he gives good advice, you are a smart person frankiemachine.

What, latebloomer? Still upset that Lauryn didn't deliver MTV Unplugged No. 2.0 in time for this list?

the joke's lost on me, latebloomer, I have no idea what/who that is -probably just a sign that my (lack of) awareness of pop culture references is as far from the ilm norm as my musical taste

maybe.

just so y'all know.

All Eyez On Me - 42 points, 3 votes

Or maybe he's not in the canon anymore.

Tori Amos – Songs From the Choirgirl Hotel 112 points, 6 votes, 1 first place vote

Spice Girls Spice 127 points, 10 votes

also

:(

the irony is that Warrant actually got more votes then they should have. I had it on order when I had to do the ballot and put it where an album that was almost as good as Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich was. I wouldn't have even voted for Cherry Pie had I heard it before hand.

this statement fills me with wonderment and delight

"This is one record that I have strong memories of (actually Nevermind also but I won't go into that and that's been talked to death anyway). The record store stayed open til 12:30 am on this particular Monday night so we could all get our new Nirvana CD's. If I remember correctly the vinyl came out a week or two earlier?? (I could be wrong) Anyhow, I stumbled back to my friends place, which was the usual hangout at the time, and popped it in the Cd player and rocked out... I found this album immediately powerful. Shit, Scentless Apprentice, are you kidding me, that shit rocks so tough it's ridiculous!!! I just could not believe those sounds coming out of his mouth. And MILK IT!!!! yeaHHHHHHH!!!! FUCK!!!!
CLASSIC"

I'll go out on a limb and say the 80s one is more interesting so far. Even though I think I voted in this one.

seems like there were a lot more voters back then

I honestly do not remember if I voted or not in this.

gravediggaz!

I didn't recall this list being so awesome, but yeah.. AWESOME. 3 underworld albums?!?!? amazing.

yes! I wish Beacoup Fish was higher on the list, though.

Didn't vote in this, and don't know if I could have pushed A Tribe Called Quest's Midnight Marauders, D'Angelo's Brown Sugar, The Legendary Jim Ruiz Group's Oh Brother Where Art Thou?, or Unrest's Imperial f.f.r.r.or into the Top 100 anyway. Maybe LL Cool J's Mama Said Knock You Out?

i would like to run an alternative 90's poll, with a radical and experimental new voting system

A voting system in which only Mansun are eligible?
