SYRfox's thread did such a great job and was a lot of fun, now it is time to really go indepth into the 90s, which is debatably the most dense era of music, and inflames the most geekly tense debates in hipster album comparison history

and because of the vast amount out there and with plenty of time to have reflected on it, i shall ask you to PM me your Top 25 albums, i was thinking of doing 20 however with the large amount of great albums (and 5 SY full lenghts) it's just prudent


-> only albums released from January 1st, 1990 to December 31st 1999 included! No reissues, deluxe editions or whatever. No singles either, only albums...

-> Points will be: 25 for #1, 24 for #2, 23 for #3, etc.

-> if you wish to do less then 25, it's fine, but i totally recommend doing as much many as you can

i shall start tabulating next sunday morning, and hopefully will have the post up that afternoon

START YOUR SPINNING!!!

[batreleaser]

fuck, i have to make two more changes.

i totally forgot gastr del sol-upgrade and afterlife, which is definitley tied for boredoms at 1.

and i have to trade in darkthrone's "transylvanian hunger", which is my favorite metal album ever recorded, for deicide's "legion".

hope you done mind these ties, but there was one hell of an underground in the 90s. seems like the worse the mainstream is, the better the underground is, case in point the 80s-today.

That came out in the 00's dude. Sorry but it's not that hard to name 10 albums from a decade, no need to name only 1 from another decade.
