but isnt the point that everyone wishes they would regurgitate blue lines, but instead they are taking different musical avenues?<P>The reviews of this album sure dont sound like blue lines to me.<P>Personally I am not a big trip-hop expert. But blue lines and meazzanine were part of lifes soundtrack back home.

To add to my OK computer vote, since I didn't see it here… would be Ten by PJ. I was in college at the time, and thought Nirvana stunk, but for some reason, this album got continuous play for… well, I still listen to it at times. I remember thinking that it was the first grunge (more pop grunge) that I took to… and certainly more listener friendly than Green River and Mudhoney.
My Bloody Valentine â?? Loveless, hands (and heads) down.<P>Mercury Rev â?? Deserter's Songs is another one that's up there…I haven't seen it posted yet.

Ahh… best hip hop release from the 90's:<P>Nas- "Illmatic"<P> <P>
PE Fear of a Black Planet<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial, Veranda">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Joymonster:<BR><B>Ahh… best hip hop release from the 90's:<P>Nas- "Illmatic"<P> <P></B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>
Soundgarden - Superunknown
Aside from Nas's "Illmatic", Tribe's Low End Theory deserves a nod as one of the top rap albums of the 90s.
For best hip-hop album in the 90s, I'd rank'em as:<P>1. Nas - Illmatic<BR>2. Wu Tang - 36 Chambers<BR>3. PE - Fear of a Black Planet<BR>4. Notorious BIG - Ready to Die<BR>5. JayZ - Reasonable Doubt <BR>6. Tribe Called Quest - Low End Theory<BR>7. DMX - Its Dark and Hell is Hot<BR>8. De La Soul - Is Dead<BR>9. 2Pac - All Eyez on Me<BR>10. Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx<BR>
<i>My Bloody Valentine â?? Loveless, hands (and heads) down.</i><P>huh, I thought that was late 80's, but it was 1991. <P>Good one. That is just a fabulous album.
how come i see an exclusion of any OutKast from the hip hop lists?<P><BR>…except mine.<p>[This message has been edited by colonoscopy (edited 02-11-2003).]
