I don’t think the 2nd half of SFNB is perfect. It’s a bit of a letdown after the first half, but what wouldn’t be? I should check out the b-sides I guess.
‘Start Again’ is the best song I’ve heard by them. I have not heard all their albums, though.
Seeing Grand Prix as Norman’s favorite is nice. It’s an incredible album.
No STP
WILL make a list..love the 90s
same...I could make a top 30 and still agonize over what got left off.
also, anyone else who was a kid in the early 90s, fess up and add this to your list:
Ace of Base - The Sign
#1 STP core
The rest in any order
White zombie devil music V1
Anthrax sound if white noise
Beasties Ill communication
Smashing pumpkins Simaese dream
Nirvana never mind
Eminem Shady LP
Dr Dre Cronic
Alice in chains dirt
Soundgarden bad motoorfinger
Megadeath sympathy of destruction

Impossible to rank for me but Core is the best cover to cover with sound of white noise being next and Nirvana all three effing great cover to cover.No need to skip a song..Awesome list.

Ok, attempting to pare this down to the 10 albums I absolutely couldn't live without:I'll pare this list down to 10 tomorrow. If I can. Sticking also to an "only one album by any artist" format or else it'd get ridiculous.

The 1990s sometimes get the hipster argument that they weren't very good but they have a pretty good argument for the best decade of music. The rock is smart, heavy, sophisticated and artistic (a sharp rebuke to the 1980s and most of the 1970s). You get the latter age 0f the Golden Age of hip-hop and smart gangsta rap. You have a solid punk revival. And the pop music I find considerably less irritating than post-2000 pop music. So many iconic artists who will stand the test of time.
I don't think I could do a top-10 album list.
Good to see Cypress Hill mentioned early. Probably the most underrated commercial successful hip-hop acts of the late Golden Age.
I could never get into Cypress Hill. They just came across as gimmicky and almost like a novelty act.
