Best Album on OUR Favourite Albums of......1990!! by pfunkboy & Michael B

Rolling Stone 1990 Critics Albums

1. Sinéad O'Connor - I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got
2. Neil Young And Crazy Horse - Ragged Glory
3. The Replacements - All Shook Down
4. Living Colour - Time's Up
5. Rosanne Cash - Interiors

47. Electribal Memories - Electribe 101
10. L.L. Cool J - Mama Said Knock You Out

A big yes to these two.

I didn't really find myself, musically, until 1989/1990 when I got into metal in quite a big way. Consequently, I know that Kerrang! list all the way down and would still happily listen to a good bunch of those records. Less happy to say that I went to my first real, all-alone, gig that year. It was the Quireboys. Eesh.

did you have a seven o'clock party?

we did this is 2007 and somebody voted bob geldof
NME/Melody Maker/Sounds/Kerrang/Vox/Spin/Rolling Stone/The Face - Best Albums of 1990 (POLL ENDS 11th May)

If My Mother Has Requested That I Render You Unconscious was on here I’d vote for that. One of my favorite albums ever!

Another almost forgotten favourite from this year: Rhythms In Me, the only album Robert Owens made for Island Records. It was one of the options in that 2007 poll Oor Neechy linked to.

Depeche Mode vs. The Fall is doing my head in at the moment. 🙃

they're no bob geldof

What a good year. But it's gotta be Violator, I think it's the only one I still play. Some of the rap might be good, but I just don't have the patience for all of that shoegazing anymore.

It's a brand new record for 1990

Happy Mondays for me, the defining album of my youth

I hope the metallers turn out to vote because bad michael wanted me to drop some of the metal albums as nobody would vote for them.
Dont let Michael win!

Helios Creed just over Royal Trux and Pixies

My friend Goo goes... PU!

The Sundays vs Depeche Mode for me. 90's me would've definitely voted Sundays, but modern me has listened to Violator more frequently since then.

Paul Simon - The Rhythm Of The Saints. A top 10 record of mine ever since I first heard it sometime mid-90s. I loved hearing four songs from that album (possibly the most special songs even) on his farewell tour.

That Poison Idea record is very very good.

Own Lard, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, Prefab Sprout, Ride, The Chills, The Cocteau Twin, The Fall, The Fatima Mansions, The House of Love, The La's, They Might Be Giants, Uncle Tupelo

Going with Prefab Sprout but The Chills and The La's albums are right there with it. Also adore the Fatima Mansions, not too many of us around I expect.

poll says i voted already, pretty sure for i went for pod

In a garden in the house of love
Sitting lonely on a plastic chair

Great year, many acts peaking (Pixies on their way down though). I'd also put in a vote for Lush's Gala.

Tribe Called Quest
EPMD
Fugazi
Happy Mondays
Public Enemy
Ride
KLF

It probably should be PE, but I went with Fugazi because I saw them around this time (just after Rodney King video came out, and just before Gulf War I) and it changed my life.

Depeche Mode vs. The Fall is doing my head in at the moment. 🙃

Update: I eventually went with Extricate purely because I felt like enough people would be giving love to Violator. Y'all don't prove me wrong here.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

where's the metal fans itt?

I voted Rust in Peace.

Public Enemy or Pixies for me, can't decide right now

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

a tie!

Best Album on OUR Favourite Albums of......1991

Heh, who was the third person who voted for Redd Kross?

I thought Violator would win this didn't expect Cocteau Twins to joint win

I voted in this poll, but my favorite 1990 album is Unrest’s Kustom Karnal Backxploitation.

<3

I forgot to vote in this, probably would have gone Sundays.

Damn, missed this. Would have voted Jane's Addiction..
