Damn, you beat me to it, and I even left off the Allman Brothers.

It was also the year it all clicked for me. I already liked stuff like Green Day, soundgarden, nirvana, nin, korn, deftones, white zombie, etc but just in passing.

But the Paranoid Android video made my buy OK Computer in 97. And my best friend at the time also discovered it on his own. It forever altered my preference to the more "alternative" of alternative of music if you will. It's one of the favorite vinyls in my collection.

Point taken, but every year has shite music.


As I said it is fond for me.



certainly not the worst ever

And there's nothing wrong with that. Hope I didn't come across as shitting on your choice. Music is too subjective for their to be a unanimous choice to the question. I just think 97 is very top heavy. Some great albums, but some downright awful ones. Some of the worst of the 90's, IMO.

Me hating Radiohead doesn't help

Yea, thanks I'll add those to the list...I know unplugged was in 93 but they released it after his death in 94 so it's technically a 94 release.

I can't believe I overlooked that many, but I'd put 1994 up agaist any year, even 69-70

1987

it's been scientifically proven.

gross

No love for scraping feotus off the wheel?
