Top 100 Music Albums of the 1990s by mrmcrook

I realize my chart has a lot of compilations and many people believe compilations shouldn't count. The reason I have included them is so I can add a few bands/artists that have fantastic music and should be recognized. Otherwise the list will be hugely dominated by a dozen bands that everyone knows has a huge number of worthy albums. Hence why the large amount of compilations and live albums.

Any footnotes are just personal ramblings for my own entertainment.
And to remind me of the joy the music brings before all memory is erased.

My favorite Nirvana album. Even though it's categorized as a compilation I don't consider it to be. All songs on this are fucking fantastic. No commercial shine. I don't even label this as grunge. Most of this is great rock n roll. [First added to this chart: 10/21/2020]

I've got 'Flock. Best of the Mutton Birds' on CD. It's one of my favorite CD's. My very favorite. This is the first of the studio albums I've acquired. It's got 4 of the songs which are on the 'Best of'. But the rest which I hadn't heard are top notch as well. Fucking overall great CD. It's one of those unexplainable things, but there can be albums or bands that just resonate with you. The Mutton Birds seem to do that with me. It's like the frequency they emit just permeates through me. One of the best ever NZ bands in my opinion 08/24 [First added to this chart: 09/04/2024]

Screaming trees should of been bigger. Mark Lanegan is one of the finest singers with his melodic grunge rock vocals (even though I wouldn't call this grunge at all). This is a hidden gem from that era. Rock you can drift away to. [First added to this chart: 07/23/2021]

This is the soundtrack of the apocalypse set to industrial metal. Absolutely fucking fantastic. Heavy as fuck. Most tracks just ooze supreme specially the title track & NWO. Last two tracks let it down a bit but overall, a must have album for anyone who likes music of a heavier nature. Side note; Ministry is the best concert I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot) [First added to this chart: 10/21/2020]

This is real Heavy Fucking Metal. Packed with great tracks. 'Walk' easily taking it's place as one of the greatest ever metal songs. Definitely the best of all Pantera's albums. [First added to this chart: 10/21/2020]

This was the first ever CD I bought. Had hundreds of records, but with the joyous new technology that was the CD, this was my christening bit of music for the new player. Took years to then build up that collection. What an interesting time that all was. This is not a bad album at all. Overall it's a pretty good rock (??) album. One I enjoy every time I put it on.

Had on cassette back in the day. 30 years missing. Stoked to have again. The sequencing is a bit strange as the first couple of songs are probably the worst on it. They are in no way bad, but usually albums start with the tracks that draw you in. Anyway, after the first couple it just gets better. Danzig is fucking great. 07/24 [First added to this chart: 09/04/2024]

I agree with a lot of what you say. The value of compilations, how good Dopes To Infinty is (even if it is not in my decade chart t hods a respectable position in my yearly chart), and I had the same experience with NMH including first hearing of them through BEA....and I need to get around to a Headless Chickens album - heard a lot of their songs over the years and Gaskrankenstation is an all time favourite

This is a unique and very interesting chart. While I haven't included many compilations or live albums on my own charts, your rationale for doing so makes sense. Lots of stuff here I've never heard before, so I'm looking forward to sampling some of your selections that are less familiar to me, starting with your #1 pick.
