Ready to Die.

Nothing else deserves to be on the list.

Many favorites of mine have been already mentioned, but how about Gang Starr- Daily Operation?

Good one. NOFX Punk in Prublic is an easy one for me too.

There's really no way to say this without sounding like a dick, so my apologies, but do you guys listen to anything that isn't on the radio?

Haha I get what you're saying. That said OK Computer didn't get a lot of airplay. I think "Karma Police" was the only song played on alt-rock stations.

But back in the 90's the radio still played different genres of music. You had rap, alt-rock, classic rock, country, pop, etc. so you had some good music being played on the radio back then. Not anymore...

Now it's pop and country with a low frequency classic rock station floating around out there.

The Pharcyde, "Bizzare Ride to the Pharcyde" maybe the best rap album of all time and definitely one of the best albums of the 90's.

Couple more I'd throw in if I ever got around to making a list like this:

 

Alice in Chains - Dirt

RHCP - BloodSugarSexMagik

 

Maybe even chuck in Throwing Copper by Live.

Good list Matt. I listened to the hell out of Rage and Chronic good stuff.

[NewMarketSean]

Good call on Tribe. Midnight Marauders too.

[Pedro Cerrano]

Oh yea. This is the good shit right here.

Radiohead, The Bends, turned 20 last week.

 

I was wrapped up in rap when it came out so I didn't discover it for another 10 years.

[SammyBirdland]

Oh yea. This is the good shit right here.

 

Apparently Frank Black is my dopplegänger (not that that is a good thing).    I mean, sure, fat bald white guy, not that hard.

But then I found this photo of him from when he was young, and I have to admit it freaked me out a little.

I accidentally found this cassette tape via BMG or Columbia House and it's the greatest thing I've ever heard in my life.

Seven Mary Three "American Standard", "Rock Crown" and "Orange Ave". Great band, so much more than "Cumbersome".

[RShack]

When you take a whole decade and that's all you have to show for it, well, it wasn't a very good decade...

[NewMarketSean]

Did someone just fart? Or did they shit themselves? It smells in here.

Lol. Seven Mary Three is not indicative of great 90s music.

Typical old guy response.

Typical old guy response. 

 

Do you look at that list and see a good decade for music?  (This is real question...)
