1. Faith No More - Angel Dust (THE album of the 90's - completely original, very influential and fucking awesome!)
2. Pearl Jam - Ten (for me, this is the ultimate grunge album.)
3. Jane's Addiction - Ritual De Lo Habitual (their best stuff was released before the 90's, but still this album is so underrated it's just sad. if only people knew how influential this album was.)
4. Alice In Chains - Dirt (another great grunge album from one of the best bands ever.)
5. Fishbone - The Reality of Your Surroundings (same goes here as for Jane's Addiction. highly influenital, totally underrated.)
6. Stone Temple Pilots - Core (they got a lot of shit for just riding the grunge wave, but the truth is that this is an awesome album with a unique sound.)
7. Bush - Sixteen Stone (one of the albums I grew up listening to on repeat.)
8. Cold - Cold (I'm probably gonna get shit for this, but this album is a masterpiece. too bad the band started sucking humongously after this release.)
9. Pitchshifter - www.pitchshifter.com (noisy drum'n'bass metal - had never been done like this before, will never be done like this again.)
10. Deftones - Adrenaline (where the whole nu-metal thing really took off, although this album completely destroys the other stuff from that genre released back then.)

Cool list aenemic.

As for me, I'd go with something like

Nirvana - Nevermind   (one of my first CDs, very influential to me as it was my first steps in "rock" world)
RATM - RATM (same as above)
Around The Fur (the 1st deftones album I listened to, which led me where I am today so...)
Pantera - Vulgar Display Of Powers (still one of the greatest albums ever made, so it has to be here)
Pearl Jam - Ten (my best friend's favourite : I always listened to it when seeing him, great great album)
Alice In Chains (can't choose any album, all are too awesome - I love this band so much)
Faith No More - King For a Day, Fool for a Lifetime (album I still love, discovery of FNM for me, so all good)
Soundgarden - Superunknown (old album from back in the days, contains one of my all time favourite song : Head Down)
Down - Nola (discovered it not that long ago, but it's so awesome that I have to put it here)

White Pony isn't from the 90's.  Otherwise I'd have it at the top of my list.

fuck, me too

Soundgarden - Superunknown (old album from back in the days, contains one of my all time favourite song : Head Down)

really? over badmotorfinger?

[tarkil]

I dont have the Badmotorfinger cd (shame on me I know), so I have to go with Superunknown. Plus I didn't know badmotorfinger at the time...
Even until now, I never listened to it that much.... Just listened to it like I could listen to any mp3...

That's why I love cds, cause you actually REALLY listen to them...

preaching to the choir. bmf actually had to grow on me, i didnt really like it at first. the more i listened the more i realized how awesome it was

[tarkil]

I guess I need to give it more listens then...
I've got so many albums to listen to these days... Fuck that, I need more time...

That, or not to be lazy, and put them on my Ipod !

[goldpony]

haha. me too, i have so many albums that need to go on. its funny, i used to be all about listening to full albums but since i got my ipod i listen to shuffle mostly. i like the random songs i forget about

[tarkil]

I still try to never do that.... I guess I never did it for the past 3 months I had my Ipod... How cool is that ?

[goldpony]

nice. still, sometimes ill hear a random song from an album i forgot about (i have a lot of them) that will inspire me to listen to that album tho

[tarkil]

nice too.... I understand about that... But I've got so many things to "discover" (whether it's old or new stuff) that I don't have time to do that....
Could be fun though... But there's to many shitty stuff on my IPod, I never did ordered anything nicely with only good music.... My fault though...

[goldpony]

this is where that alot of time at work comes into play haha

[tarkil]

damn... lucky bitch...

Anyway, time for me to say bye, I'm still smelly from rugby training, so it's shower + bed time for me...
Cheers my man, and talk to you later...
