Other Recommendations

Whether for time reasons, or because I haven't actually acquired these albums yet, I didn't get a chance to review every great '90s album I know of. So here's a list of other recommendations if you're still unsatiated and craving for '90s music.

+R.E.M. - Out of Time (1991)
REM's breakout mainstream success

+Queen - Innuendo (1991)
The last album released before Freddie Mercury passed away

+Talk Talk - Laughing Stock (1991)
Proto-post-rock (!) and Talk Talk's second masterpiece album

+Dream Theater - Images and Words (1992)
Before they went off the deep-end trying to outplay each other, DT wrote a great batch of songs

+Ruins - Burning Stone (1992)
Japanese zeuhl band's best (in my opinion)

+Shakespear's Sister - Hormonally Yours (1992)
Edgy pop from ex-Bananarama member Siobhan Fahey

+Duran Duran - Self-Titled (The Wedding Album) (1993)
Duran Duran prove they aren't just '80s nostalgia

+John Wetton - Battle Lines (1994)
Well-crafted pop rock from the lead singer of Asia

+Marillion - Brave (1994)
Marillion's greatest album from the Steve Hogarth era

+Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Murder Ballads (1996)
An iconic Australian album

+Metallica - Load (1996)
Hard rock, heavy metal, and a dash of country

+Neil Finn - Try Whistling This (1998)
Crowded House leader's debut solo album

+Bondage Fruit - Bondage Fruit IV (1999)
Amazing surreal music from another Japanese zeuhl band

+Peter Gabriel - OVO (2000)
Technically 2000 is still the '90s. World music soundtrack for the Millennium Dome
