was based on votes from 34 forum visitors. Also great! |

Hi Henrik, and everyone! I just got done catching up on yesterday's thoroughly brilliant list - and I am delighted with the top 10. I missed it all as it was being revealed, but I'm here for today's list. Should be interesting - I didn't vote in this one (I did in yesterday's). |

Today, the results will be presented in portions of 10, rather than one at a time. As usual, let's have a good conversation around this! |

#100  Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill (1995) Score: 1317 points Biggest fans: Neoptolemos (#1), Tim (#20), Twister (#22) Comments: Catchy tunes. Not much substance behind the “catchy”, but catchy nonetheless. (Rendle) Place in the 1995 poll: 8 Acclaimed Music 1990s rank: 69 #99  The Prodigy - The Fat of the Land (1997) Score: 1334 points Biggest fans: SuperFurry (#1), Michel (#11), LonesomePanda (#21) Comments: Have some of the greatest singles of the decade ! (LonesomePanda) Place in the 1997 poll: 10 Acclaimed Music 1990s rank: 75 #98  Tool - Aenima (1996) Score: 1339 points Biggest fans: Torsten and Anthony (#19), Jonah (#29) Comments: None Place in the 1996 poll: 10 Acclaimed Music 1990s rank: 199 #97  Happy Mondays - Pills n Thrills and Bellyaches (1990) Score: 1354 points Biggest fans: Fred (#5), Twister (#21), Tim and Mitchell Stirling (#22) Comments: None Place in the 1990 poll: 6 Acclaimed Music 1990s rank: 54 #96  Rage Against the Machine - Rage Against the Machine (1992) Score: 1356 points Biggest fans: LonesomePanda (#8), Henrik (#12), John (#22) Comments: Zach DeLaRocha annoys me. “Wake Up” is good though. (Rendle) My other teenager love, "Killing in the name" kinda bore me now, but the rest is still great. And Tom Morello is magic ! (LonesomePanda) Place in the 1992 poll: 3 Acclaimed Music 1990s rank: 43 #95  Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik (1991) Score: 1362 points Biggest fans: LonesomePanda (#6), Torsten (#15), Nicolas (#19) Comments: I find BSSM very long-winded. It could be better in my opinion. (Rendle) The favourite album of my teenage and still one of my references, I could have lied, suck my kiss and breaking the girl are what RHCP did best. (LonesomePanda) Place in the 1991 poll: 10 Acclaimed Music 1990s rank: 36 #94  Jane's Addiction - Ritual de lo Habitual (1990) Score: 1370 points Biggest fans: Vgrd (#13), Midaso (#15), Jonah (#26) Comments: None Place in the 1990 poll: 5 Acclaimed Music 1990s rank: 71 #93  Beastie Boys - Check Your Head (1992) Score: 1376 points Biggest fans: Toni (#7), SuperFurry (#15), Torsten (#20) Comments: I love Paul's Boutique, Ill Communication and Hello Nasty… but I'm never be much a fan of Check Your Head, songs seems colorless. (LonesomePanda) Addictive beats, powerfull ond original vocals and an impressively capacity of inovation in each, all sprinkled with too much acid humor, make this album a manual of how to make decent rap. (Toni) Place in the 1992 poll: 6 Acclaimed Music 1990s rank: 64 #92  Blur - Modern Life Is Rubbish (1993) Score: 1384 points Biggest fans: Toni (#4), Johan (#13), Fred (#19) Comments: This album’s all over the place, but that’s the charm. (Rendle) Here we have The Stone Roses's legacy taken forwards.This is Blur showing which would be the essencial elements of the next rock movement to dominate England, and, sometimes, the world. It contains high guitars, but is a very sensititive and refinated album. Unfornately, in the time of its release, English had only eyes to Suede and couldn't see that the future was here. As the result, this is, until today, one of the most underrated albums of the 90s. (Toni) Place in the 1993 poll: 10 Acclaimed Music 1990s rank: 255 #91  Blur - Blur (1997) Score: 1385 points Biggest fans: Toni (#8), Twister (#17), Midaso (#27) Comments: Yes, another Blur album in my top 10. This is a dificult album. All the dirty guitars and the experimental tracks make you need many auditions until you realize how good this is. And, then, you will see that this is not a group of songs put together to support Song 2's high sellings. Again Blur make an album with no bad track, this time playing with electronic sounds, hip-hop, a little psychedelia and much of their genuine rocks, sometimes with an american tendency, sometimes plenty of their usual sensibility. (Toni) Place in the 1997 poll: 8 Acclaimed Music 1990s rank: 106 |

