I was still listening to MTV/mainstream radio until the late 90s, so there's still not a lot of albums from that year I've heard that are good.

If there's a best of the 00's poll I will be able to make much better lists.

Favorite Compilation of 1993: ABBA “Abba Gold. Greatest Hits”

My favorite Spanish song of 1993: Negu Gorriak's "Bi Doberman beltz"

Fermín Muguruza is the main figure of “rock radical vasco” (Basque radical rock) in his successive incarnations as the front-man of Kortatu and Negu Gorriak and as a solo artist. His incorruptible and combative attitude had gained him numerous problems as legal accusations and concert cancellations. And his strong political convictions (aligned with left-wing Basque nationalism favourable to Basque Country independence from Spain and related with terrorist organization ETA) had taken away the focus from the music and had alienated some possible listeners.
“Borreroak baditu milaka aurpegi” (“The Executioner Is the Man of the Thousand Faces”) was the third album of Negu Gorriak (“Harsh Winters”) and it’s considered by many its masterpiece. It’s a double album filled with “combat rock” songs, deeply rooted on punk, hardcore and hip-hop but displaying a wide range of styles including ska, soul, reggae and even latin. Echoes of The Clash, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Public Enemy, Rollins Band or Fugazi can be heard through the record. “Bi Doberman beltz” (“Two Black Doberman”) is the album opener and sets the scene immediately with its raging mixture of hardcore and hip-hop.
Some words from Xavier Cervantes in Rockdelux 166 about “Borreroak…”: “Very few records have the emotional depth of Negu Gorriak’s black album. Beyond the political connection, here they go deeply in painful feelings. When hope is lost, you realize that organizing the hate supposes a high price you must pay to continue resisting. (…) As in the second album of Kortatu, impotence is burning in his blood, but now the desperation takes him to the darkness, to a self-destructive violence generated by a sick, cynical and hypocrite society”.



BI DOBERMAN BELTZ
Composer: Fermín Muguruza (lyrics) / Negu Gorriak (music)
Performer: NEGU GORRIAK
First release: 1993 (“Borreroak baditu milaka aurpegi” album)
Length: 3’43”


Kutxako bulego zentralean
hogeitabederatzi urte dituen
Arana jaunaren soilunea
hosten du aire girotuak.
Hari musikalari kateaturik
Paul Mauriaten orkestrak
Nirvanaren kanta eskaini dio:
"Izpiritu gaztearen usaina dario".
Burutik pasatuko zaio,
ateratako azken distortsioa
sistemak irentsi egin duela,
berak ilea galdu baino bizkorrago.

Bi Doberman beltz, bilatzen eta suntsitzen
Bi Doberman beltz, bilatzen eta suntsitzen

Lana bukatu bezain pronto
amorrua nagusituko da,
kreditoz ordaintzen ari den
etxebizitzako egongelan.
Epeka-epeka erosi zuen
HiFi kate musikalean
Rollins Banden poderioa
"Isiltasunaren amaiera".
JBL bafleetatik
musikaren ordez, betortzak erakusten
atera dira bi doberman beltz
bilatzen eta suntsitzen.

Bi Doberman beltz, bilatzen eta suntsitzen
Bi Doberman beltz, bilatzen eta suntsitzen

Lilurapenean Henriettari
zu hiltzea eskatuko diozu,
baina berak bizkarra emanda
"Bilatu eta suntsitu" leituko duzu
Eta tatuaturiko eguzkia
balantza erraldoia bihurtuko da.
Alde batean: justizia,
Kontrapisuan: Egia.
Orduan Robert de Nirok
irrifar bat eskainiko dizu,
pelikuletan ez bezala, errealitatean
izuak ez baitu mugarik.

Zure masailean koxka sentitzean
konturatuko zara zergatik
dedikatu zion Anibal Lecterrek
Oskar saria bere amari.
Hurrengo egunean kristalez beste aldean
sueguru egoteko, atzerapen
mekanismo eta alarma
dispositiboz babesturik dago.
Dirua zenbatzen oroituko da,
Banku atrakatzaile bat izan nahi zuela.
Laster handiagotuko du
buruaz beste egiten dutenen zerrenda.

Bi Doberman beltz, bilatzen eta suntsitzen.
Bi Doberman beltz, bilatzen eta suntsitzen.
Bi Doberman betlz
Bi Doberman betlz.


TWO BLACK DOBERMAN
(it’s my English translation from the Spanish translation; the original is in Euskera, the language of Basque country)

In the central office of the savings bank,
The air conditioned refreshes
The bald of 29 years-old Mr. Arana.
Chained to the piped music,
The Paul Mauriat Orchestra
Plays a bourgeois cover of Nirvana’s
"Smells Like Teen Spirit".
So he can’t help thinking
That the system had been able
To absorb the latest distortion
Faster than his progressive hair loss.

Two black Doberman
Searching and destroying.
Two black Doberman
Searching and destroying.

And at the end of the working day,
Rage will take possession
Of the living room of his housing
That he’s paying with a credit.
From the Hi-Fi musical system,
Bought for in instalments,
The Rollins Band power
Bangs "The End of the Silence".
From the JBL baffles
Instead of music they come trough
Two black Doberman
Showing its tooth,
Searching and destroying.

Two black Doberman
Searching and destroying.
Two black Doberman
Searching and destroying.

Inside your hallucination
You will ask Henrietta to kill you,
But he will turn his back on you
And you could read: “Search, Destroy”.
The tattooed sun will become
A giant balance scales:
With Justice on a side
And Truth on the other
And then Robert de Niro
Will smile at you
Cause, opposite to the movies,
Real fear don’t know frontiers.

When you feel the bite in your cheek
You will realize
Why Hannibal Lecter
Devoted the Oscar to his mother.
The day after, behind the glass
For his own security,
He’s protected with a delay mechanism
And an alarm device.
Counting the money,
He will remember that one day
He wanted to be a bank robber.
Soon the suicide list will increase.

Two black Doberman
Searching and destroying.
Two black Doberman
Searching and destroying.
Two Black Doberman.
Two black Doberman.
