Favorite Album of the 90’s for us Old Timers

[Mmaynard11]

So this conversation from the banter thread got me thinking about music. What was your favorite album from the 1990’s?

Then to take it a step further what was your favorite song from that album?

 

[Mmaynard11]

For me it had to be 2-PAC All Eyez on Me. That entire album was downright gold! Just thinking of it brings back memories right now. I may pour a bourbon and throw on some…

"Clarity" from Jimmy Eat World.

The song, "For Me This is Heaven." The chorus makes me think of my wife.

The Prodigy - Fat of the Land
Firestarter

My all-time favorite album.

Gun to head it's this one



Favorite song is equally tough.
Let's go....

That album got me through college.

I have a strong list of honorable mentions, but none of them strike me like Clarity does.

This is like picking a favorite child, but I'll go with this.



Favorite song: All of them, but if I have to pick, "For Heavens sake"

I saw them on the Smoking Grooves tour in 1997. With The Roots, Cypress Hill, a bunch of others, and George Clinton finished the show coming down from the ceiling in a big UFO.

It was cool.

Summer of 2020 I fell back in LOVE with Wu Tang and mowed lawn for 3 months straight listening to Liquid Swords.

I get it.

That sounds about like the best concert ever

We need to make a 90s hip hop playlist...

I didn’t really pay any attention to rock or pop or other “popular” music in the 90s so I guess I really couldn’t say…

 

[Riverboat]

"Real" Radiohead fans get mad when you say this, but Pablo Honey is my favorite 90s album. "Creep" is the second greatest song of the 90s.

Nevermind is my second favorite album of the decade, with Smells like Teen Spirit the greatest song of the 90s.

Green Day’s Nim Rod album really put music on the map for me as a kid. I stumbled upon a Nim Rod CD at a Boys and Girls club when I was 9 and it blew me away. It introduced me to punk music and from there I fell in love with Blink-182, The Offspring, and so many others. Killer era of music for me.

Time of your life(Good Riddance) is hands down my favorite song from that album.

Outkast was still touring on ATLiens. (Which might be my favorite album of theirs. Wheelz of Steel is my favorite song.)

George Clinton and Cypress Hill brought it.

But The Roots blew me away.
