NOW HEAR THIS: Best 90's Albums

Tweet

Well, what do we have HEAR? The eagerly awaited follow-up to the Best 80's Albums, I'm sure. This time, let's rock the 90's!

Last time around, I categorized albums by year, fitting the theme. To switch things up and give you an instant overview of stuff you like, the presentation is genre themed.

There are some truly great musicians out there, but they're just never going to be my thing. I'm not into it! Take Bob Dylan's Time Out of Mind for example. Music aficionados would guffaw dare someone suggest it is NOT one of the best albums of the 90's, perhaps all time. And it is, truly, but you won't find it in my collection. People like what they like.
