Moonie...add those to my list too. especially EBTG!!

Spent about 20 minutes, and I already have 140 albums in a spreadsheet. This was just off the top of my head.

CHIC0 said:

CHIC0, I've added the Kylie and Madonna albums as a tie for the first tier, the bolded albums you posted as a tied second tier, and the other albums as a tied third tier. Is that OK?

Moonbeam said:

ahhh yes you are correct, Sept. 89. Sorry Dave & Annie! (Although they will feature prominently in the 80s list, so I think they'll be alright.) I edited the list - I picked the next in line on my spreadsheet and moved everything up.

Sure, you can consider the GNR albums tied. I've always viewed them as disc 1 and disc 2 of a double album, even though they were released individually.

Thanks for doing this! It was fun to put together. The singles will be much much harder, heh...

TRON said:

yeah, the 90s were an amazing musical decade. my spreadsheet was kinda out of control, i had to just stop putting on "maybes" and focus on albums i knew had a chance to make the top 200

TRON said:

i think it's mostly because at some point in the last decade, i stopped absorbing music and started devouring it. i still get obsessed, but the timeline for each obsession is more accelerated and shortened. instead of living with an artist or an album for 3 or 4 months, it's about 2 weeks now. if that.

errant said:

Ah yes, most albums I bought in the 80s I know backwards and forwards because there were less of them and I listened to them more often. But with increased income in the later half of the 90s came more album purchases and less time spent with each record.

Moonbeam said:

do what ya gotta do!

i'm also adding these....

SIMPLYRED

stars
life
blue
love and the russian winter



the 90's

Moonbeam said:

Shoulda done a better job checking...it should be at #41 only.

here is my prediction.....the top 3 albums will be ...
the gold experience - prince
ok computer - radiohead
and debut - bjork

Deee-Lite - World Clique
Bjork - Post
Massive Attack - Blue Lines
PJ Harvey - Rid of Me
Tori Amos - Boys for Pele
A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory
Lauryn Hill - The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
Fiona Apple - When the Pawn..
Smashing Pumpkins - Adore
Rufus Wainwright - Rufus Wainwright

in no particular order.

The Gold Experience

Alej said:

For the record, I am not listing this album

sextonseven said:

same here. This decade has been a music onslaught.

in the 80s, i would have way way way fewer options, and the albums would get played over and over again.

1 emergency on planet earth : jamiroquai, my favorite album by theirs. i first had a funk odyssy and dynamite , but this is so much better. with brass and percussion etc. funky and soulfull. by far my favorite album of that decade

2dangerous : michael jackson , his first album without quincy jones and a lengthy one at that. after this his albums get more uneven. but to me it has somewhat forgotten classics such will you be there and who is it. remember the time give in to me and in the closset


3nevermind : nirvana , just a great rock/ grunge album
4blood sugar sex magic , red hot chilli peppers.

5HIStory : michael jackson great great songs such as stranger in moscow earthsong little susie. but its not as coherent as previous records it feels uneven and out of balance. first album i ever got !
6 nirvana unplugged : just a great live set.
7 miles davis live in montreaux : miles plays his classic tunes from his early years live, its not as good as he played them 40 years ago but still great.
8 supernatural : santana i just loved the 2 singles maria maria and smooth

9californiacation : red hot chilli peppers

10 doo bop : miles davis , miles experiments with hip hop and finished 6 tunes before its death, its not as good as on the corner but i like the mellodies
11 return of the spacecowboy: awesome titel track
12 the chronic : dr dre , oh ok i admit this is my guilty pleasure , its not original , the rapping is wack but i like the synths and bass and nothing but a g thang revives an old classic and brings it to the 90s




these are the albums ive got from the 90s , a song lisst wil come later

Moonbeam, are soundtracks made of all new/ 90s material allowed?
