The wait is over. At long last, this poll will determine the best album of the mid-'90s mainstream alternative rock boom.
Rationale for my picks:
- released between the years 1992 and 1995
- featured a track (or two, or ten) that got at least a moderate amount of play on alt-rock radio in the US and/or MTV's late-night alternative music programming
- holds up surprisingly-well after the passage of a couple decades
- meets a set of nebulous criteria that resides solely in my brain and defies explanation and exists mostly to induce exasperation with respect to my obvious oversights and preposterous inclusions
