[dholliday]

uff! what a time the 90's were for brit/irish guitar musik...what's the absolute number 1 long-player? If you prefer another 90's album from the same band then vote on the band and tell us your hipstery views.

oh yes coolio, they're from Dublin and Loveless is a 90's LP. Good shout.

 

[SerenityNigh]

Stone Roses?
*Oh, I see they were 1989

Didn't know if you meant full on rock (which most of them are)

 

[coollino]

Out of that list:

Suede (S/T is great too), Manics, Pulp, PJ Harvey (Rid of Me maybe).

Any album which generally comes under the Rock banner is acceptable. Even a metal album could fit but the only good ones I know from the 90's aren't Brits, they had their metal classics in the decades before.

Suede (S/T is great too), Manics, Pulp, PJ Harvey (Rid of Me maybe).

Polly Harvey's a Don. Big fan of her more modern work, especially A Woman A Man Walked By.

Too difficult to choose. That Elastica album was boss as was MSP's The Holy Bible. Mansun never got the credit they deserved for Six and OK Computer is a very good reason for Radiohead becoming one of the biggest bands in the world. As for Pulp I thought This Is Hardcore was a better album than Different Class.

I'll say "Other" though just so I can give a deserving mention to Super Furry Animals. Fuzzy Logic, Radiator and Guerilla were great albums albeit not entirely rock albums.

I may nominate Blur's "Blur", TCB's "Dig Your Own Hole" to this but from what we got, "OK Computer" is a killer.

Edit: Oh maybe Mogwai's "Young Team" too...

Six is my choice, Holy Bible & OK Computer just behind. We were really spoilt, weren't we?

One of my favourite albums of all time (how pounding is It Doesn't Matter??), but it's not a fit for the Rock banner. Underworld, Chem Bros & Prodigy were in their utter prime in the 90's, tho'. Brilliant timeless electronic music which still gets airplay from me.

Making me think of a Yank 90s list, some really good rock stuff then, really too many to choose from I think.

Some superb stuff there.

Hearing Deffo Maybe the very first time knocked my socks off. But Morning Glory is better imo. That said, Stanley Road does not have a weak note, let alone song, on it.

Spiders by Space.

That's be a great list...I was a big fan of the grunge-era stuff, tho' my all-time favourites are end-80's like Sister & Louder Than Love. For 90's I'd probably be torn between In Utero, Vitalogy & Divine Intervention.
