tange Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 no problem with the top 4 -Nirvana, Pearl jam, U2, and Radiohead albums were all amazingMetallica deserves it as well. Chili Peppers should be there. Hard to not put the chronic on there. Rap music blew up after that album. Absolutely exploded. Beastie Boys could be there too.

Nintari Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 That list is why I hate the 90s. If it wasnt grunge or UYI it was shit.The 90's should be separated into two groups. 1990-1995 and 1996-1999. The first half of the decade featured some of the greatest rock bands of all time. It was the last golden era of rock. Pearl Jam,Nirvana,Soundgarden,Pumpkins,Metallica,RHCP,Alice In Chains,GNR etc. The second half of the decade was mostly nothing but boy bands,rap and nu-metal.

Fun n' Games Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Even most hardcore Guns N' Roses fans admit that it's bloated and all over the place, No.Definitely no.Definitely, DEFINITELY no.No, no, no! No!!The Illusions are in place 1 on my list. Not on my 90's, but on my all time list.This is a pretty good list though, I really like it. The issue is just that (almost?) all of these albums were extremely successful commercially, so it's kind of a commercialized list. I guess that's in the nature of reader's polls...Btw, like your signature, bro! Looks like a sublime message to Axl... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codith Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 The only thing in that list I would switch would be GNR and Metallica, other than that this list is fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnR Chris Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) The readers are stupid.I think Nirvana's In Utero is a better record than Nevermind, for one thing.Smashing Pumpkins don't belong there at all, particularly their double album. Now THAT'S the true definition of bloated.Where's 40 oz. to Freedom?The eponymous Third Eye Blind record as another good one.Edit: And as others have mentioned already: Chili Peppers.

Fun n' Games Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Pumpkins belong in there for sure. Mellon Collie might have a couple of unnecessary songs, but cut it down to one (long) album and you got some of the finest music ever made!

batman007 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I have always wondered if Kurt was still alive if Nevermind would still get the full credit it gets. I doubt it! Good album, but not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chili Peppers should be there. Hard to not put the chronic on there. Rap music blew up after that album. Absolutely exploded. Beastie Boys could be there too.It's almost the 20th anniversary of Sound Scan (March first). It changed the landscape of music, but people still work the system and continue to artificially inflate numbers. If you put a list up of 500 CDs that came out from 1990-1999 and had to choose 10 they feel are important, essential, or just fun listening, you're going to have a lot of opinions, because some of those CDs are "soundtrack of my youth", some of them are eclectic, and some of them are all killer no filler. The only thing that mattered to bands as far as RS goes, was getting on the cover. It's usually up there with hearing their song on the radio for the first time.

Bards Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) I have always wondered if Kurt was still alive if Nevermind would still get the full credit it gets. I doubt it! Good album, but not great.I believe it would. That one album completely changed the musical landscape at the time and defined the sound of the decade. I thought Illusions should've ranked higher but have no qualms with Nevermind at #1.As for other inclusions, I'll agree with the Chilis fans that say Blood Sugar may have deserved a mention but I wasn't all that high on Californication as an album. I too would have preferred just one Pumpkins inclusion. Soundgarden and AIC are both worthy mentions, and I would have absolutely loved to see Jane's "Ritual" on the list. The guy who said 3rd eye blind deserved a spot hurt my head. Edited February 23, 2011 by Bards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITW 2012 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 It's really a shame that Blood Suger Sex Magik and The Downward Spiral aren't on the list. I'd have knocked OK Computer and one of the Pumpkins albums off the list. It's funny though when you look at that list and think about the shit music we've had in the 2000's. It really shines a light on just how crappy music has gotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITW 2012 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Where's the hip-hop? Surely The Chronic belongs on any top ten of the nineties list. They have Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness overrated. Dirt should be on that list.Alice in Chains are a lot more famous in hindsight than they were in the 90's when they were around in classic form. Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden were all way more popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.. Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 This is an obvious and misguiding top 10. Nirvana, Radiohead... poor choices, it's the same top 10 over and over again and it's full of shit (in b4 "no, you're full of shit broham lolz wut").Anyway. The Illusions should rank #1 if we take them together: Coma, Estranged, Don't Cry, November Rain. Those 4 songs are un-fucking-touchables. There is absolutely NO ALBUM in this top that has songs that are this impressive. The guitar solos are the best, the vocals are the best, the structures are the best, the lyrics had a meaning, there is no way in hell any song from Nevermind could beat those 4 songs. Nirvana songs were all about simple riffs, simple structure, poor vocals, and retarded lyrics. You really are an ignorant if you think Nevermind is the best album of the 90's. I'm not saying it sucks, it's just that it has three good songs and that's it.It pains me to see that I'm on a GNR forum and everyone thinks the UYI were inferior to the albums in this top. It's obvious to me that if you have ears, you know the Illusions have an immense quality, when Nevermind is just a basic album that has some legend to it because Cobain died, but had he lived, no one would talk about this album tbh. Anyway don't get me started on Kurt Cobain again, just listen to his poor lyrics and his live rants, he was a moron, I don't get how one can find this guy "cool". He was just a poor junkie. Most people that still find Nirvana cool are young kids that smoke pots and think they're cool because they smoke pots, last week-end, I stopped my little brother's party because they were all smoking like firemen, it pissed me off, I told them how they were ruining themselves and what do you know, they were listening to Nirvana. I plugged in my ipod and put on Paradise City. None of these potential junkies knew who GNR were and never heard of Paradise City. Morons.Of course if one were to take UYI I and II separately, it's not the same story, to me part I is the best, but those two albums have a lot of garbage songs or average songs like You ain't the first, Shotgun Blues... Other than that, how in hell can't anyone mention Alice in Chain's Dirt (fucking great album), NIN's The Fragile (far superior to the downward spiral, which IMO is totally overhyped), and Muse's Showbiz? Those should definitely make it to the best 90's albums.Oh and I laughed my ass off when I read U2 was even mentioned.And finally, Oasis's best album is Definitely Maybe. And it should be on the list. Fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
