germ78: Neutral Milk Hotel at #2? Who the fark are they?

You really should check that album out. I heard people talk about it on a baseball forum I read, and was blown away when I listened to it.

I'd be interested to hear how NMH and baseball are connected.......... lol

Lists like this are good for little more than pissing people off, because they're never close to anyone's view of reality. That said, I'm finding it hard to believe the author was even alive during the 1990's with what was left out of this list. Grade: D. Come back with a better effort, kid.

One more thought: the list reminds me of what David Lee Roth once said about music critics: "they like Elvis Costello because they LOOK like Elvis Costello".

/this guy must look like Jeff Buckley. #4? Bwhahahaha

Dave Matthews Band - Before These Crowded Streets

Best Album of the 1990s for me. Well, tied with Neutral Milk Hotel. The Bends is right behind.

/I think The Bends has aged better than OK Computer as a whole. In 20 years In Rainbows will be considered the best Radiohead album ever.
//In The Aeroplane Over the Sea is incredible. If you don't get it then you don't get it. I don't get Alice In Chains but I don't make fun of it. I also don't get Bob Dylan.
///The grass was greener. The light was brighter.

The entire list is now a Spotify Playlist:

xpennyroyaltyx: Unrealistic Decoy: This list is far too American for my taste. Some good records though. Anyway, here are some Canadian records from the time to add to the mix:

With Fully Completely taking a close second by virtue of having the greatest hockey song ever.

List fails without Downward Spiral.

The fact that the list didn't even have Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by the Smashing Pumpkins automatically invalidated the whole thing for me. I mean, it wasn't even listed!

Huh, i have a newfound respect for ms. Hilton.

.....

Nah. But seriously, if you haven't listened to Neutral Milk Hotel yet, maybe you should.

Fail. Should have had something from NIN, Tool, Toadies, Smashing Pumpkins, Alice in Chains, Deftones, or any of the other amazing bands from that era. Instead they have farking Morrisey?

/pleasantly surprised that Massive Attack was on there.

Went on an extended road trip from BC to Texas and back with some friends once back in the 90's. By the time we returned the only three albums everyone in the car could agree on listening to in their entirety were The Tragically Hip's 'FC', Bare Naked Ladies 'Gordon' and Abba's 'Gold'.

/90's story, Bro.

I guess I'm the only person out there who actually liked Collective Soul.

heidinoele: I just tried to listen to Neutral Milk Hotel. It made me want to gouge out my ears.

You influenced me to do the same and boy do I agree with you.

R Kelly's Doo Doo Butter: Curiously absent
[farm4.static.flickr.com image 500x500]

I knew before clicking the link that the most overrated pile-of-shiat album ever made would be number one.
Should have gone
3.Siamese Dream
2.Blue Album
1.Ten

This and I find it hard to believe that no metal albums made that list.

Worst list of it's kind that I have ever read. EVER.

This is what happens when you let hipsters and art house students vote for anything. You get a compilation of trash.

Out of all that, Wrecking Ball was the only album I bought. The 90's were shiate.

Creoena: Missing

/The buck dich onstage performance is the best of the 90s
//Just ask the Worcester, MA police

^THIS^

Introduced me to a new genre.

I'm sure no one will ever see this but, no Soundgarden in the top 10 = I can't agree, I would have accepted either Badmotorfinger or Down on the Upside.

Unrealistic Decoy: This list is far too American for my taste. Some good records though. Anyway, here are some Canadian records from the time to add to the mix:

Rheostatics. Whale Music. A masterpiece. One of the greatest records of all time by anyone:


A musician friend of mine came into the room and told us "If you like music even a little bit, you should go buy this album". I never listen to it anymore, probably because I must have listened to it about a thousand times by now.

Happy to see #4 in a reasonable place. And where the hell is Violator?!

zunkus: I'm sure no one will ever see this but, no Soundgarden in the top 10 = I can't agree, I would have accepted either Badmotorfinger or Down on the Upside.

I've been listening to Chris Cornell sing since 1989. But it's not surprising they didn't make the list at all. Back then everyone was listening to Nirvana and Pearl Jam. The choice was made. Soundgarden didn't stand a chance, even if their music was worlds better than those two sh*t bands.

Radiohead?? if that's the best the 90's has to offer, the 90's are in trouble.

maybe the best music if you're between 12 and 18 years old.

tricks are for kids. further proof that advertisers like 'em between 10 and 29 years old.

THE best song of the 90's is by the shiatsters called 'time to wipe'


bar none.

hey, eat sh*t!! 50 Trillion flies can't be wrong!

