Look forward to seeing all your picks for each year of the 90s! 1990 is an interesting year that I am sure could use a deeper dive for me. Cocteau Twins, Judas Priest, Sonic Youth and Pixies would make my list.
Excellent list! I'll have to listen to that Entombed album, and explore Swedish death metal. Would have to do a deeper dive to come up with a top 10, but both Public Enemy and Depeche Mode are 5 star albums for me, and most likely in my top 5. I also really enjoyed the albums by The Pixies, Cocteau Twins, Alice In Chains, Sonic Youth and Megadeth. A couple of those are in contention for my top 10, and they all would most likely be in my top 25. I do know that my number one album would be I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got by Sinead O'Connor.
