These are my 5 best albums of the nineties:
5. Radiohead’s OK Computer. I only put this album on here because I have heard how amazing it is and I guess I will believe the hype.
That is why it is no.4 and not no.1. This is supposed to be the best album of the nineties according to most lists, even better than Nevrmind, it must be freaking awesome.
4. Matchbox Twenty’s Yourslef or Someone Like You. This album sold 12 million copies in the USA and everysong is amazing, Rob Thomas is the greatest songwriter of his generation. It’s sales were pushed by hit singles Push and
“3 AM”.
3. Oasis’s Definitely Maybe is my no.3. I am a massive Oasis fan and this album is no.3 because it’s songs are great beacause of their rythm and they should be considered heavy metal for god’s sakes. From the catchy tune of “Rock n’ Roll Star” and the (should be called) heavy metal riffs of “Supersonic” and “Cigarettes and Alcohol” to the thoughtful lyrics and touching melody of “Live Forever”, this album isn’t to be leftout.
2. My no.2 is Red Hot Chili Pepper’s Blood Sugar Sex Magic. A mouthful isn’t it, well it is also a mouthful of funk and party rock that sold 12 million copies worldwide. You won’t stop jumping from start to finish except for when “Under the Bridge” starts playing.
1. Oasis’s (Whats the Story) Morning Glory? is no.1. It sold over 20 million albums worldwide and 4 million in the USA alone showcasing Oasis at it’s peak. When this album was released Noel Gallagher was classed as the
songwriter of the day. With his skills and Liam Gallaghers very slightly husky but perfect voice these two brothers make this album unforgettable. Alan White was their drummer at the time and does an excellent job at driving the songs, I’m not surprised he is so sought after as a studio drummer. This album went 14x platinum in the UK thanks to the single’s Roll With It, Some Might Say and Wonderwall. Three of Oasis’s chart topping singles are on this album. Absoluelty amazing.
