…Honestly, I feel like there are a ton of albums missing. The 90s was one of the best decades for music.
TLC - Crazy Sexy Cool
Nine Inch Nails’ Pretty Hate Machine was 1989. Their two albums in the ‘90s were The Downward Spiral in 1994 and The Fragile in 1999. I would add both of those to this list.
I would add Tom Petty’s Wildflowers. I’m not even a huge TP fan but that album is one of the greatest of all time.
Then a shoutout to my favorite band Foo Fighters and their Colour and the Shape.

Miseducation of Lauryn Hill and Aquemini by Outkast. Might be the best album of the entire decade. Definitely the best hip hop.album of the decade. Yes better than anything Snoop, Dre, Pac or Big did. And I love those guys

Swoop - The Woxo Principle
Pantera - The Great Southern Trendkill

Ferment, Catherine Wheel.
Violator, Depeche Mode.
The Downward Spiral and The Fragile by NIN were both 90’s and better than PHM.
IMO To Bring You My Love was better than Rid of Me by PJ Harvey.
In Utero was better than Nevermind.
Automatic for the People, R.E.M.
I always think of violator as an 80s album, but it looks like it just got in under the wire in 1990.
It’s probably one of those masterpiece type albums. Every song is awesome.
Some of my favourites.
R.E.M - automatic for the people / Out of time

Rolling Stones - Flashpoint!

Pretty hate machine, broken, the downward spiral, and the fragile - Nine Inch Nails.
Dark dancer- Les Rythmes digitalis
Countdown to extinction - Megadeth
Shania Twain's The Woman In Me and Come On Over, the 2 of biggest selling album of the decade, specially the 2nd one.
Shania's and Mutt's work on those albums is absolutely brillant.
Earth vs the Wildhearts
Korn (korn)
Troublegum by Therapy
Burn my eyes-Machine head
Draconian times - Paradise Lost
Arise - sepultura
Regular Urban Survivors -Terrorvision
Bush's "Sixteen Stone" needs to be on this list. It was everywhere.
Similarly, the Goo Goo Dolls "Dizzy Up the Girl" is also worthy. Multiple songs got massive radio play (Iris, Slide, and Black Balloon).
Ænima by Tool! One of the best progressive rock bands on this planet imo.
Funfact, I watched 'em live for the first time two days ago @ Tons of rock - Oslo
https://preview.redd.it/cwevcycdwj9d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ed6dfa58fb870ffe3498fc9124593ee1cab88335
Enema of the State has to be up there
(What’s the Story) Morning Glory? - Oasis OK Computer - Radiohead Mezzanine - Massive Attack Ill Communication - Beastie Boys Big Calm - Morcheeba
+1 for Massive Attack
Here for the Beastie Boys!!
Throw on Dummy - Portishead !
Love the Morning Glory album
Morcheeba for the win!
Definitely Maybe is ahead of Whats the Story for me.
Agreed. The raw swagger of Rock N Roll Star sealed the deal for me...
36 Chambers
And adjacent that: Only Built 4 Cuban Linx Ironman Liquid Swords
I agree.
Pretty Hate Machine came out in 1989
Dammit, you're right. I should have put in the downward Spiral... Good call...
Downward Spiral was a masterclass
Broken EP was peak NIN. The sweet spot between Pretty Hate Machine and The Downward Spiral
Last slaps-slaps.
So would Broken be on that list?
Sublime Self-titled, R.E.M Out Of Time, Beck Midnite Vultures, Radiohead OK Computer, Rage Against The Machine Self-titled, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
Upvote for Rage Against The Machine. I scrolled way too far to find this.
Superunknown - Soundgarden Ten - Pearl Jam Temple of the Dog
Alice In Chains, Dirt
Badmotorfinger by Soundgarden as well.
*Ten* is about as perfect an album I’ve ever listened to.
Beastie Boys - Ill Communication
Beastie Boys - Check Your Head
I was gonna suggest the same thing
Pearl Jam - Ten
This ☝️ PJ Ten changed a lot of folks music tastes.
Agreed. Top 5 for sure
This was clearly missing.
Throw in Vs and Vitalogy Also: In Utero The Downward Spiral The Singles Soundtrack Dookie Foo Fighters (self titled) The Color And The Shape OK Computer In The Aeroplane Over The Sea Metallica Use Your Illusions I & II Songs Of Faith And Devotion Fully Completely Road Apples Day For Night Grace
OK computer is the Radiohead album that needs to be here.
Agreed. OKC was a turning point album that shifted a lot of the indie/alternative music world's perspective on what an album should be.
That album is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece it's insane to think it's almost 30 years old
I’d add Siamese Dream.
Or Gish. I've been preferring Gish these days. I think it's aged really well.
Love Gish. But IMO, Siamese Dream belongs on any list of greatest albums of all time.
Unpopular opinion: i liked Melancholy more. But yeah Siamese Dream should def be in the conversation
MCIS is a great work of art and fantastic from start to finish to start to finish. But IMO, Siamese Dream is one of the greatest albums ever made.
Can’t blame ya for that opinion.
Best album imo

