Q: In what world are Ben Folds Five albums considered "obligatory" in a top albums of the 1990's list?
A: In "crazy, myopic scenester girl" world?
In betty's obviously.
After a quick read of all the posts, a few comments.
The Specials in the 90's??? We are talking about Terry Hall and co. aren't we?
I'd go along with Oasis, The Verve, Morrissey of course, Counting Crows and add James (Laid) and Belle& Sebastian (If you're feeling sinister)

Has anyone mentioned Sugar? If not, they deserve a nod. Copper Blue was excellent I thought.

Can we keep this thread a non-flaming one please? It's a good one so no need to attack those with differing music tastes of yourself (even though I happen to agree with you!!)

What a great list of albums you all bought in the 2000's you've all created. You might as well add the Beta Band's 3 EP's to your list before it gets simply diregarded as not "insightful" enough.
Those of you that were alive in the 90's really bought (and played the hell out of):
Pearl Jam - 10
Jane's Addiction - Ritual De Lo Habitual
Beastie Boys - Ill Communication
Cowboy Junkies - The Trinity Sessions
Counting Crows - August and Everything After…
Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
Fugees - The Score
REM - Automatic for the People
Oasis - What's the Story Morning Glory
The Verve - Urban Hymms
U2 - Auchtung Baby
And because I'm from So Cal I'll also readily admit to also playing the hell out of…
Social Distortion - Social Distortion
No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom
Dr. Dre - The Chronic
I am pretty sure The Chronic was played everywhere, and I admit to listening to every thing on your list more than once other than Janes Addiction (never liked them, still dont), Acuhtung Baby and replace Ill Communication (which was a total frat boy album at AU) with Check Your Head

I came back to this board to talk about music subscription services and devices to play them at home (another thread), but just had to weigh in here for a quick second.
Back in the day when I used to post here a lot (late 1990s!), we did a thread on the best albums of the 90s. I voted the Cocteau Twins' Heaven or Las Vegas as the best from that decade, and that assessment still applies.
Anyone here from the old days? Nathan? Maddy? Sorry, I'm forgetting so many of the other names of regular posters. We had a lot of good things to say back then, that's for sure!