That is incredible that #s 100 and 99 on the list were picked as #1 by one of the voters. I'm most disappointed by the loss of 'Modern Life Is Rubbish' there, but no great surprises I don't think. |

Re: The top 100 albums from the 1990s - the final results, page 1
I should mention here that the mid-scoring method for unheard albums probably works better for the top than for the bottom of the list. By far, the least heard album is "Aenima". 19 of the 39 voters have heard it. It pretty much beats "Fat of the Land" and "Jagged Little Pill" because of its many mid-scores. If everyone had heard all albums then "Aenima" might have been #100, but it could of course also have climbed the list if one or two more voters would have really liked the album. |

Morning everyone! It seems that with the albums list ROCK is the most damaged (with Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jane’s Addiction, Rage Against the Machine and Tool at the bottom of the list), while HIP HOP (with the exception of Beastie Boys) gets some temporary relief. |

#90  Ride - Nowhere (1990) Score: 1387 points Biggest fans: Tim (#12), Collin (#17), EdAmes (#24) Comments: It’s a good album but Vapour Trail lets it reach beyond that. (Rendle) Place in the 1990 poll: 10 Acclaimed Music 1990s rank: 190 #89  Suede - Coming Up (1996) Score: 1388 points Biggest fans: Twister (#13), Tim (#14), Honorio (#23) Comments: Brett Anderson overcame the challenge of the difficult third album and the desertion of Bernard Butler. But sadly it was his last great album. (Honorio) Place in the 1996 poll: 8 Acclaimed Music 1990s rank: 265 #88  Travis - The Man Who (1999) Score: 1389 points Biggest fans: Tim (#8), Howlin' Andrew (#17), Paul manusama (#18) Comments: None Place in the 1999 poll: 7 Acclaimed Music 1990s rank: 116 #87  Bonnie "Prince" Billy - I See a Darkness (1999) Score: 1410 points Biggest fans: EdAmes (#18), Henrik (#22), Paul Manusama (#23) Comments: None Place in the 1999 poll: 9 Acclaimed Music 1990s rank: 59 #86  Soundgarden - Superunknown (1994) Score: 1420 points Biggest fans: pop elton (#9), Chris (#13), Rocky Raccoon (#22) Comments: I try my best to ignore this album but it really is good. “My Wave”, “Limo Wreck”, and “The Day I Tried To Live” all show hard-grunge at its best. (Rendle) Place in the 1994 poll: 9 Acclaimed Music 1990s rank: 128 #85  Wilco - Being There (1996) Score: 1429 points Biggest fans: DrDre (#7), Howlin' Andrew and Paul Manusama (#19) Comments: Wilco decide to start getting experimental with their folk roots, leading to the genre that they one day would capitolize on. (Rendle) Still their best album. Rootsy Americana, somewhat rough diamond. (DrDre) Place in the 1996 poll: 9 Acclaimed Music 1990s rank: 126 #84  Blur - 13 (1999) Score: 1434 points Biggest fans: Twister (#4), Chris (#5), LonesomePanda and Slush (#18) Comments: Place in the 1999 poll: 8 Acclaimed Music 1990s rank: 155 #83  Lauryn Hill - The Miseducation of… (1998) Score: 1443 points Biggest fans: Howlin' Andrew (#3), Honorio (#5), rendler (#11) Comments: Yes, I know, “CrazySexyCool”, “Brown Sugar” and “Baduizm” were before, but it was Lauryn who brought the R&B to both the creativity pinnacle and the Grammys. But, contrary to posterior R&B divas, she didn’t need any producer or a rapper behind, she was able to rap, sing, write and produce her material. And brilliantly. (Honorio) Place in the 1998 poll: 7 Acclaimed Music 1990s rank: 18 #82  Eminem - The Slim Shady LP (1999) Score: 1452 points Biggest fans: Nicolas (#4), Twister (#10), Howlin' Andrew (#18) Comments: None Place in the 1999 poll: 6 Acclaimed Music 1990s rank: 79 #81  Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - The Good Son (1990) Score: 1453 points Biggest fans: Fred (#12), Greg (#16), Michel (#28) Comments: None Place in the 1990 poll: 9 Acclaimed Music 1990s rank: 152 |

At the beginning I will also follow the football Euro 2008 draw. I'm a bit dissapointed alredy. Tool, RATM, Soundgarden, Check your head alredy out. It won't be a ROCK list. Probably I have a negative correlation w/ the final list. |

For most of the way yesterday, I managed to listen to a lot of the tracks as we went long (skipping ones I don't own + a few others). That'll be hard to do with entire albums, but just for starters I dug out my vinyl copy of Pills 'n' thrills. This looks like one enjoyable sunday.

