I'm a long-time reader but rare poster of these forums (mostly the just announced and hey seth boards) and i figure you all would be the best to ask for help with buying a good 90's collection.
i.e. what are the best pixies/bloody valentine/sonic youth albums to go with? or any other bands i just must listen to. educate me.
-
If you want the best of the Pixies and Sonic Youth you're in the wrong decade. Try the 80's instead.
-
I'm really trying to forget the MAJORITY of the nineties,music wise,but that's just me....
-
my favorite 90s albums:
radiohead - ok computer
my bloody valentine - loveless
prodigy - fat of the land
sigur ros - agaetis bryjun
portishead - dummy
massive attack - mezzanine
boards of canada - music has the right to children
-
This should get you started:

i don't know why i keep pimping pitchfork on here lately (maybe it's because they feed my lust for lists), but this is a good starting point (http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/feature/36737-staff-list-top-100-albums-of-the-1990s)

I actually like Pitchfork, but I think their nineties list was pretty lame. There might be only fifteen albums on there that I would define as essential. Pitchfork did a much better job with the seventies and eighties.

At least they had the sense to put NMH over Nevermind. The link I posted had MBV #1 and Pitchfork had it #2. They were both on the right track with that one. MBV took elements of what got the J&MC rolling and ran with it.

As someone who was actually alive in the 80's and saw sonic youth in said decade....I say pfft wrongo x 10 to you.
Goo is a good album, Dirty is ok, but Daydream Nation is by far their masterpiece and one of the best records of the era. Sister is not far behind. None of their 90's stuff comes close to either of these two. (imho). Sorry, but your smoking crack if you think their best work came in the 90's. Originally posted by you be betty:

I don't think those are their best albums, either, but they are pretty darn good and she's looking for good stuff that came out in the 90s. Though Goo might be my second or third favorite Sonic Youth album. You didn't have to be alive in the 80s to spot good music - I have the others, too.

Q: In what world are Ben Folds Five albums considered "obligatory" in a top albums of the 1990's list?
A: In "crazy, myopic scenester girl" world?

What a great list of albums you all bought in the 2000's you've all created. You might as well add the Beta Band's 3 EP's to your list before it gets simply diregarded as not "insightful" enough.
Those of you that were alive in the 90's really bought (and played the hell out of):
Pearl Jam - 10
Jane's Addiction - Ritual De Lo Habitual
Beastie Boys - Ill Communication
Cowboy Junkies - The Trinity Sessions
Counting Crows - August and Everything After...
Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
Fugees - The Score
REM - Automatic for the People
Oasis - What's the Story Morning Glory
The Verve - Urban Hymms
U2 - Auchtung Baby
And because I'm from So Cal I'll also readily admit to also playing the hell out of...
Social Distortion - Social Distortion
No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom
Dr. Dre - The Chronic
-
OK seriously here's what I really rocked most in the 90's, that actually came out in that decade. I'm keeping this this list down to stuff I was actually listening to in the 90's, keeping off stuff that may have come out then that went undiscovered until later. Making this list makes me realize 2 things - Much of what I now consider great from the 90's I did not turn on too until the 00's, and also that the 80's were a much better time for music.
Breeders - Pod
Smashing Pumkins - Gish
Pixies - Doolittle
Thee Hypnotics - Come Down Heavy
Shudder to Think - Pony Express Record
Mazzy Star - So Tonight that I Might See
Cop Shoot Cop - Ask Questions Later
Nirvana - Never Mind, In Utero
Afghan Whigs - Gentlemen
Sunny Day Real Estate - S/T
Flaming Lips - Soft Bulletin
Fugazi - Repeater
Spiritualized - Ladies and Gentleman
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Murder Ballads, Henry's Dream
-
My favorite 90's music
Jane's Addiction - Ritual de lo Habitual
Morrissey - Your Arsenal
Weezer - Blue Album
R.E.M. - Automatic for the People
R.E.M. - Monster
Breeders - Last Splash
Depeche Mode - Violator (this may have come out in 89, but I listened to it in the 90's)
The Cure - Distinigration
Blind Melon - Blind Melon
Radiohead - OK Computer
Pearl Jam - Ten
Nirvana - Nevermind
Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
Pavement (anything)
Fugazi (all of it)
Pixies

Time for this board to admit it, it's 75% old fogeys. Being born in 1990 makes one 18 years old. Prime time of life for being hardcore into a young and vibrant music scene and going to lots of concerts and being right there in the pit for the experience (as opposed to trying to find a happy medium between proximity to the bar and best spot for sound quality).

In betty's obviously.
After a quick read of all the posts, a few comments.
The Specials in the 90's??? We are talking about Terry Hall and co. aren't we?
I'd go along with Oasis, The Verve, Morrissey of course, Counting Crows and add James (Laid) and Belle& Sebastian (If you're feeling sinister)

Can we keep this thread a non-flaming one please? It's a good one so no need to attack those with differing music tastes of yourself (even though I happen to agree with you!!)

Mudhoney - Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge
An underrated gem from the Mudhoney catalog.

you're right, apologies, Kat!

Social Distortion - Social Distortion
No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom
Dr. Dre - The Chronic
i'll give you the Counting Crows, Jane's Addiction and U2 but no Fugees, Pumpkins, Beasties or PJ on my end.
I guarantee i listen to "It's A Shame About Ray" more times in high school than any of those 4 bands combined.
I dont really know what to say about Tragic Kingdom, but i did meet Gwen Stefani once while i was hooking school on Queen St. in Toronto at a record store...1994 i believe...

I am pretty sure The Chronic was played everywhere, and I admit to listening to every thing on your list more than once other than Janes Addiction (never liked them, still dont), Acuhtung Baby and replace Ill Communication (which was a total frat boy album at AU) with Check Your Head
-
I came back to this board to talk about music subscription services and devices to play them at home (another thread), but just had to weigh in here for a quick second.
Back in the day when I used to post here a lot (late 1990s!), we did a thread on the best albums of the 90s. I voted the Cocteau Twins' Heaven or Las Vegas as the best from that decade, and that assessment still applies.
Anyone here from the old days? Nathan? Maddy? Sorry, I'm forgetting so many of the other names of regular posters. We had a lot of good things to say back then, that's for sure!

How could I forget to mention "XO" and "Either/Or" by Elliott Smith?
