Van Halen is the greatest in my book , always will be but I can't let that blind me to other great bands and albums . My choice for album of the 1990's is U2 Achtung Baby .

I could rattle on about how great it is but the only thing I can tell you is if you have not heard it , go out and get it . You can listen to this from start to finish . There is no scraps of fatty meat on this CD .

My top 3 90's CD's are
1.U2 :Achtung Baby
2.Creed :My Own Prison
3.Van Halen :Live RHRN
These are just my personal faves ......

Can't just do three...gotta go five.

1. "Balance" - Van Halen
2. "Images and Words" - Dream Theater
3. "Alchemy" - Yngwie Malmsteen
4. "Magica" - DIO
5. "Metallica (black)" - Metallica

Cool topic.

My top ones are:

FUCK-Van Halen
Ten-Pearl Jam
Auctuning Baby-U2

All I can think of right now, but those are the top 3 for now.

My favorites of the 90's are:
1.VH III(I don't care what you guys think,I love it and it has helped me writing my own stuff)
2.Extreme-Pornograffitti(this just fuckin' rocks! buy it immediatly while you wait for a Van Halen announcment)
3.Best Of Van Halen/The Ultimate Experience the Best of Jimi Hendrix- I think both of these are a good presetation for a regular person who wants to get into the band they have heard so much about......oh one more thing...Soundgarden "SuperUnknown" is great!

With the exception of one album I'm going to list, I thought the whole grunge thing was an awful mistake, any of those boring, depressed, half-assed Seattle grunge bands can kiss my ass. Those guys made being depressed a "cool" thing!

Stone Temple Pilots-Purple
Def Leppard-Euphoria
U2-Achtung Baby
Lenny Kravitz-Are You Gonna Go My Way
Van Halen-Balance
Rob Zombie-Hellbilly Deluxe

Oh yeah, Queensryche-Empire, can't believe I forgot that!

Vic, that last post was pretty depressing! Pass the Zoloft please... http://www.vhlinks.com/vhlforum/smilies/wink.gif

STP is rock, not grunge (IMO). And those guys are great, I don't care what the critics say...

"Seize the day/pull the trigger/drop the blade/and watch the rolling heads/yeah.."

Now, how is THAT depressing!?!? http://www.vhlinks.com/vhlforum/smilies/smile.gif

Being that I think the 90's were, by far, the WORST decade for music, this is what I came up with off the top of my head.

Van Halen - For UCK
Collective Soul - Dosage
Metallica - Metallica
Creed - My Own Prison
Matchbox 20 - Yourself or Someone like you (okay, so it's a pop album, but you have to admit, from a outside standpoint the thing was on the charts for like two freaking years before it was so overplayed we all wanted to scream)

"That's How it Is When You Tell the Truth"
Up Front Fanatic

My ones are :

-Van Halen ( van halenIII)
-Nirvana (nevermind)
-ozzy osbourne( no more tears )

nice to see so much appreciation for Achtung Baby.

it's my pick for album of the 90s, hands down. it covered so much ground and broke just as much new ground at the same time.

Van Halen's 90s releases were really good, but i can't honestly say that they elevated their game until the 3 new songs on Best Of.

Jagged Little pill is damn near perfect musically, but those whiny, yodeling vox ruin it IMO.

Not in order at all...

a)VH - Balance

b)Dada - Puzzle

c)Eric Johnson - Ah Via Musicom

d)Ozzy - Ozzmosis

e)Black Sabbath - Reunion

f)Gary Moore - Blues Alive

g)VH - BOV1

Rokgtar- God! I forgot! Thanks for reminding me. One more . . .


Eric Johnson- "A Via Musicom"


( I obsessed and overdosed on "Cliffs of Dover" the first time I heard it.)

1)Van Halen -- F.U.C.K.
2)Stone Temple Pilots -- Core
3)Wynton Marsalis -- The Midnight Blues
4)Van Halen -- Balance
5)John Mellencamp -- The Best that I Could Do
6)Stone Temple Pilots -- Purple
7)Bruce Springsteen -- Greatest Hits

Best albums of the 90's?

In no particular order:

Aerosmith-- Pump (well it was 1989)
Black Crowes-- Shake your Money Maker
VH- CGTSNM and MWM
VH- FUCK
GNR- Use your Illusions I and II
Lep-- Adrenalize and Euphoria

Van Halen- F.U.C.K.
Metallica- Black Album
Pearl Jam- Ten
A.I.C.- Dirt
Pearl Jam- Yield
