Your Favorite Albums by Year: 1990-1999
I eventually want to cover most of the past 50-60 years, and I guess the 90s is as good a place to continue.
Formatting for the lazy:
1990 : Depeche Mode Violator
1991 : Basehead Play With Toys
1992 : Sublime 40 oz. to Freedom
1993 : Morphine Cure for Pain
1994 : Portishead Dummy
1995 : Oasis (What's the Story) Morning Glory
1996 : Beck Odelay
1997 : Radiohead OK Computer
1998 : Neutral Milk Hotel In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
1999 : Sigur Rσs Αgζtis Byrjun
This one was really tough.

1991 : U2 - Achtung, Baby
1992 : The Lemonheads - It's A Shame About Ray
1993 : Big Head Todd & The Monsters - Sister Sweetly - Tough call, a LOT of good music that year!
1994 : Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
1995 : Deep Blue Something - Home - Another very tough year to call.
1996 : Semisonic - Great Divide
1997 : Third Eye Blind - Third Eye Blind

Very difficult to choose some of these; personally, I think the '90s was the greatest decade for music.

I was almost going to go with STP - core, too. In fact, I want to change my vote to a tie. I agree with your last statement, too, except I'd swap '91 for '97. 1993 and 1995 were two completely exceptional years for music.
