Favorite Album of the 90's

[Tara Emory]

I dont recall the Tiny Toons bit, but I do know that the Istanbul song was popular enough to strike a chord with artsy types in my middle and high school. To be a teenager and aware of someone as offbeat (for the time) as Kate Bush is pretty much as out of the box as you can get, when AOR/MOR radio still dominated the airwaves.

actually, it also turns out that a lot of what i mentioned were also sorta local bands. TMBG i think grew up in Lincoln Mass, and the Throwing Muses were from Newport RI.

Yeah, Lincoln Mass. My first exposure was the cartoon show... wasn't till I was 14 or 15 that I found out they were an actual band and had nothing to do with that cartoon. Saw the Birdhouse video at 3am on MTVs Alternative Nation, and it was all over for me.

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.

I used to think that too until the first decade of the new millenium drew to a close. Let's see if this decade can top it.

There's no WAY I could pick just one.

Great list Max Power! I would have to name Mercury Rev "Deserters Songs", The Flaming Lips "The Soft Bulletin" and Neutral Milk Hotel "In The Aeroplane Over The Sea" as the three best "indie" albums of the nineties. Those three albums set up a decade of pitchfork fanboys.
