Honestly, I would put Homogenic in the S tier. I know Fantano prefers Vespertine more (another fantastic record), but something about it makes me come back to that record more. Plus, the All is Full of Love closer is beautiful.

homogenic feels more epic, but vespertine has a unique feel i dont really know how to describe. vespertine feels a bit more ahead of its time, but not better. and of course homogenic is also ahead of its time. idk.

Post is the best

[@twoften]

It's interesting how - back before the internet was something everyone had - there were occasionally these local albums that dropped and were as big in your country (and therefore in your memory) as the more ubiquitous US charting examples in this video. Back in the 90s, right next to my copy of Ok Computer on the shelf, I had Australian band Spiderbait's 'Ivy and the Big Apples'. Absolute banger of an album that never really did numbers anywhere else. It'd be nice to find more of these from around the world.

[@tylerrock7219]

I adore Liz Phair's Exile in Guyville, cool to see anyone talk about it, even if it's not your thing. Pitchfork using it as sort of a political move makes it look less like it's worth checking out, which is a shame, I think more people should give it a shake. It's not the best thing to come out of the 90s or w/e but I think it's very nice, chill, passionate indie rock from a woman who felt she wouldn't make a name for herself with this project and chose to do it anyway.

[@MaxMax-zo9vq]

I would actually say it’s a super deserving spot. It’s easily my second favorite album of that decade, and Liz Phair’s economic songwriting is some of the best in indie rock.

Imagine a top 10 albums of the 90s without The Downward Spiral...

[@chloemchll3774]

Idk, I don’t find that hard at all. Most overrated albums of the 90s maybe, but when Johnny Cash can take the best song on the record and make it better, it is hard for me to see it as a top 10 album.

[@ClaudioDiBiase16]

@@chloemchll3774 I'm going to apologize for my english first since i'm italian. Johnny Cash didn't make it any better for me, but it's just my opinion. I don't think there is much i can say about that record that it doesn't say on it's own, but i will try. The writing is immense, Hurt is not the best song in TDS, it is close, but there isn't a single weak minute on that record. It spans in a wide range of emotions like a few other records have ever been able to do. It tells a story like no other record has ever been able to do (still, it's my humble opinion). There are other records from the 90s that i love, like Geek the Girl by Lisa Germano (another masterpiece imo), Nick Cave's Good Son, Morphine's Good and Soul Coughing's Ruby Vroom. But there's something special in The Downward Spiral, it reaches a place somewhere deep inside of me. And the way Trent Reznor arranged it, the percussion sounds he chose (some of the best in the whole history of industrial rock), the layered keyboards too, the way he put together some intense and powerful lyrics and delivered them perfectly by changing his way of singing multiple times throughout the record. This is, for me, one of the 40/50 best records in the history of rock music. Of course i respect your opinion, and i love that you were respectful too, it is not something to be taken from granted nowadays. I'm curious to hear your top 10!

[@chloemchll3774]

@@ClaudioDiBiase16 I actually shared my top ten in a post on this video a couple days ago, and in rereading it today I want to edit it because I feel I left somethings off I’d like to include (assuming I can figure out what to cut). To be clear- I didn’t mean to sound quite as insulting as I probably came across toward The Downward Spiral; it is a terrific album. I happen to think Hurt is the best song on it, but there are a few others I can get why other people would put above it. Rather, and I should have made this much clearer, is that I think the 1990s was such a ripe decade when it comes to great albums. So my comment was really more just that no matter which great album from then you’re talking about, it being overlooked in preference of other great albums is always possible. It’s all subjective. My favorite album of the decade is OK Computer from Radiohead, and yours sounds like Downward Spiral, and those are both reasonable choices, among probably about 20-25 others.

[@chloemchll3774]

@@ClaudioDiBiase16 as for Johnny Cash… what amazes me is that the entire meaning of the song changes, and to me, Cash’s version hits in a more universal way. As NIN did it, Hurt is about being so lost in your depression (the downward spiral) that hurting yourself just to feel anything else seems like a reasonable idea. As Cash did it, it is about an inability to deal with overwhelming grief/regret, and could really only come from an artist like Cash, looking back on his life as it is nearing its end. Both are great; I prefer Cash cause I feel it is more universal because while not everyone deals with the sort of depression Trent sings about, pretty much everyone does have to deal with a close loved one dying and not knowing how to process the grief after.

​@@Chris.4345You may be right, but I'm pretty familiar with many 90s songs, hits and not, from many genres, and I gotta say it IS my favorite decade for music. Possibly for entertainment in general. It's not nostalgia since I'm 29, I'm a 2000s kid if anything, and when I was 10 I discovered Nirvana and it was over for me. I dropped all my modern music and kept discovering and falling in love with the 90s bands. And even now, after going through many music phases, from country as a kid to rock and metal in my preteen-teen years to rap to nowadays where I'm more an underground country/folk fan than anything, I still get NO dopamine rush from anything like I do 90s entertainment in general. Maybe it just hits for me, or maybe since I wasn't actually really "there" for it I've been able to only catch the parts that stood the test of time. But we have access to every decade's entertainment and I gotta say, nothing comes close to the 90s for me. 60s is second. DON'T YOU WANT SOMEBODY TO LOVE

Always stoked to see Liz Phair get a feature in any 'greatest 90s' discourse. I adore her music and have been obsessed since I was just 13 and I thought for ages she just seemed to be forgotten or overlooked over time. Nobody around me really seemed to know her or be familiar with her music, I thought I was discovering some untapped goldmine back when I was an angsty teenager with raging hormones. Her humour and dry wit always just spoke to me, but she also had some stunning, sparkling tunes like 'Nashville' and 'Shane' from my favourite of all her albums 'Whip-Smart', which I think is miles ahead of 'Exile in Guyville' in terms of her strengths musically. And also I have to say, for anyone who is a Liz Phair skeptic, but loves lo-fi bedroom indie stuff, then I would recommend listening to her three demo records under the name 'Girly-sound'. It's a fantastic foundation for her studio records and honestly I prefer them over any of her more heavily produced music. There is bound to be a Liz Phair track that speaks to you.

