Bee OK, Thursday, 16 July 2015 01:42 (ten years ago)

Kaboom, what a list of albums. i could vote for so many of these albums. 1994 was a excellent year for albums.

Bee OK, Thursday, 16 July 2015 01:43 (ten years ago)

was going to take a break because of the Spoon poll but it's open for 10 days so i still can squeeze a few more of these out first.

Bee OK, Thursday, 16 July 2015 01:44 (ten years ago)

Man, that Jeff Buckly album is overpraised as hell.

Don't really want to vote for anything in this list after giving it the once over, but I guess I'll vote Vauxhall and I since it's the best Morrissey joint. Either that or CrazySexyCool.

Johnny Fever, Thursday, 16 July 2015 01:49 (ten years ago)

Man, that Jeff Buckly album is overpraised as hell.

Indeed.

austinato (Austin), Thursday, 16 July 2015 01:51 (ten years ago)

Live Through This is the one I played as an album. Great year for singles.

clemenza, Thursday, 16 July 2015 02:01 (ten years ago)

Inclined to vote Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain, although I play Mellow Gold as much and it was more influential on me personally.

Tom Violence, Thursday, 16 July 2015 02:11 (ten years ago)

NIN for me.

jmm, Thursday, 16 July 2015 02:13 (ten years ago)

First time I don't particularly love any of the albums listed - NiN and Beastie Boys are the only two I dig

1994 was a real great year for music of course. Snivilisation, Ruby Vroom, dubnobasswithmyheadman, the first Sea and Cake album, Chocolate and Cheese...ahem

frogbs, Thursday, 16 July 2015 02:14 (ten years ago)

Really like a lot of these but don't fully love very many. Will probably vote Mellow Gold (I dismissed 'Loser' as just another dumb, doofy single among the scores of dumb, doofy singles on alt radio back then, and was floored once I incidentally heard the album in a friend's car, and it's still an album I listen to fairly often) over Bee Thousand (great, but I think I might prefer Alien Lanes).

Something Called Fudge (Old Lunch), Thursday, 16 July 2015 02:32 (ten years ago)

Actually, I realize after a second perusal that do kinda love a lot of these.

Something Called Fudge (Old Lunch), Thursday, 16 July 2015 02:34 (ten years ago)

Again, like the 1993 list, there's about 8 or 9 albums that I could vote for here, but unlike the 1993 list, there's not really very many of those albums that I still find myself listening to these days. Looking over the list, 1994 feels like one of those years where I know I like a lot of what was released that year, but at the same time I don't feel an urge to listen to many of those records, whereas there's a lot of stuff on the 1993 list that I looked at and thought "shit, I wanna listen to that now". I just don't get the same feeling from a lot of these 1994 records, as great as I know they are. I'll have to give this some thought, because nothing really sticks out for me as something I should vote for without any hesitation.

You’re being too simplistic and you’re insulting my poor heart (Turrican), Thursday, 16 July 2015 02:46 (ten years ago)

Soundgarden. I don't play it much anymore but that record was a fucking monster in 1994

kornrulez6969, Thursday, 16 July 2015 02:54 (ten years ago)

Dummy.

that's not my post, Thursday, 16 July 2015 05:42 (ten years ago)

Welcome to Sky Valley

moans and feedback (Dinsdale), Thursday, 16 July 2015 06:51 (ten years ago)

ha, that is number 32, so close.

Bee OK, Thursday, 16 July 2015 07:08 (ten years ago)

Wow! Went for Biggy over Pavement because I expect Malkmus to win, anyway. Now it'll lose by one vote to Buckley, ugh. Ready to Die is proof that masterpieces can emerge from any subgenre, no matter how cynical IMHO.

Had no idea Korn was around in 94, always considered them a Late 90s incarnation (incl that album). The rich musical knowledge I absorb on this board.

Adam J Duncan, Thursday, 16 July 2015 07:21 (ten years ago)

Oops, *KoRN. Apologies all around, no disrespect intended. We cool?

Adam J Duncan, Thursday, 16 July 2015 07:27 (ten years ago)

i own all these on CD:

1 Jeff Buckley - Grace
2 Portishead - Dummy
3 Oasis - Definitely Maybe
4 Blur - Parklife
5 Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
6 Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
7 Nas - Illmatic
11 Soundgarden - Superunknown
12 Nirvana - MTV Unplugged in New York
13 Green Day - Dookie
14 Weezer - Weezer ("The Blue Album")
15 Johnny Cash - American Recordings
16 Beck - Mellow Gold
20 Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible
22 Suede - Dog Man Star
24 Built to Spill - There's Nothing Wrong with Love
25 Pearl Jam - Vitalogy
31 Neil Young and Crazy Horse - Sleeps with Angels

Bee OK, Thursday, 16 July 2015 15:03 (ten years ago)

i could still vote for about 1/3 of these.

Bee OK, Thursday, 16 July 2015 15:04 (ten years ago)

Dog Man Star is all time for me

niels, Thursday, 16 July 2015 15:13 (ten years ago)

disrespect? no not at all, it's just a list of albums. i just thought it was funny that the one you picked happened to be next.

Bee OK, Thursday, 16 July 2015 15:32 (ten years ago)

Really spoilt for choice here, this was a great year for albums. Illmatic narrowly over Bee Thousand. Also really really love Grace, Ready to Die, Crooked Rain, Weezer, Parklife, Definitely Maybe, Live Through This...

Gavin, Leeds, Thursday, 16 July 2015 15:36 (ten years ago)

Illmatic and Live Through This are the ones that have grown over time for me. Voted Nas.

campreverb, Thursday, 16 July 2015 16:07 (ten years ago)

Eventually settled for Parklife, although it's quite possibly one of the Blur albums I listen to the least.

You’re being too simplistic and you’re insulting my poor heart (Turrican), Thursday, 16 July 2015 16:54 (ten years ago)

among my favorite albums of all time:

2 68 Portishead - Dummy
6 191 Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
17 421 The Prodigy - Music for the Jilted Generation
19 553 TLC - CrazySexyCool
21 616 Massive Attack - Protection

I Am Curious (Dolezal) (DJP), Thursday, 16 July 2015 16:56 (ten years ago)

Also, as much as I like the band, this was the last year in popular music history that people weren't jizzing their pants over Radiohead. That'd all change the following year with The Bends.

You’re being too simplistic and you’re insulting my poor heart (Turrican), Thursday, 16 July 2015 17:07 (ten years ago)

to be fair, I don't think there's any way anyone could have predicted that Radiohead was capable of an album like The Bends, let alone any of the albums that followed (still not a fan of In Rainbows tho)

I Am Curious (Dolezal) (DJP), Thursday, 16 July 2015 17:08 (ten years ago)

GBV v BIG v Hole

geoffreyess, Thursday, 16 July 2015 18:57 (ten years ago)

the jeff buckley album is still great. who cares if its overpraised in some circles? its hardly got sgt peppers overpraise and most people in the real world havent heard it.

Eric Burdon & War, On Drugs (Cosmic Slop), Thursday, 16 July 2015 19:06 (ten years ago)

It's weird to me that ilx user Bee Ok doesnt own a copy of that GBV album

papa was a rolling stoner retro psych space thread (Drugs A. Money), Thursday, 16 July 2015 19:38 (ten years ago)

re: Buckley, yeah I might be just being reactionary due to him inspiring the OTT American Iconoclast smashing of Cohen mid-naughts -- too personal for me to distil taste. I'd be an awful critic. (Not to mention most of his catalogue was introduced to me by the worst kind of acoustic party-crashers in HS... y'all acquainted w/ that whiny whiteboy coochie coochie DMB soul voice)

Adam J Duncan, Friday, 17 July 2015 03:55 (ten years ago)

It's weird to me that ilx user Bee Ok doesnt own a copy of that GBV album

that makes sense because Bee 0k is 0 times Bee 1k </dadjokes>

got to vote Crooked Rain though at the time I would've voted for Jilted Generation or Superunknown (also the albums I had the biggest urge to revisit on seeing the list were Mellow Gold and, yep, Bee Thousand; have listened to CRCR so many times there's not much to revisit)

Abraham raves doubtlessly (a passing spacecadet), Friday, 17 July 2015 10:13 (ten years ago)

I think 1994 will forever be up there as my personal best year for music. Didn't hurt that I was 16.

the joke should be over once the kid is eaten. (chap), Friday, 17 July 2015 10:16 (ten years ago)

I voted for Dummy.

the joke should be over once the kid is eaten. (chap), Friday, 17 July 2015 10:16 (ten years ago)

Wait, I just realized that SAWII was released in '94. How on earth did that not make the top 30 (particularly when the first SAW made it into the '92 results)? Bakesale is missing, too!

Honorable mentions to other no-shows: Lush - Split, the other two Beck albums released this year, Stereolab - Mars Audiac Quintet, Luscious Jackson - Natural Ingredients, Sugar - File Under Easy Listening, Grant Lee Buffalo - Mighty Joe Moon, REM - Monster, Lisa Germano - Geek The Girl. Yeah, '94 was a good year.

I think my favorite from '94 might be Orb's Pomme Fritz EP.

Something Called Fudge (Old Lunch), Friday, 17 July 2015 13:46 (ten years ago)

so many good ones. this was the year i got properly turned on to album-oriented music, and what a year! went for the Prodigy. their last truly great piece of work.

(no offence to people) (dog latin), Friday, 17 July 2015 13:49 (ten years ago)

How on earth did that not make the top 30 (particularly when the first SAW made it into the '92 results)?

Well the first one is more significant and more accessible and probably more popular.

the joke should be over once the kid is eaten. (chap), Friday, 17 July 2015 16:19 (ten years ago)

I've never got into SAW II the way I have the first one anyhow.

the joke should be over once the kid is eaten. (chap), Friday, 17 July 2015 16:20 (ten years ago)

It's a bit of a shame that, Dummy aside, the top five is dominated by the more traddy rock offerings on the list.

the joke should be over once the kid is eaten. (chap), Friday, 17 July 2015 16:21 (ten years ago)

xxpost I've always been under the (perhaps mistaken, admittedly) impression that the exact opposite was true.

Something Called Fudge (Old Lunch), Friday, 17 July 2015 16:23 (ten years ago)

illmatic or dummy.

Van Horn Street, Friday, 17 July 2015 16:25 (ten years ago)

who is jeff buckley really

Van Horn Street, Friday, 17 July 2015 16:25 (ten years ago)

Portishead, Pavement, and nin are all solid picks here, leaning toward Portishead because there isn't a single off moment on that album, it's perfect through and through

too young for seapunk (Moodles), Friday, 17 July 2015 16:27 (ten years ago)

who is jeff buckley really

― Van Horn Street

Yeah very overrated in such company.

the joke should be over once the kid is eaten. (chap), Friday, 17 July 2015 16:29 (ten years ago)

As are Oasis, but that is always the case.

the joke should be over once the kid is eaten. (chap), Friday, 17 July 2015 16:30 (ten years ago)

Was gonna say, feeling embarrassed about Sarah McLachlan on the '93 list but not Oasis on this (and future) lists represents a particularly ugly mix of male privilege/privileging and rockism.

The New Gay Sadness (cryptosicko), Friday, 17 July 2015 16:44 (ten years ago)

(just to clarify, that post wasn't directed at calling out any particular poster. was just remembering a feeling revulsion at Sarah M that was expressed during the '93 poll)

haha, my user name comes from a Boo Radleys song called "Put Your Arms Around Me and Tell Me Everything's Going to Be OK."

Bee OK, Saturday, 18 July 2015 01:17 (ten years ago)

should still probably know that album however.

Bee OK, Saturday, 18 July 2015 01:17 (ten years ago)

Lots of good albums here but it's Dog Man Star for me by an absolute mile.

I was also 16 and, yeah, same. Either JSBX or Hole but probably the latter.

Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Saturday, 18 July 2015 01:33 (ten years ago)

I'll second Lush and Stereolab as honorable mentions. These would all be up there too.

The Divine Comedy - Promenade
Pulp - His 'n' Hers
Global Communication - 76:14
Jeru The Damaja - The Sun Rises In The East
Bark Psychosis - Hex
Saint Etienne - Tiger Bay

Kitchen Person, Saturday, 18 July 2015 01:37 (ten years ago)

Another member of the "16 In '94" club representin'. Music is probably always the best when you're 16, though.

Something Called Fudge (Old Lunch), Saturday, 18 July 2015 03:49 (ten years ago)

I was 16 in 1990, but prefer 1989, so....DEBUNKED

Johnny Fever, Saturday, 18 July 2015 03:53 (ten years ago)

I turned 16 in '02 and that year suuuuuuucked.

The Reverend, Saturday, 18 July 2015 04:00 (ten years ago)

I turned 16 in 1998 and I already felt like music had peaked for me. All my favorite albums were from 1996.

Tom Violence, Saturday, 18 July 2015 04:04 (ten years ago)

16 in 2001... can't say I'm the biggest post-grunge fan. Eminem, yeah I appreciate those albums now as art but that's not how they were consumed at the time. Easy to see why Radiohead were considered geniuses in that context... I remember conversations about how low rock had fallen that the mediocre Strokes and White Stripes were the new saviours (Unfortunately I was only acquainted with Outkast singles at the time, wish I'd bought their albums). There was great stuff coming out of course but nothing that spread across great swaths of our teenage tribes. Sad to say I was a bit of a defener.

Adam J Duncan, Saturday, 18 July 2015 04:17 (ten years ago)

Spent most of 94 listening to Crooked Rain Crooked Rain again and again and again and again. So much so that I almost can't really hear it anymore, and wonder whether I should vote for it. But of course I voted for it. Tempted by Bee Thousand but in the end that record is about the high points ("Echos Myron" for me) and doesn't stand together as a no-piece-can-be-missing whole like CRCR. And this is an album poll, not a sum-of-songs poll.

Guayaquil (eephus!), Saturday, 18 July 2015 04:35 (ten years ago)

The regrettable choice here, I think, is Nirvana unplugged -- and I still really like those Nirvana records, but at the time there was a sense that the acoustic version were more "real", more "direct," more "authentic," and that was what appealed. But in retrospect it seems absolutely clear that the album versions are the realest versions and I have no more need to hear these takes than I do the slow version of "Layla."

Guayaquil (eephus!), Saturday, 18 July 2015 04:36 (ten years ago)

normally i hate those unplugged things but the nirvana album actually works for me, it feels more like a genuine album than live stuff usually does. i think it helps that so much of it is just kurt covering his favorite songs.

(The Other) J.D. (J.D.), Saturday, 18 July 2015 04:43 (ten years ago)

Yeah say what you want about subsequent Grohl but relistening to Nevermind earlier this year it became apparent how vital his kick was to the band's drive. I found myself focusing in on the percussion as much as Be My Baby, seriously. Songs are still great in Unplugged, and the highs are stellar (Sleep) but yeah Nirvana was an oomph act

Adam J Duncan, Saturday, 18 July 2015 04:54 (ten years ago)

Oh yeah, Lisa Germano, Global Communication... a top 30 has never been so inadequate.

geoffreyess, Saturday, 18 July 2015 05:29 (ten years ago)

I was a teen from 2000-2007 and can't think of another era of popular music post-Beatles that means less to me. My 20s have been way better.

geoffreyess, Saturday, 18 July 2015 05:31 (ten years ago)

I stand corrected. I figured it was a 'the best era of SNL is the one that aired while you were in jr. high' kinda thing.

There have definitely been better years, but I don't think I've ever felt as intensely about music as I did when I was in high school.

Something Called Fudge (Old Lunch), Saturday, 18 July 2015 13:15 (ten years ago)

If I had to pick my least favourite year in music from the '90s, it would probably be 1998. In hindsight, there still some good to great records released that year, but at the time I remember feeling that it didn't really compare to 1993 up to 1997. The last two years of the '90s felt like a bit of a drop-off to me at the time.

I thought 2000 and 2001 were great and 2002 was a bit of a lull. 2003-2007 being my favourite period of the 00's. 2008 and 2009 probably my 2nd and 3rd least favourite years of that decade after 2002.

