25 OF THE BEST 1990s ALBUMS TO TEST YOUR SYSYEM
The 1990s has come of age. Like all decades, and like so many bands, it went through that period of mild embarrassment immediately following its heyday – the kind you feel now for the haircut you wore in 2006 – but is now very much back in fashion.
Not that the music was ever really in question. In fact, when it came to cutting our choices down, this list presented our most difficult challenge yet. Snipping our recommendations to below three figures was a headache, and taking them to a quarter of that has inevitably led to a selection that many people might think reveals some glaring omissions. So be it.
Some would say this was the decade the album said its final goodbyes as a format, before downloads, streaming and the shuffle feature took over, so you’ll have to forgive us for ignoring a number of veritable classics.
The thing is, there is just so much to take in. The 90s saw hip-hop reach its teenage years, dance music explode, and guitarists experiment frenetically in order to fight back. This list attempts to cover anyway?