Gunny Highway: endtimethirtyfour: waiting for "0 best of the '00s" list

You sound old.

and you sound like a 16 year old.

Another one of those lists that:

- No one heard of most of these f---ing bands or its music

- We gotta have a few token "grunge rock" albums so the Flannel Shirt Nazis do not burn our houses down

- And a few "ooh we like cool country" albums that no one in country music calls "country"

- And a few of the "90's music now called "Classic Rock" and putting classic rock stations out of business

Linux_Yes: THE best song of the 90's is by the shiatsters called 'time to wipe'


bar none.

Linux_Yes: or was it 'Bloated' by Slight Discomfort and the Afterwipes??

Crack, not just for hookers and hobos anymore.

Funbags: I just love OK Computer, puts me to sleep every time!


/Seriously, no Superunknown = FIAL


its kinda' handy if you want to slice your wrist too.

lilplatinum: Christ, music in the 90s sucked.


lol

if you take a loud dump, they will come. the 90's were great...........if you're a music label or executive.

Vox Populi (new window)

hey, crack is your generation's wonder drug. it wasn't around during my teens/young adulthood.

TheJoe03: fark Jay-Z. Illmatic is waaaaaaay better than anything that self-proclaimed sell out Jay-Z could ever do. Hell, Stillmatic is better than the Blueprint in my opinion. Also Blueprint came out in the early 00s. Reasonable Doubt (a ripoff of Only Built for Cuban Linx, which should be on list along with Liquid Swords) is the only album he had from the 90s that could have made the list but then again, where is Big L? He was way better than Jay Z as well, I assume you heard the Jay and Big L freestyle.

I corrected myself a few posts later, I meant to say reasonable doubt. Both reasonable doubt and blueprint are far better than Nas' overrated shiat. And Raekwon? Really? You are going to pick like the worst member of wu tang clan other than ODB?

The Score and Colour and The Shape are #s 84 and 82. i didnt even make it to the next page. this is worthless.

Linux_Yes: Gunny Highway: endtimethirtyfour: waiting for "0 best of the '00s" list

Missed the part where I apologized, huh?

No "Chocolate and Cheese"? List is bullshiat.

The color and the shape should be top 20 just for Everlong, let alone the rest of the album. And no black album? pfft

lilplatinum: I corrected myself a few posts later, I meant to say reasonable doubt. Both reasonable doubt and blueprint are far better than Nas' overrated shiat. And Raekwon? Really? You are going to pick like the worst member of wu tang clan other than ODB?

You just called Nas overrated while talking about JAY Z!!! Really? Are you serious? HAHAHAHA! Jay-Z might be the most overrated emcee that ever lived. Hilarious. Also, Only Built for Cuban Linx is a farkin classic album, how can you deny that, have you even heard it? Also, to claim that Jay-Z wasn't almost entirely influenced to do do Reasonable Doubt based on Cuban Linx and anything done by Kool G Rap is asinine. Jay Z is an average rapper that somehow got a bunch of the mainstream cats to think he is the best post-Biggie and Tupac rapper. He ain't.

/Been hating Jay-Z since Tupac

TheJoe03: You just called Nas overrated while talking about JAY Z!!! Really? Are you serious? HAHAHAHA! Jay-Z might be the most overrated emcee that ever lived.

Nas had 2 good albums, thats it. Illmatic/Stillmatic. Reasonable doubt and Blueprint are farking classics and both are superior to both of Nas' best albums. Jay-Z put out plenty of mediocre shiat too but his best blows both of Nas albums out of the water. The only thing Nas has on Jay-Z is that Ether was the best of the diss tracks.


Hilarious. Also, Only Built for Cuban Linx is a farkin classic album, how can you deny that, have you even heard it?

Says the person denying reasonable doubt is a classic album. If you are going Wu Side projects Ironman is superior...

Also, to claim that Jay-Z wasn't almost entirely influenced to do do Reasonable Doubt based on Cuban Linx and anything done by Kool G Rap is asinine.

Who gives a shiat what was 'influenced' - thats how music work. Because something was an influence doesn't make it better. Not that I made a claim one way or the other about influence as you seem to imply.

Also if you are going to talk about how Jay-Z is something only 'mainstream cats' think is good you might want to go a little more under the radar than raekwan.

lilplatinum: Says the person denying reasonable doubt is a classic album. If you are going Wu Side projects Ironman is superior...

Or Liquid Swords... or Tical...
