Strangely I'd say 1984 and 1994 also both best for film! | |

Not a huge fan of many of the years in the 90's by any means this would be the stronger but no way close to 1984, 1985 in my mind and ears "We went where our music was appreciated, and that was everywhere but the USA, we knew we had fans, but there is only so much of the world you can play at once" Magne F | |

I was listening to all of this stuff in 94, but no one else was. The Most Important Thing In Life Is Sincerity....Once You Can Fake That, You Can Fake Anything. |

1994 is my year of birth and while it is an awesome year, I love it for that reason alone but musically better than 1984? I can't say that with a straight face although it gave us some classic rap albums from Biggie, OutKast, Nas, and others. | |

im trying to think what was i listening to in 84, im drawing blanks | |

their argument is lame - considering that I grew up in 84 (was first getting laid ) and i never heard any of the songs in their list ... (for 1994) ... Colonel Angus may be smelly. colonel angus may be a little rough . but deep down ... Colonel angus is very sweet. | |

Not forget 1984, not one year in the 90's moved me with music. | |

times infinity squared to the tenth power

I agree, but mostly from a hip hop point of view. |

how is it possible to beat 1988? It Takes A Nation Of millions, By All Means Necessary, Strictly Business, Straight Outta Compton, Follow the Leader, Long Live the Kane, Adventures of Slick Rick, debuts by Biz Markie, MC Lyte, Jungle Brothers... the second Salt'n Pepa album... not to forget an absolute personal fave: He's The DJ I'm The Rapper and once we add 1989 and 1990 (3 feet high, Pauls Boutique, Fear of a black Planet, Tribe Called Quest, Ice Cube, X-Clan, Brand Nubian.... ) we have the best 3-year sequence in history. without the shadow of a doubt, muscially speaking for me personally this was the most exciting times ever. EVER. Vanglorious... this is protected by the red, the black, and the green. With a key... sissy! | |

I just mean when you think of 1994, you must consider not only the pop music or the grunge. |

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |
