I was going to ask what 5 years had the most albums come out that are your favorite, but I think it will end up turning into my new question anyway.
What 5 year period had tons of quality albums that kind of define you as a music love now? What 5 years was it and what albums were released that you love?
I’ll start.
Mine was 1990-1995.
In those years, the following albums were relased, all amazing:
**
Alice in Chains - Facelift **(the first grunge album I heard)
**Nirvana - Nevermind **(classic grunge)
Alice in Chains - Dirt (their best album and one of my favorites)
Pearl Jam - Ten (again, amazing)
Stone Temple Pilots - Core (loved it)
**Stone Temple Pilots - Purple **(their best album)
**Nirvana - In Utero **(in many ways, better than Nevermind)
Alice in Chains - Jar of Flies (love it)
Pearl Jam - Vitalogy ( never loved Vs., but this is their best)
Alice in Chains - Self-titled/Tripod(the last great album released in my 5 year experience)
**KMFDM - Nihil **(one of the best “industrial” albums ever)
**Nine Inch Nails - Downward Spiral **(Trent Reznor’s only masterpiece)
Basically, you can see that for those 5 years, I was actually into the music that was selling well and was targeted at my age. I went from 7th Grade - 12th Grade in those years and even today, I realize that those albums were all great.
I’d even take these albums over the Beatles run from 1962-1967 or so. Seriously.
What 5 years defined you? What 5 years had the highest quality of music to you?
I never liked Soundgarden, by the way.