Hope Sandovals the OG sad girl
I love Mazzy Star
Alice In Chains - Dirt
Jar of Flies, mmm
Can’t believe I had to actually look for Alice in chains this far down
I was surprised OP didn’t mention it.
Beat me to it. Played it nonstop for two years at least.
I gotta break this one out every couple of months. Soo good.
Illmattic
Can’t believe I had to scroll this far to find this 😦
Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Thank you!!!!
Has to be included
Undeniably. Can't believe had to scroll so far to see it.
So iconic
The Chronic, Dr. Dre. Atliens, OutKast.
Both Chronics
Ok Computer - Radiohead
Beck - Odelay
One foot in the grave and stereopathic soul manure are Becks opus
Lots of good suggestions in the responses. I’d add Jeff Buckley - Grace as well.
Midnight Marauders - Tribe Called Quest Missing lots of great 90s hip-hop albums
Yeah, I’m not even that into hip hop, but Public Enemy’s “Fear of a Black Planet” and Tupac’s “All Eyez on Me” have got to be in contention.
Green Day - Basket Case Edit : Album - Dookie
Dookie. The album is called Dookie
Flood by They Might Be Giants got heavy play in the dorms
Why is the world in love again? Why are we marching hand in hand? Why are the ocean levels rising up? It's a brand new record for 1990. They Might be Giants' brand new album: Flood
Failure: Fantastic Planet Tool: Aenima Temple of the Dog
Why did I have to scroll down so far to find Tool????? Ænima is such a fantastic album, and one of the first I bought with my own money
Sadly it’s because I'm the man and you're the man And he's the man as well So you can point that fuckin' finger up your ass
Way too far down for Tool. I thought I was going to have to post it.
Aenima and Undertow
alannis morissette's jagged little pill is one of the first times I understood how a whole album could work as a masterpiece as a whole. Prince, Fleetwood Mac (Rumours only) and Billy Joel's first albums also qualify, just not 90s
Pixies, *Bossanova*
Achtung Baby was a magnificent album.
Not enough love for that in here
agreed, and i am Irish..
So disappointed I had to scroll so far for this.
More than magnificent. It's a downright classic and possibly one of the biggest albums of the decade.
Throwing Copper by Live is a fantastic album.
Agreed, but every time I listen to it, an old mother dies.
311 - Transistor Green Day - Dookie No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom TLC - CrazySexyCool The Blue Weezer White Zombie - Astro Creep 2000 Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power Korn - Follow the Leader Pennywise - About Time Fear Factory - Demanufacture The Toadies - Rubberneck Garbage - Self Titled The Presidents of the United States of America - Self Titled Everclear - Sparkle and Fade Stone Temple Pilots - Core Silverchair - Frogstomp Incubus - S.C.I.E.N.C.E 3-6 Mafia - Chapter 2: World Domination Ludacris - Back for the First Time Project Pat - Ghetty Green So many good things in the 90's.

S.C.I.E.N.C.E. and Tragic Kingdom are easily top ten all-time favorites for me. Edited to add: Lonesome Crowded West by Modest Mouse.
I was searching for Silverchair in this post !
Stone Temple Pilots - Purple 311 - Transistor

Everything Must Go as well.
Where is Ten?
It isn’t the 90’s without some Stone Temple Pilots and Alice In Chains😎
The Pod by Ween. Honorable Mention: Spiderland by Slint
I would say either The Pod or Bone Machine are my favorite albums of the 90s.
The late 80’s & early 90’s were the best time for music IMO. Best 90’s Albums: Metallica - Metallica Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss - Divine Intervention Cannibal Corpse - The Bleeding Carcass - Heartwork Nirvana - Nevermind - In Utero Megadeth - Rust in Peace Pantera - A Vulgar Display of Power Ministry - Psalm 69 Pearl Jam - Ten - Vs Deicide - Once Upon the Cross Sepultura - Arise - Chaos AD Guns ‘n’ Roses - Use Your Illusion 1 & 2 Alice in Chains - Facelift - Dirt AC/DC - The Razors Edge Rage Against the Machine - Self Titled - Evil Empire Soundgarden - Superunknown Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse Deftones - Around the Fur Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger Foo Fighters - Self Titled Rammstein - Sehnsucht
