Favorite Year Of The 1990's In Music

[TheWildAndTheYoung]

1990 and 1991 where also really great years

[adamclark52]

Every year from the 1990's has something that I really enjoy, but specifically:
1991 - for all the death metal everyone's talking about
1994 - for all the black metal people have been talking about
1994 - for some really good mainstream releases from Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, Nine Inch Nails.
1999 - because I loved almost everything about that year (May + October thru December sucked)

The first half of the decade (90-94) was very plentyful. I'm gonna go 90' though as with the exception of black metal, it had a great balance of everything (but even with black metal we got Live In Liepzig).

Anthrax- Persistence Of Time
Bathory- Hammerheart
Deicide- Deicide
Entombed- Left Hand Path
Judas Priest- Painkiller
Kreator- Coma Of Souls
Megadeth- Rust In Peace
Obituary- Cause Of Death
Pantera- Cowboys From Hell
Slayer- Seasons In The Abyss

1996, easy and here's why:

Type O Negative - October Rust
In Flames - The Jester Race
Tool - Ænima
Marilyn Manson - Antichrist Superstar
Pantera - The Great Southern Trendkill
Carcass - Swansong
Hypocrisy - Abducted
Opeth - Morningrise
Cryptopsy - None So Vile
Acid Bath - Paegan Terrorism Tactics
My Dying Bride - Like Gods of the Sun
Cradle of Filth - Vempire
KoЯn - Life is Peachy

Some of these are the best albums that these bands have ever done in their whole career.

Yeah, 1996 was an awesome year too. I'd personally add Rage Against the Machine's 'Evil Empire' to the list. Probably a lot more too that I can't remember right now.

I hope you're not trolling with Life is Peachy on that list, I actually really love that album still.

Alice In Chains - Facelift

Black Sabbath - Tyr
Bruce Dickinson - Tattooed Millionaire
Dio - Lock Up The Wolves

Judas Priest - Painkiller
King Diamond - The Eye
Megadeth - Rust In Peace
Ozzy - Just Say Ozzy
Pantera - Cowboys From Hell
Public Enemy - Fear of a Black Planet
Scorpions - Crazy World
Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss
Testament - Souls of Black

Was going through release dates and I just realized that Crytopsy's "None So Vile" came out a month and a half after Cannibal Corpse's "Vile"

I'm with the '91 death metal people though.

1990-1994. Great albums from Carcass, Judas Priest, Metallica, Pantera, Sepultura, Testament, Death etc...
