1994 in music. • Page 4

I'm not sure that Korn would even be in my top 15-20 and that's nothing to do with the quality of that record because I love it. It's just 1994.

 

Also, don't mind me - I'm just gonna be the guy in these threads for the next several years stanning for 311.

 

It’s insane to me that I was 7 when Ben Harper wrote “Forever”, “Walk Away”, and “Don’t Take That Attitude to Your Grave”. They seem so timeless to me

 

listen to Drive Like Jehu

 

Too much good this year. You could just do rap from this year and it would be LONG

1) biggie
2) nas (these are my two favorite rap albums of all time)
3) weezer

honorable mention
Morrissey

 

three albums incredibly close

 

1. Green Day - Dookie
2. Weezer - Blue
3. Oasis - Definitely Maybe


The craziest year

 

Totally wouldn't mind another week of listening to '94 lol

 

your wish might be granted, as i have to drive back home tomorrow. that good with everyone?

 

Yes

 

Perfect for me. ‘95 in the new year

Scarface - The Diariy
Method Man - Tical

Hole - Live Through This

 

This song still goes so hard. Actually the whole album is pretty solid front to back. Would call them a one-hit wonder, but Sponge definitely had 3-ish pretty successful rock radio hits.

 

haven't had any new votes in nearly a week so it seems safe to call it. Weezer's self-titled debut (The Blue Album) wins with 33 points. Nas' Illmatic and The Notorious B.I.G.'s Ready to Die rounded out the top 3, with 31 and 24, respectively.

1995 will go up before lunch, hopefully, tomorrow

 

Should have seen Weezer coming, but blah.

Looking forward to a new week.

 

i agree. i mean, it's probably a top 25 or so album for me, so I'm not mad, but there are more interesting choices from this year

 

I did listen to Illmatic for the first time last week, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I can completely see why it is considered a masterpiece of the genre!

 

It is the best hip hop release ever, and shouldn’t have lost to Weezer’s (maybe) 3rd best album

 

While true, at least it made the list, unlike Enter the Wu-Tang lol I blame myself partly

 

you contributed to it winning

 

Maybe 3rd best is a brilliant troll

 

Depends on my mood. Never first, sometimes also behind Maladroit

 

It deserves a top 3 spot!

1995 thread

 

As someone who was JUST starting to become conscious of alt-rock in late 93, 94 was really the first time I was truly engaged (though at a highly mainstream level as I listened to the Top 40/modern rock hybrid Z100 in NYC at the time). My favorite albums from 1994:

01) GREEN DAY - Dookie
02) NIRVANA - MTV Unplugged In New York
03) PEARL JAM - Vitalogy
04) NINE INCH NAILS - The Downward Spiral
05) WEEZER - Weezer
06) SMASHING PUMPKINS - Pisces Iscariot
07) STONE TEMPLE PILOTS - Purple
08) SOUNDGARDEN - Superunknown
09) THE OFFSPRING - Smash
10) OASIS - Definitely Maybe
11) BUSH - Sixteen Stone
12) LIVE - Throwing Copper
13) BAD RELIGION - Stranger Than Fiction
14) 311 - Grassroots
15) KORN - Korn
16) HOLE - Live Through This
17) OUR LADY PEACE - Naveed
18) SPONGE - Rotting Pinata
19) PORTISHEAD - Dummy
20) TORI AMOS - Under The Pink

Honorable mentions go out to Toadies, Dave Matthews Band, Collective Soul, Toad The Wet Sprocket, Blur, R.E.M, Rancid and Failure. A lot of these I didn't really engage with until 1995 (such as Sixteen Stone) or later in life (311, Our Lady Peace, Portishead) but, overall, this is what I was listening to as a 10-year old in 1994.
