Favorite Year Of The 1990's In Music

[TheWildAndTheYoung]

Since I did one for the 80's,I thought it would appropriate to make a 90's one to.Even though,I'd have to admit that I think the 90's was probably rock's most weakest decade (I hate Grunge).My favorite year was probably 1992.
Albums that I like in some form or another from this year:
Adrenalize-Def Leppard
Human Touch-Bruce Springsteen
The Wild Life-Slaughter
Night Of The Stormrider-Iced Earth
Fear Of The Dark-Iron Maiden
The Southern Harmony And Musical Companion-The Black Crowes
Revenge-Kiss
Hold Your Fire-FireHouse
Somewhere Far Beyond-Blind Guardian
Don't Tread-Damn Yankees
Dog Eat Dog-Warrant
America's Least Wanted-Ugly Kid Jow
III Sides To Every Story-Extreme
Keep The Faith-Bon Jovi

These kinds of threads would probably be better in general chat. But anyway... '94 was the peak for black metal, so I'm going with that.

Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger
Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas
Gorgoroth - Pentagram
Enslaved - Frost
Satyricon - The Shadowthrone
Rotting Christ - Non Serviam
Impaled Nazarene - Suomi Finland Perkele

Unfortunately by '94 death metal was on a downward trend, but there are still some good (and great) releases from that year.

Incantation - Mortal Throne of Nazarene
Cryptopsy - Blasphemy Made Flesh
Bolt Thrower - ...For Victory
Asphyx - Asphyx
Cannibal Corpse - The Bleeding
Septic Flesh - Mystic Places of Dawn

I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot of stuff.

'91 Death Metal.

I'm not prepared to provide a list right now, but it was damn good.

Off the top of my head I know Blessed Are The Sick, Effigy Of the Forgotten, and Necroticism - Descanting The Insalubrious came out that year, which are all in my Top 5. Plus Death's Human which is in my Top 10. And many more great albums.

I was considering '91 too. It's hard to decide!

Yeah in terms of death metal, 1991 is definitely the best. Including what you said there is also Unquestionable Presence (Atheist), Like an Ever Flowing Stream (Dismember), Mental Funeral (Autopsy), War Master (Bolt Thrower), and a bumch more.

Overall for me though, that's way too tough of a decision. Gonna have to think about that...

Yes, those are all great albums as well. Plus Gorguts' Considered Dead. It was an amazing year.

1990, for Painkiller alone.

[Ommie]

I think I might go for 1997, just based on how many personal favorites came from that year:

Radiohead - OK Computer
Foo Fighters - The Colour and the Shape
Shai Hulud - Hearts Once Nourished With Hope and Compassion
The Bouncing Souls - The Bouncing Souls
Björk - Homogenic
In Flames - Whoracle
Hatebreed - Satisfaction is the Death of Desire
The Dismemberment Plan - The Dismemberment Plan is Terrified
GY!BE - F#A# Infinity

Tough decision though.
