What is your quintessential 90's album?

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

Growing up in the 90's, the one album that represented my music tastes the best and that I still go back and listen to to this day would be Savage Garden's self-titled album.

This is so damn hard!

I can't choose between A Tribe Called Quest's first 3 albums for one. There's probably at least 20 albums I love I can't even think of. Ummm. Well, easy option, even though I don't listen to it now and prefer ANY other Nirvana album 'Nevermind' did change my life as a kid the first time I heard it.

[Wolf Kanno]

This is tough for me...

Not the popular Ace of Base album and it was late 90s but it is honestly my favorite album and was a mainstay in my music listening repertoire throughout high school.

57012

Course The Sign is a damn good album as well and nothing take me back quite like All That She Wants, Happy Nation, and Young and Proud.

I will second Savage Garden's selft titles album.

Also
57013

There are probably a few more but these four quickly spring to mind when I think about the 90s.

ehhhhhhh I was a youngin' who listened to a bunch of pop before 2000. :| Much as it shames me to say it, the Sabrina the Teenage Witch soundtrack is my 90's Shorty album.

Nothing Sabrina related can be shameful, Shorty!

[Shorty]

Just look at those artists, it's so bad xD

[Wolf Kanno]

Actually it is not a bad selection of artist. Though seeing which songs they are using would help.

[Shorty]

"Abracadabra" - Sugar Ray
"Hey, Mr. DJ (Keep Playin' This Song) (Radio Mix)" - Backstreet Boys
"One Way or Another" - Melissa Joan Hart
"Kate" - Ben Folds Five
"Show Me Love" (Radio edit) - Robyn
"Giddy Up" - 'N Sync
"Slam Dunk (Da Funk)" - Five
"Magnet & Steel" - Matthew Sweet
"So I Fall Again" - Phantom Planet
"I Know What Boys Like" - Pure Sugar

Ben Fold's Five is on there! That's actually decent.

But come on, that 'blah blah blah' song was great, and The Cardigans in general!

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

Well, Pike. I see you've mistakenly chosen the first Lion King soundtrack. Here's a picture for the objectively better choice :smug:

I'll have to remember this one for the next time I need something to put in an "unpopular opinions" thread.

Indeed a fine choice. This is a tough question. Yeesh.

This isn't the only one, but since Paul already covered Oasis.