As for the current decade? Fuck knows, although 2013 has been my favourite year of the decade so far.

You’re being too simplistic and you’re insulting my poor heart (Turrican), Saturday, 18 July 2015 21:10 (ten years ago)

Hard to not pick Big or Nas, but this goes to Soundgarden.

Spottie, Sunday, 19 July 2015 04:41 (ten years ago)

Voted for NIN.

EveningStar (Sund4r), Sunday, 19 July 2015 05:08 (ten years ago)

I would vote Nas but once at the TGI Friday's in Penn Station an especially tedious friend of a friend sort of lectured me about how "life's a bitch and then you die / that's why we get high" was "pretty much his life philosophy." He said that he was a "very cynical person" but in a way that seemed like he was proud of it, like people who cared about stuff were deluded. This worldview is like kryptonite to me. I know that Nas is expressing nihilism borne of desperation and that the overall tenor of the album is tragic rather than cynical, but still, he inspired this guy.

Treeship, Sunday, 19 July 2015 05:24 (ten years ago)

but after nas, i don't know what i could vote for. i like pretty much all of these albums OK but i don't love any of them.

niels, Monday, 20 July 2015 13:27 (ten years ago)

after thinking about this for a few days, i decided upon Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain. will never forget the first time hearing it. there were about five of us driving from San Francisco to Los Angeles. my friend Mike said i have this CD by a California band called Pavement. he put this on, we were all blown away and i think we ended up playing it three times in a row.

Bee OK, Monday, 20 July 2015 15:16 (ten years ago)

i think it helps that so much of it is just kurt covering his favorite songs.

covers on incesticide > covers on unplugged

Guayaquil (eephus!), Monday, 20 July 2015 17:52 (ten years ago)

Nah, I disagree: Unplugged has 'Jesus Doesn't Want Me For A Sunbeam', a great version of 'The Man Who Sold The World', it also has 'Plateau' and 'Lake Of Fire' (which I vastly prefer to the Meat Puppets' originals by a million miles) and closes out with a great rendition of 'Where Did You Sleep Last Night?'

Incesticide has two Vaseline's covers: one excellent ('Son Of A Gun'), one decent ('Molly's Lips') and a not-so-hot Devo cover.

You’re being too simplistic and you’re insulting my poor heart (Turrican), Monday, 20 July 2015 18:08 (ten years ago)

^^^^this. Quite surprised not to find this here, as it's not only a great record but was also under the impression it was highly regarded amongst critics.

So it's Jeff Buckley for me which despite some naysayers here is fully deserving of any critical praise it gets.

Lee626, Monday, 20 July 2015 19:55 (ten years ago)

Grace had a hugely formative role of my musical life and still has a lot of sentimental importance to me but, even so, I can admit that it's maybe only about 2/3 great at best. Sketches... is roughly the same percentage of great (while simultaneously not as important to me and also a sign of the greatness he would likely have achieved).

Something Called Fudge (Old Lunch), Monday, 20 July 2015 20:13 (ten years ago)

role IN my musical life

Something Called Fudge (Old Lunch), Monday, 20 July 2015 20:13 (ten years ago)

I agree but that 2/3 is stunning. Really, if "Lover, You Should've Come Over" and "Last Goodbye" were the only great songs on it I still may have voted for it, they're that good.

Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Tuesday, 21 July 2015 01:08 (ten years ago)

I wouldn't say it's the best album here at all.

You’re being too simplistic and you’re insulting my poor heart (Turrican), Tuesday, 21 July 2015 01:10 (ten years ago)

ILM loves Pavement far more than I would've thought.

The New Gay Sadness (cryptosicko), Tuesday, 21 July 2015 01:41 (ten years ago)

Also, though its only like my 4th fave album on this list (I was one of the ten GbV voters), Protection remains underrated both in the voting here and in the band's discography.

The New Gay Sadness (cryptosicko), Tuesday, 21 July 2015 01:42 (ten years ago)

Protection is my favorite of theirs. It probably doesn't bear mentioning that I haven't heard Heligoland.
