10 non techno albums of the '90's

[Bender420]

i've been listening to a lot of my old rock cds lately. and it got me thinking, what are 10 of the most influential non techno albums of the '90's for you? this was hard, but here goes mine...

in no certain order

1. alice in chains - jar of flies ( i went back and forth with this and unplugged )
2. blind melon - blind melon
3. blind melon - soup
4. temple of the dog
5. verve - urban hymns
6. nirvana - unplugged
7. candlebox- candlebox
8. smashing pumpkins- siamese dreams
9. portishead - live at roseland ball room
10. black box - wax trax records the first 13 years

the black box collection is really what started steering my towards techno

all of these with the exception of the black box really helped me through some pretty tough times in my life

I was really trying hard to post the albums that I personally loved, and not the albums that my friends might have liked but I didn't really connect with such as "alice in chains, tool, sonic youth, ministry, primus, portishead."

Well that's the point in music. The message you decipher from the vibrations which come out of the speaker. Miss the 90's. They were some good times, my troubled childhood.

Re: 10 non techno albums of the '90's

just way too many to list... i tried avoiding so many duplicates too just to be clever although i love about every album listed so far.
i also tried listing and artist's initial albums that got me influenced into their music. any others they may have done i may have liked more than the one i originally heard, but you get what i mean. 311 - transistor has to be one of the best rock albums i've ever heard, but 311 - blue album was the one that got me hooked on them....

pink floyd - division bell
311 - blue album
pantera - vulgar display of power
janes addiction - ritual de lo habitual
incubus - SCIENCE
the toadies - rubberneck
live - throwing copper
nin - the downward spiral
metallica - black album
oasis - definitely maybe'



great thread, btw.

Re: 10 non techno albums of the '90's

So many to name. It is hard to narrow it down. Here is a go:

1) Nirvana-Nevermind, Hormoaning EP
2) Sublime-40 oz, Robbin the hood & Self-Tilted
3) AIC-Dirt & Jar of Flies
4) Blind Melon-Self-Titled & Nico
5) Tool-Aenima
6) Trick-Pre-Millenium Tension & Angels with dirty faces
7) RHCP-Blood, Sugar, Sex & Magik
Radiohead-Ok Computer
9) Foo Fighter-Self Titled
10) Pearl Jam-Ten

I know there is more than ten but it is to hard to narrow it down to just ten cds.
