10 favorite albums of the 90s

[Jacob]

These are my favorites, hard to keep it at 10, in no order :

Blind Melon - Soup
NIN - Downward Spiral
AIC - Dirt
Faith No More - Angel Dust
Pearl Jam - No Code
Mr. Bungle - California
deftones - Adrenaline
Fishbone - Give A Monkey A Brain And He'll Swear He's The Center Of The Universe
Refused - The Shape Of Punk to Come
Radiohead - OK Computer

great list, dude.

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

Badmotorfinger is my second favorite Soundgarden album. at first place comes Louder Than Love. now THAT album takes a lot of listening to grow on you.

that said, everything Soundgarden has released is great - from their first ep's to their last album.

Thanks, like I said, hard to keep it to 10, could have easily thrown in some tool, pantera,Primus, Rage Against the Machine, Mad Season, Sublime, Jane's Addiction etc... But these are the one's I still listen to today.

I really should have added 'The Bends' by Radiohead into the list, for 10 years worth of albums it was a really hard decision.
