Album of The Year - Endgame

Joe Mac said:
Not so much for me but I was just teasing ya. There are definitely bands missing that I loved in that decade too. Nirvana top off the back two studio albums does seem weird to me though.

3 albums. Blur and PJ were the only ones with more 90s albums. So a combination of less releases and more artists getting a high scoring album and not getting any other votes made the 90s the lowest scoring decade. Nirvanas 57 points wouldn't of won any other decade

It is the number of lists it is on and how it is ranked. So if 10 people ranked it number 1 vs say Blur getting on 15 different list but never higher than 10th, then Nirvana most likely would still have more 'points'

I feel almost single-handedly responsible for Talk Talk's position on this list and it makes me proud
 
I would have put Dino Jr in the 90’s and then put Depeche Mode in their 80’s spot.
And really DM should be in the 90’s as well. Violator was huge.

I know I’m being a technical a-hole but it’s just Beastie Boys. 🤪

Interesting. The only ones that look low to me are the bands with few albums, but a huge influence on popular music (Joy Division, My Bloody Valentine, and Big Star). They're hard to rank in any list, so its not surprising.
