Awesome Albums From The 90s!!!!!!!!!!!!

In which some sick nasty albums from my birth decade are listed in no particular order:D
1Swans
Soundtracks for the Blind


The first really EPIC Swans album (its almost two and a half hours long), STFB
blends folk, samples, loops, noise, and just long-ass compositions into one of the
best post-rock albums of the nineties and of all time
2The Flaming Lips
The soft Bulletin


This album is really an anomaly in the indie music world. Its not cryptic or noisy or
difficult in any pitchfork approved way. Its just honest, well written, and brilliant.
Wayne Coyne muses on death, life, scientists, and at one point just stands up and
says YEAH, and it all feels natural and compelling.
3 Godspeed you! Black Emperor
F#infinitysymbol


This is an album that you see more than you hear (I say as I sip a latte in my local
coffee shop :D). Whether its mothers clutching babies, a mad street preacher, or a
LARGE BARGE WITH A RADIO ANTENNA ON IT, this album lets you visualize the
upcoming nuclear war with 20/20 clarity
4My Bloody Valentine
Loveless


A SWIRLING FUZZY SENSUAL ATMOSPHERIC SENSUAL LOUD WAVERING
GLIDINGASDAOSDUHSFIAOFDGYASADOUFDI.......... 100/10 WOULD BANG
AGAIN!!!!!!!!! (Seriously though, listen to this thing, its great :D)
5The Smashing Pumpkins
Siamese Dream


Say what you will about Billy Corgan, the man can throw together a sweet guitar
riff. Somewhere My Bloody Valentine, Black Sabbath, and Boston, this bad boy has
some sick guitar air guitar moments (cherub rock, hummer, rocket, soma, geek USA,
Silver****) balanced with some nice pop songs/ballads (today, disarm, spaceboy,
sweet sweet, luna). Do the lyrics suck? Of course!! Do they work perfectly with
sick sea of fuzz behind them and Billy Corgans awful snarl? Yes!! One of my favorite
guitar albums of all time :D
6Nirvana
In Utero


Nevermind's snotty little brother, In Utero is probably one of the most extreme
albums ever to debut at number 1 on the Billboard hot 100. The songs are just as
catchy Nevermind (pennyroyal tea can get stuck in your head for weeks at a time),
but the production is more minimalist and brutal
7Radiohead
Ok Computer


Crucify me, but I love this album. Not as crazy as Kid A (my personal favorite
Radiohead album), just straight up guitar rock with an progressive and electronic
flair
8 Aphex Twin
Selected Ambient Works Volume 2


Gone are the beats, the melodies, and the hooks. All we get freaky drones,
haunting chord progressions repeated for minutes at a time, and the occasional
click track push WAY back in the mix. Pure atmosphere ranging from peaceful to
terrifying, this is ambient music at its best
9Neutral Milk Hotel
In The Aeroplane Over the Sea


In hindsight this album started a bunch of horrible trends currently being sodomized
by beanie wearing indie bands: Misspelled titles, folk instrumentation, wacky lyrics,
and ridiculous vocal delivery. But this album is totally "feels" all the way to its core.
Themes of death, young sex, and war fill this thing to the brim and give it a heft
that most white boys could only hope to deliver
10 Beck
Odelay


It was a toss up between this and Laughing Stock by Talk Talk, but seeing as there
are far more post rock albums on this list than ?????????? albums, I elected some
good old fashion Beck to finish everything off. In the weird world between hip hop,
folk, and random crap found in thrift store record bins, this is a colorful and
engaging listen on side to the next!!!!!
