(runner up: REM - Automatic For the People) Yeah. And, yup. When the sunlight strikes raindrops in the air, they act as a prism and form a rainbow. The rainbow is a division of white light into many beautiful colors. Regardless of the day, I'm glad you were born. | |

I'm a total fucking cliche, I know, but it's Nirvana's "Nevermind" album. Thinking back on that record makes me think of how it must have been for my mom when "Sgt. Pepper" was first released, and how amazing it must have been to experience such a zeitgeist over a genuinely good piece of music. | |

It's only become a cliche to some people. That album hasn't lost any of its power with time. Good choice. | |

For some reason, I dunno so don't ask... Smashing Pumkins double album, "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness"
That album had always inspired me to be creative... I haven't listened to it in a while (3 yrs.). I am starving now. | |

I don't know if I could pick just one. The 90's were my musical coming of age and I value that decade more than I can say.
But here are some that I think are among the best the decade had to offer. Homogenic - Bjork Debut and Post were amazing, but she reached a new plateau with this one. Maxinquaye - Tricky There are others by him that I like just as well, but this will always be his landmark. Rid Of Me - PJ Harvey Everyone seems to prefer To Bring You My Love, but this one's where it's at. Maybe the fiercest alternative album of the decade. Achtung Baby! - U2 I love all of their 90's output, but this will always be their peak. Check Your Head - Beastie Boys Them at their funk/punkiest. Never a dull moment. This album is so fucking cool that anyone who listens to it automatically becomes cool. Exile In Guyville - Liz Phair 18 songs and all of them classics. It's sketchy and unfinished sounding and blunt and hilarious and tragic all at the same time. Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness - The Smashing Pumpkins Them at their most messy and bombastic. It's so over the top, but there are so many great songs, it's hard to deny. Boys For Pele - Tori Amos All 5 of her 90's albums are among my favorites. Something about this one hits me so hard though. Maybe it's the stories behind the songs. Maybe it's the mythological feel. Maybe it's the meandering trip it takes you on. Maybe it's that haunted piano. Erotica and Ray of Light - Madonna Impossible for me to choose. Madonna's 2 sides at their finest. Her most in your face, controversial and confrontational and her most refined, inspired and spiritual represented perfectly on these 2 albums. They're so far removed, they almost seem part of different decades. The Richard D. James Album - Aphex Twin So beautiful and fresh. Like Bjork said, "what classical music will be one day." And although Prince wasn't very important to the decade as a whole, he had many of my favorite albums during that time period. Diamonds & Pearls, , Come and The Truth are all among my favorites of his. It's too bad he couldn't translate that to the masses. | |

The album from the 90s I listen to the most would be Madonna's Ray of Light. When that came out I just couldn't believe that at her age when she looked almost finished she managed to produce the finest album of her career.
Other favourites include Loveless by My Bloody Valentine and Urban Hymns by The Verve. Nirvana are also well covered. A few years ago I would have chosen Grace by Jeff Buckley but now I think it's way overrated. | |

Mine would be Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill
It's the first album I ever bought myself (when I was 9) and I still love it! "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

Janet - The Velvet Rope (1997). I played this album to death.
Singlehandedly changed the way I looked at music. | |
