Greatest Albums of the 90s!

A Listmania! list by G. Horn "gazwozere" (Lancaster, UK)
(REAL NAME)   
 
The Sun Is Often Out
1.  The Sun Is Often Out by Longpigs
The list author says:
  "Perhaps THE most woefully overlooked album of the 90s. Pre-Pulp Richard Hawley, Crispin Hunt's angst-tinged vocals, and some of the best tunes of the so-called 'Britpop' era. Utterly brilliant."
£5.60   Used & New from: £1.99
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (19 customer reviews)

Expecting To Fly
2.  Expecting To Fly by Bluetones
The list author says:
  "Though The Bluetones produced some great singles in the latter 90s and beyond, they never topped anything on this album. Much, much more than just the 'Slight Return album'."
£5.77   Used & New from: £0.27
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (20 customer reviews)

Maxinquaye
3.  Maxinquaye by Tricky
The list author says:
  "I was a huge Massive Attack fan, still am - but this debut by Tricky shows how much M.A. had missed. Worth buying this album if only for 'Overcome', Tricky's vision of how Karmacoma should've sounded"
£4.29   Used & New from: £0.66
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (20 customer reviews)

August & Everything After
4.  August & Everything After by Counting Crows
The list author says:
  "So much more than just 'Mr. Jones'! Sit back, put your feet up, and float around in your own little space for 55-odd minutes of Americana perfection."
£4.99   Used & New from: £0.48
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (77 customer reviews)

His 'N' Hers
5.  His 'N' Hers by Pulp
The list author says:
  "Everyone remembers Different Class, Pulp's real commercial breakthrough - but in my opinion, this is their best album. Edgier, less pop-polished, and Jarvis's lyrics at their best."
£3.99   Used & New from: £0.41
4.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (18 customer reviews)

Blood Sugar Sex Magik (U.S. Version)
6.  Blood Sugar Sex Magik (U.S. Version) by Red Hot Chili Peppers
The list author says:
  "RHCP's greatest album by a mile...and one of THE greatest ever. Buy this album and hear the Peppers at the height of their powers. You will throw Stadium Arcadium straight in the bin!!!"
£5.77   Used & New from: £0.88
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (91 customer reviews)

Blur
7.  Blur by Blur
The list author says:
  "Blur's attempt at the US college sound. They got slated for it...we got their best album to date."
£3.97   Used & New from: £0.01
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (29 customer reviews)

Odelay
8.  Odelay by Beck
The list author says:
  "The album that catapulted Beck Hansen from one-hit-wonder to global phenomenon. Beck has made some incredible albums, and this is where it all begins. Buy this, then the rest of his back catalogue!"
£4.69   Used & New from: £0.98
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (19 customer reviews)

In It for the Money
9.  In It for the Money by Supergrass
The list author says:
  "The point where Supergrass grew up and found their balls! Richard III and Sun Hits The Sky...do you need more reason to own this album?"
£4.22   Used & New from: £0.01
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (12 customer reviews)

OK Computer
10.  OK Computer by Radiohead
The list author says:
  "Perhaps an obvious addition, and one that regularly tops the polls as greatest album ever made...but there IS a reason why."
£4.99   Used & New from: £0.74
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (269 customer reviews) | 3 customer discussions

Replenish
11.  Replenish by Reef
The list author says:
  "Now, sadly, perhaps best remembered for the 'It's Your Letters' tune on TFI Friday. This, their debut, was loud, proud, west-country salty blues-rock. I love it."
£10.75   Used & New from: £0.09
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (5 customer reviews)

Throwing Copper
12.  Throwing Copper by Live
The list author says:
  "In the mid-90s I spent a year working in the States...and this album was EVERYWHERE. Listen to it, and you quickly understand why."
£5.97   Used & New from: £0.01
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (16 customer reviews)

Take Dis
13.  Take Dis by Credit to the Nation
The list author says:
  "I first heard the track 'Teenage Sensation' from a friend at school, and had to find the album. Quirky, uniquely British hip hop/soul/dance/funk fusion. Ahead of its time."
Used & New from: £2.44
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (6 customer reviews)

Suede
14.  Suede by Suede
The list author says:
  "The album that should've catapulted Suede to superstardom. They hesitated, blinked, and Oasis happened."
Used & New from: £1.86
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (10 customer reviews)

Becoming X
15.  Becoming X by Sneaker Pimps
The list author says:
  "The track 'Six Underground' was everywhere, but the rest of this album has so much more to offer. Trip-hop, rock and dance all meld together seamlessly. Great stuff."
£7.45   Used & New from: £0.01
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (8 customer reviews)

Connected
16.  Connected by Stereo MC's
The list author says:
  "Put on a good set of headphones, lie down on the living room floor, close your eyes...and wait for the opening beats of Track 1 to kick in. If you don't get up and dance, you're probably dead."
£3.99   Used & New from: £0.22
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (9 customer reviews)

Medicine 4 My Pain
17.  Medicine 4 My Pain by Lynden David Hall
The list author says:
  "Lynden David Hall was the UK's answer to D'Angelo and Maxwell. But better. Sweet, soulful, and smooth...a huge talent, taken away far too early."
£6.37   Used & New from: £0.24
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (15 customer reviews)

Attack Of The Grey Lantern
18.  Attack Of The Grey Lantern by Mansun
The list author says:
  "Stripper vicars, heaven and hell, and tax issues...it's all here. If Pink Floyd had watched vampire flicks and lived in cheshire they may well have sounded like this. A gem."
£4.61   Used & New from: £0.01
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (17 customer reviews)

Guerrilla
19.  Guerrilla by Super Furry Animals
The list author says:
  "I couldn't have a list of the greatest 90s albums without including one of the best 90s bands: still one of the most creative bands in Britain, this album shows why."
Used & New from: £0.95
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (10 customer reviews)

Bring It on
20.  Bring It on by Gomez
The list author says:
  "Mercury Prize winning debut from Gomez. It's impossible to describe their sound here, it's uniquely their own - and bloomin' good too!!!"
£3.97   Used & New from: £0.09
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (30 customer reviews)
