I don't agree with the actual placement of a lot of these but I just like being reminded how awesome the 90's were.

[Brandon]

CrazySexyCool is my personal favorite from the list.

[Tarry]

Out of all of those the only ones I own are Use Your Illusion I and II.

[Mutant Couch]

94. Billy Bragg and Wilco, Mermaid Avenue

Should be way higher. Also, where the hell is Murder Ballads? It was by far the best album of that decade.

[Burke]

6. Pearl Jam, Ten
26. Nas, Illmatic
34. Oasis, (What's the Story) Morning Glory?
36. A Tribe Called Quest, The Low End Theory
38. Soundgarden, Superunknown

Those are my favourites from the list.

There are some glaring omissions imo, including:

Alice In Chains - Facelift, Dirt & Alice In Chains (seriously, not one AIC album on a best of 90's list?!!)
Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger & Down On The Upside
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication
Pharcyde - Labcabincalifornia
2Pac - Me Against The World
