Album of The Year - Endgame

spreddy updated (you people DISGUST me that bon fucken jovi gets a guernsey when the likes of the triffids, hunters and collectors, go-betweens, and nick cave don't!)


i expect to be similarly disappointed when the likes of nick cave's "the good son", inxs' "x", the mark of cain's "the unclaimed prize", midnight oil's "blue sky mining", ratcat's "tingles (ep)", and underground lovers' "gets to notice" all fail to make the grade for y'all from 1990

Im well expecting that The La’s eponymous album gets marks from no one but me which makes me sad seeing as how great I think it is and how influential it went on to be on the music I was into in the later 90s!
 
My Favourite Albums from 1990:

1. Spirit of the West – Save this House
(Any Canadians who went to University in the 90s and don't have this album on their list are soul-less, Doug Ford supporting, Bay Street hosers.)



2. The Black Crowes – Shake Your Money Maker
3. John Zorn – Naked City (Arguably the best jazz album of the 90s)
4. Depeche Mode – Violator
5. Paul Simon – Rhythm of the Saints
6. A Tribe Called Quest – People’s Instinctive Travels…
7. Ride – Nowhere
8. Alice in Chains – Facelift
9. Fugazi – Repeater
10. Sonic Youth – Goo
11. Public Enemy – Fear of a Black Planet
12. Pantera – Cowboys From Hell
13. Cocteau Twins – Heaven or Las Vegas
14. The La’s – The La’s
15. AC/DC – The Razor’s Edge (This was #1 for me in 1990 when I was 12.)
16. Skinny Puppy – Too Dark Park
17. Uncle Tupelo – No Depression
18. John Scofield – Time on My Hands
19. The Pixies – Bossa Nova
