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.

I'd never even heard of these guys prior to coming onto this site. Being rated so high I gave it a listen on Spotify, thought it was alright and managed to track myself down a copy. It took a few listens before it fully clicked with me as I initially found the vocals a tad grating. Now I find it very addictive and have it on high rotation.
The sequencing and seguing from one song to the next is total perfection. An absolute true gem of an album. [First added to this chart: 06/09/2021]

I feel a tad guilty having this so high in my chart. I knew a fair amount of FNM songs but this was the first of their CD's I got. Fantastic compilation. Full of all the gems and more. With them all collected together it makes you realize at just what a fucking great band Faith No More are.

This was basically my introduction to Nick Cave. Hence why I love this. I've since accumulated a number of his studio albums. He's one of the very few artists in which I haven't heard a bad album from. The man's a legend and a musical genius.

You know what you're getting with Monster Magnet. Solid stoner rock/metal and consistency right throughout the album. I have found with this one however, it's hasn't kept the mind blowingness it gave me in the past. Don't get me wrong, still a fucking fantastic album, just not holding the test of time like a lot of their other albums

I know they're covers, but by god they're brilliant. Some way better than the originals, some not so but overall, this is a fantastic album.

Fantastic original sound. Bit of a metal/alternative hybrid. Packed with great rhythms and no filler. Solid right through. Best album they made under the name HLAH or Head Like A Hole

You can hear the crossover on this. There's still a lot of residue of Kyuss. It's not til the next album that they found their own sound. In regards to where this album is placed; this is better than any Kyuss album. There are quite a few QOTSA albums that are better than this. Just my opinion, that's all.

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.
