I voted for The Black album, between those is the one that i still listen all the time..

I think that's the essential 90's record, and until this day keeps selling thousands of copies world wide.

I would like to add R.E.M Out of Time and U.2's Achtung Baby both are brilliant!

There's nothing essential about the Black Album, it's just commercial metal.

there is no such a thing as commercial metal. the record sold so did sgt. peppers, never mind the bollocks and so on. that has nothing to do with music. many people like the Black Album so it in fact is essential for many people. you can't argue facts.

the best album of the early 90's is for me Definetly Maybe.

My point was that in order to be 'essential', an album need to have something special and unique about it, and highly commercial music rarely do.

yeah but whether anything is special and unique or not is a matter of opinion. it's not like musicologists found out that the Black Album is not special or something. you state your opinion like it was a scientific fact.

[EccoTides]

Damn, forgot about these:

Depeche Mode - Songs of Faith and Devotion (best... album... ever.)

Megadeth - Youthanasia

In that case, I think she used the wrong words. If you use the word 'essential', in a neutral way, about a piece of music, I think the album has to be special or unique, and the Black Album is neither.

[F*ck Fear]

Nevermind, the other albums can't hold a candle to it.

Vuglar Display Of Power, shits all over it, in my opinion. But again, this poll is all based on opinion.

It's my favorite Pantera album, but it still doesn't have the innovation, energy and perfect production of Nevermind.

only in your opinion.

AIC - JAR OF FLIES

[Lithium]

AIC - JAR OF FLIES

That's an EP, so I'd rather say Facelift or Dirt.

[Getizzyback]

Nevermind, no doubt..

Would easily beat UYI if those were in the poll.

You care to share what you're taken?

I went with Skidrow, by default, my favorite wasn't in the poll

Warrant - Ultraphobic

Don't knock it, if you haven't heard it.

[krissirge]

both Body Count's and RATM debut albums are great albums too

[LCG]

OMFG, Nirvana are actually winning a poll for once

[Communist China]

Tough between Dirt, Slave to the Grind and Superunknown. Went with Slave, although the best album from those years is Blind Melon's self-titled debut.

[ohmygod]

if i had to choose from the list, than easily megadeth

in reality

uyi2

how can Skid Row have so many votes?

[Estranged Reality]

how can Skid Row have so many votes?

Because you're on a forum for an '80s hard rock band.

It's sad, because I always liked GN'R due to the fact that it seemed to be the complete opposite of horrible bands like Skid Row, but apparently some people just like Appetite because it rocks hard - and that's it. Unfortunate, really.

huh?

and why would that be unfortunate?

[arnold layne]

I refuse to vote until my Pumpkins are on the list, until then...I'll patently wait.

isn't that what ACDC has done for their whole career...just rock

[ssiscool]

Black Album

[pain cake]

Queen - Innuendo

[Pico]

Out of those (blegh), Nevermind or The Black Album...

I'd rather spin Screamadelica, Violator, Achtung Baby, Blue Lines, Pulpintro, Modern Life is Rubbish, Suede or Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches.

So.....you like Appetite because you don't think it rocks...?

Slave 2 the Grind is not a cheesy hair-metal album. It's hard, and it's real metal, and anyone that hasn't heard it shouldn't talk about it because it is not 'I Remember You' or '18 and Life'.