(Rendle) Can't put it over Nevermind of course… but good grief might be one of the best "grunge" song ever (LonesomePanda) Place in the 1995 poll: 9 Acclaimed Music 1990s rank: 169 #79  Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes (1992) Score: 1459 points Biggest fans: Tim (#2), John (#14), Twister (#19) Comments: None Place in the 1992 poll: 9 Acclaimed Music 1990s rank: 88 #78  Manic Street Preachers - Everything Must Go (1996) Score: 1466 points Biggest fans: Johan (#1), SuperFurry (#7), Fred (#9) Comments: None Place in the 1996 poll: 6 Acclaimed Music 1990s rank: 84 #77  Beck - Midnite Vultures (1999) Score: 1486 points Biggest fans: tremolo, Schwah and Toni (#14) Comments: One of those albums that fades in my estimation until I re-listen to it. I think because it pales in comparison to Odelay, Mutations, and Sea Change. However the tracks are really quite good. The problem is the joke wears thin over an entire album (but at the end, with "Debra," becomes funny again). (Schwah) Place in the 1999 poll: 10 Acclaimed Music 1990s rank: 109 #76  Spiritualized - Lazer Guided Melodies (1992) Score: 1486 points Biggest fans: SuperFurry (#4), EdAmes and otisredding (#10) Comments: None Place in the 1992 poll: 10 Acclaimed Music 1990s rank: 192 #75  Suede - Suede (1993) Score: 1493 points Biggest fans: Rocky Raccoon (#12), Fred (#17), Johan (#18) Comments: None Place in the 1993 poll: 9 Acclaimed Music 1990s rank: 83 #74  Neil Young - Ragged Glory (1990) Score: 1508 points Biggest fans: Miguel (#13), Greg, Nicolas and Rocky Raccoon (#18) Comments: A renewed Young made the first great grunge album (before “Nevermind” and “Ten”) doing his usual album with Crazy Horse. But louder and dirtier. (Honorio) Place in the 1990 poll: 7 Acclaimed Music 1990s rank: 85 #73  Sonic Youth - Dirty (1992) Score: 1511 points Biggest fans: Jonah (#6), Torsten (#10), Johan (#14) Comments: For some reason I never warmed to Goo the same way I have to Dirty. I think it was because I was force fed Goo by a college roommate -- an important event in my musical education that woke me up from my blinding fixation on classic rock through high school. But I still resisted it as too much noise. Then when Dirty came out, I got it. I began to get the fun in it -- to hear the melody's relationship with the dissonance, rather than viewing them as antagonizing elements. Pavement soon followed. While Nirvana and Pearl Jam were blowing up for other kids my age, these were the landmarks for me.

(Honorio) I love Pixies, and this one shows again the capacity of making hermectic songs hidding layers and layers of inspired melodies and harmonies that they had developed in the 80s.

The rest of the album is really good though. I like the original version of “Hurt” better than Johnny Cash’s cover. (Rendle) Place in the 1994 poll: 7 Acclaimed Music 1990s rank: 39 |

Well, I saw some of my favorites already (Tom Waits, Eminem) but I knew they would be at the end of the list This forum and especially this poll are very indie/college rock/britpop-oriented, and I know Tom Waits isn't exactly a consensus. I'd be surprised if OK Computer wouldn't win. Even I put it at nb 2 |

Hi, back again. Already had two shocking moments today: 1) The best Americana album of the 90's, the best Wilco album (for me), Being There, already out at #85! 2) Holland draws Italy, France and Romania at Euro 2008! |

OK, deal, nicolas! Our football enemies of this decade are Portugal: We missed WC2002 partly because of them, and lost against them at both Euro2004 and WC2006. The last one with 16 yellow cards and the match ending 9 against 9 ... Well, it's gonna be interesting for sure. Now, back to the music. What would be today's slogan? Something like: "OK, dummy, nevermind!" or is that a bit too offensive? |

Well, if all PJ and B&S fans would have voted for the same album I hope they also would have a Top 10 chance. There is a minor problem when there is no consens fav-album among fans. I did not packed all the albums of my beloved musicians in the Top 10, but distributed them a bit. |
