<--- had to google Temple of the Dog.

 

[ukalum01]

I stand by my take. Weezer Blue is #1.

I don’t think it‘s #1 but it doesn’t have a skippable track.

 

[UKwizard]

Points deducted for nothing in the song Ironic being actually ironic. Unless it was meant to be ironic writing a song called Ironic with nothing ironic in it which probably would give her too much credit. Go Cats.

 

[Bonzo_Cat]

The Black Album
Doggystyle
Ten
Nevermind
The Chronic

All five albums came out in the first 3 years of the decade, can be played stem-to-stern, soup-to-nuts and set the tone for how rap and rock were going to sound with a plethora of imitators to close out the century.

 

[krazykats]

I could never hear the first 3 songs on that Weezer album and be fine, but if that is your thing I’d say I could skip less songs on the Hootie and the Blowfish album[eyeroll]

If we aren’t talking about separating genre’s then Tupac All eyez on me or Biggie Life after Death it is, IMO.

Commercial numbers or not, those 2 albums stand up.

[anthonys735]

Illmatic, Ready to Die, Me Against the World, Doggystyle, Enter the Wu Tang, Reasonable Doubt.

 

[VernHatton52]

The Chronic hasn't held up well over time. Dre is an awful rapper. Doggystyle, otoh, is timeless.

 

[VernHatton52]

E. 1999 Eternal, as previously discussed.

 

[catsfanbgky]

NBA success is irrelevant to their UK career IMHO. Ulis isn't an NBA star because he's 5-9 with limited explosiveness. With the possible exception of John Wall, nobody has ever outperformed Tyler Ulis as a college point guard his second year at UK.

Duh, that is because Wall nor Fox made it to a second year at UK, be kind of hard to out play him in year 2. (J/K)

 

[anthonys735]

The Chronic hasn't held up well over time. Dre is an awful rapper. Doggystyle, otoh, is timeless.

I completely agree. It's still way up there in my heart because of the timing, significance in my childhood, and what it did for rap but others are better.

 

[krazykats]

Love all those rap albums, and they all could arguably stand up as 1 or 1a as well........but the double album was always a holy **** moment, and then to not have to skip a song at all was just unreal.

JMO

Leaving UGK Ridin dirty off that list is just sad.

 

[Wrong]

I’ll say it again, Dave Matthews did and still sucks. All “jam” bands for that matter.

 

[krazykats]

How about Bush? I remember really liking that album.

 

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

No Jane's Addiction, no care.

 

[Wynn Duffy 69]

However, in retrospect, Pavement is my band of the 90s.

The wife of Pavement’s drummer was the assistant cook at my frat house. She had hairy armpits and burned heaters in the kitchen while cooking, but she was cool. Think she just did it for the university sponsored health insurance. And the drugs we sold her.

 

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

The loose collaboration; The Hit Squad is the best hip hop of all time. Everyone/thing else is competing for second.

(and Das EFX was the best of that group

 

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

Screaming Trees should have hit bigger. I thought, when they were on, they rivaled Soundgarden.

 

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

Lightening in a bottle, but the album Budspawn by Wool was pretty spectacular. (circa 1992)

 

[WayneDougan_rivals170043]

Screaming Trees should have hit bigger. I thought, when they were on, they rivaled Soundgarden.

Lead singer had a great voice.

 

[rudd1]

-love screaming trees. Mark Lanagan did some work with qotsa...and his solo stuff is pretty good.

 

[legalbeagle123]

Jar of Flies is Top 10 imo.

 

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

She had hairy armpits and burned heaters in the kitchen while cooking, but she was cool.

I "came up" in the 70's and that's a little too hirsute for even me.

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

The Chronic gave us the $20 Sack Pyramid. For that I will always be thankful.

 

[catsfanbgky]

it's metaironic - and brilliantly so.

 

[legalbeagle123]

Ron Mercer had a cool-*** "All Eyez on Me" front license plate on his ride. He'd swing by regularly to bang one of my neighbors at University Commons.

 

[80 Proof]

Most of my favorites from the 90s have been covered except for Stone Temple Pilots. Weiland had a cannon of a voice. Too bad he couldnt kick the sauce, because their sound holds up very well IMO.


Fridee 5 STP edition.

Tripping On A Hole In A Paper Heart
Interstate Love Song
Plush
Vasoline
Big Bang Baby

Bonus track: Lady Picture Show

Not nearly as cool as the tattoo he had of a ball going through the net. String music in Lex-ing-ton K-Y. Banging your neighbor is cool, though.

 

[Wynn Duffy 69]

I’d say I could skip less songs on the Hootie and the Blowfish album[eyeroll]

I won significant money at a trivia night several years back because I could correctly identify Hootie’s second album - Fairweather Johnson.

And let me tell you - that album was a turd.

 

[krazykats]

I said, “the”, but fair weather johnson sounds gay, right boat?

 

[Kooky Kats_anon]

Saw Action Bronson today at my local park... dude lost a ton of weight.

 

[wcc31]

Sitting here 25 years later, 41 with a wife, baby, golden retriever and two adopted alley cats, my now Top 5 hip-hop songs of the 90s are:

1. Juicy
2. Notorious Thugs
3. Tha Crossroads
4. Player’s Ball
5. Troublesome ‘96

 

[wcc31]

What college football coach’s style would be most similar to yours if you were on the sideline? Me- I’d go with the Urban Meyer pullover windbreaker.

 

[krazykats]

[laughing] By style I thought you meant “coaching style” and then clothes came into the fold.

Bill Belichik

 

[Wynn Duffy 69]

Like I’d go to Kroger(s) - pressed khakis, blue oxford, sleeves rolled, penny loafers, Power K cap.

Edit: sorry Chad, that didn’t actually answer your question. I believe the coach in question is “Coach *******.”

 

[joeyrupption]

Kliff Kingsbury (w/revised home TV location).

 

[CSC81]

Rack Bonz. Shewee. Nice work.

 

[DoubleSecretProbation]

Big fan of the fried egg sandwich. Suitable for all three meals and a late night snack. Toast, (salt risen if you got it) fried egg, a double egg if you’re feeling frisky, three half slices of bacon and heavy on the mayo. I’ll consider an argument for cheese but I think the purist take is no cheese. Glass of milk.

mmmmmm.
