Hi Everyone,
Thank you to the 75 people contributing with 276 different albums of their 10 best albums of the 90's! If you however have not contributed yet and would like to then please do, this list will always be open to additions :) How this list works is that I had originally sent an message to a large number of shoutboxes asking for users 10 best 90's albums and to rank them from 1 to 10. With 1 being the best and 10th being the 10th best album they had listened to from the 90's. Below is the way the scores have been indicated :)
1st = 10 score
2nd = 9 score
3rd = 8 score
4th = etc... until 10th best album listened to
If some albums have the same score then I have done the following to dictate which is higher. 1st method would be to determine which album had the most users putting it in the top 10, if that still doesn't decided then I did what was the highest given score.
Last time I did one of these I said I wouldn't do one for a while which seemed to be a bit of lie lol. I will say again it might take me awhile to be bothered to do another one of these but we shall see. Anyway I hope this is worth it for you guys to be able to see what albums you should listen to next! Please let me know if I messed up your score or anything similar so I can change it.
Thank you for having a look my list, hope you enjoy!
ps. I would start listening to some of these if you haven't already :)

“Yeah, this deserves a spot on the list. This will likely be a number when all is said and done, but that’s only because it is that great. Bursts of emotion somehow escape the ice cold production of this album, perfectly capturing the feeling of trying to live in our technology obsessed dystopia. One of art rock’s finest hours” (@BaddieBaphomet)

“Nas didn’t invent conscious rap, but he might as well have because this album basically inspired every single conscious rap album that came after it, and frankly most that have come after him haven’t done it nearly as well as he had with this debut. Fantastic wordplay, great storytelling, amazing beats - believe the hype” (@BaddieBaphomet)

“In The Aeroplane Over the Sea is, for its seemingly menial runtime, a whole different beast once you dig into it. Driven by powerful, emotionally driven instrumentations backed by poignant and ingenious lyricism, the record, as an experience, never fails to impress me, as it tackles its subject matter with both an intoxicating and heartfelt sincerity.” (@biglasagnayeet)

“As far as I’m concerned, the 90’s didn’t start until September 24th 1991 when this album dropped. Just on impact over the culture alone this deserves a spot, and it just so happens that this record really holds up. Kurt Cobain and co. came up with an album that somehow managed to mix angst and an intentionally raw and ugly sound with well crafted songwriting that would make many pop hit makers jealous” (@BaddieBaphomet)

“There’s a reason why this is the industrial album that stuck around.
