I didn't really start listening to stuff that I can still bear until I was 17 or so ('99) so I'm in the worst position of faintly remembering some stuff but not really being there with a developed set of faculties.
How many people here really did come of age in the '90s? Few, I should imagine.

i missed this thread... i haven't been here in a while. but i just had to represent with the other oldsters... i grew up in the 80s, graduated high school in 1992.
it's weird that Check Your Head isn't on the list. the beastie boys had the most amazing setlist on that tour. they refused to play anything from License to Ill, didn't even have a dj, just showed up with instruments and a keboard player and tore through a set that went back and forth between punk and funk, following a Minor Threat cover with a Sly and the Family Stone cover. also, although neither of them were good by any strech of the imagination that 12" Bikini Kill/Huggy Bear was so fucking influential it should have been on the list. but riot grrrl gets no love nowadays...
probably only floatingslowly would agree, but by far the most glaring omission: where's the industrial? i mean i know that by 1994 it had turned into crappy metal, but the glory days of electronic industrial...
1990:
meat beat manifesto - 99%
my life with the thrill kill kult - confessions of a knife
1991:
pigface - gub
front 242 - tyranny for you
1992:
frontline assembly - tactical neural implant
kmfdm - money
all six of these are flawless albums and far superior to anything Atari Teenage Riot ever turned out. just sayin....
