Hi

Faith No More - Angel Dust
or
U2 Achtung Baby

[JenniferParisHusband]

1992 - TMBG - Apollo 18.

Jamie, excellent choice! Glad to see I'm not the only person who appreciates TMBG!

Both of those are great albums... Pixies "Bossanova" or Built to Spill "there's nothing wrong with love" are probably my favorites

Riley, Bossanova, a classic!

I personally would have added my top-5 favorites to this list.
1.) Oasis - (What's the Story) Morning Glory?
2.) hitomi - Thermo Plastic
3.) Depeche Mode - Violator
4.) Faith No More - Angel Dust
5.) Live - Selling the Drama

1992 - TMBG - Apollo 18.

Great pick. I love TMBG. They play a free show every year right after Thanksgiving at Mohegan Sun Casino here in CT. I've seen them a half dozen times and they never disappoint. This past November, their equipment truck caught on fire a few days before the show, so they had to play with rented gear, and no horn section, but they were still great.

Also a great pick. Pixies are perhaps my second favorite band, behind the Beatles. I've seen them a bunch of times also, both when they were first together, and on their more recent reunion tours.


The 90's were a big music decade for me, so it's impossible for me to pick a favorite, but I will list some albums I think were great (not in any particular order):

On the Mouth - Superchunk
Pinkerton - Weezer
Last Splash - The Breeders
Dig Me Out - Sleater-Kinney
The Pink Album - Tuscadero
The Real Ramona - Throwing Muses
Copper Blue - Sugar
Exile in Guyville - Liz Phair
Gish - Smashing Pumpkins
Penthouse - Luna
Icky Mettle - Archers of Loaf
Bring it Down - Madder Rose
Foo Fighters
Social Distortion
Girlfriend - Matthew Sweet
Bandwagonesque - Teenage Fanclub
American Thighs - Veruca Salt
Live Through This - Hole
Let Me Come Over - Buffalo Tom

I could keep going, but I won't as this is probably too long already and I'm boring the shit out of everyone. But the 90's were definitely a great time for music.

IVE BEEN AROUND FOR AWHILE MORE THEN A FEW DECADES LOL BUT I REALLY THINK THE 90S WAS THE WORST DECADE IN MUSIC.THE 60S BEING THE BEST.

Feel like a poser now... both of my two favorites were mentioned... Exhile in Guyville... and Apollo 18.

But I have to say that the most important album is Pearl Jam 10... anyone in genX knows Jeremy and Evenflow.

Best albums of the 60's, that would be an interesting thread, might require a lot of thought too.

Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
Radiohead - OK Computer
The Chronic - Dr. Dre
Daft Punk - Homework

To be honest there were so many different styles in the 90's I wouldn't be able to choose. It's funny to say that a single decade could be the best. For example, the 90's built off of the rock bands in the late 60's early 70's. The rock bands of the 60's and 70's built off of the blues legends of the 40's and 50's. Hell if you look at most of the hit songs from the 60's and 70's, they were mostly covers from the likes of Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to speak poorly of the 60's. It's just great to watch the evolution of music and the see the inspirations that birthed it.

Exile in Guyville is in permanent rotation in my car's cd player. Liz Phair was far more interesting when she sung off key about being a slut at age 12..

and always been into that Pixies/Breeders/Throwing Muses clusterfuck of related bands,..

and a TMBG fan since about '89...

I'm not gonna guess how old you are but in 89 I was 10, which means my first exposure to TMBG was from Tiny Toons, when they featured those two videos... one for Istanbul, the other for Particle Man... is your story similar?