[@hydrangeashark3074]

Live Through This was appraised pretty positively initially, I think people's hatred of Courtney just overshadowed that more as time went on, which is alluded to here. For me though, it is absolutely worthy of the top 10 placement. Her vocals were updating some of the stuff pretenders or Blondie were doing but adding in all these rem-isms and grunginess and blending all these influences intuitively while also being versatile and confident enough in that versatility to sound menacing and playful both. I think the first track is still a great pop song for that specifically And the band was making this heavier rem ish stuff (using courtneys framing from interviews) jittery and bright and tense in a way that still sounds exciting, also very reflective of the band minus Courtney being addicted to stimulants at the time. You listen to the instrumental on the second track and it sounds so casually manic, so bittersweet it still gets under my skin. I can understand being skeptical of this albums placement, but there have always been critics who champion the record even when speaking negatively about Courtney. Glad more people are listening to it now, regardless of whether it deserves it's placement, I think it's a great record worth listening to that's been semi ignored by a lot of newer music fans.

[@alfreedom7750]

Not top 10

[@devon_darko]

It's a very good record. I personally disagree with his take that there are bad performances anywhere on the album, and I love it just as much as Nevermind. I also disagree with the statement that Hole didn't approach the grunge scene with their own spin on that style/their own personality. It's so distinctive in my mind - but to each their own. I also don't think "Doll Parts" is the best song haha

[@hydrangeashark3074]

@@devon_darko im fully with you, I was surprised when he made that comment about the performances, and equally surprised the lyrics were one of the saving graces of the album for him. I like the lyrics a lot, but the bands performances are always interesting and one of the things that make this record so good, the guitar on I think that I would Die, the way Asking for It opens, there are so many interesting segues and surprising but satisfying moments. And I like Doll Parts but also disagree on it being the best, personally the first two tracks, Jennifer's body, asking for it, I think that I would die are all perfect to me, but that's just off the top of my head, I genuinely love the whole album.

[@fishbrehth]

my submission for best album of the 90’s is the ‘91 release of Slint’s storied sophomore LP, an album that modern discussions of post-rock and even some tangents of goth and cerebral atmospheric looping drone instrumentals the likes of swans but stripped back and not quite as repetitive or methodically monotone, maybe closer to bauhaus if bauhaus was using guitar tones highly infused with that 90’s butt-rock distortion during the instrumental swells that occur in the various points of the tight tracklist. the album is so short and i feel like i’ve read a book by the time it’s over, and it is endlessly replayable, with nearly flawless and eccentric percussion, spoken word passages that bridge into beat poetry at points and then billow like puffs of smoke into sometimes screamed recitations of surreal metaphor doused with a level of followable storytelling that ties the tracks so perfectly together, even though each feels so significantly individual in its presentation. that isn’t to say that the presentation is all over the place, there is structure at work here… but if you listen closely to the drumwork especially, you will notice subtle variations and accents and nuances of the instrumentation that changes the musical composition of the or orchestration practically every bar, almost like jazz except played as previously described and using a much clearer definition of modern pop and rock aesthetics coming out of post-punk and other myriad facets of the rock landscape of the early 90’s, but this drives the clear vamp (a repeated loop in guitar work that is meant to act both as a percussive measure of a single bar of melody, and is structured to repeat itself every bar so that melodically it has symmetry) on tracks such as washer or the noodly opener or nosferatu man. the album is uniquely engaging track for track for track. legitimately the only album i give enough apparent credit (as this is the first time i’ve realized this) that i listen to the entirety of the record multiple times in one sitting. definitely imo should be in anybody’s top 3 of the 90’s, and it is my pick for numero uno.

Everyone has their own opinions about lists like this. I had no idea what I'd pick personally for "best" because influence, innovation, etc. have to factor into the decision. Even though I have listened to all of the albums in this Top 10 numerous times, apparently this (per my Spotify stats) is what I ACTUALLY enjoy listening to the most... 1. Nirvana - Nevermind / In Utero / Unplugged (had to combine these otherwise they'd all be in the Top 10) 2. Radiohead - OK Computer 3. Garbage - Garbage / Version 2.0 (had to combine or both would be on here) 4. Tribe Called Quest - Low End Theory 5. Dr. Dre - The Chronic 6. Depeche Mode - Violator 7. Madonna - Ray of Light 8. Nas - Illmatic 9. R.E.M. - Monster 10. Marilyn Manson - Mechanical Animals MBV is a respectable choice for a list like this due to the influence but, keeping it real, I don't enjoy listening to it all that much. I find the Liz Phair and Lauryn Hill albums to be massively overrated and neither would make my Top 100 for the 90s. The Bjork, Hole, Janet and WTC albums are all solid.
