Did a couple quick updates this weekend stemming from discussion of best albums of the 90s. In looking at it three interesting things jumped out to me:
- Seems like Beulah and Uncle Tupelo were my favorite bands of the 90s
- Top ten is too short when you have 484 albums. Many unbelievable albums were left off
- Only record label with two entries in top ten was Sire. A bit surprising.
Using my album formula, here are my favorite albums from the 90s:
1. Uncle Tupelo’s Anodyne (Sire) – 1993 – 9.883
2. Beulah’s When Your Heartstrings Break (Sugar Free) – 1999 – 9.877
3. Neutral Milk Hotel’s In the Aeroplane Over the Sea (Merge) – 1998 – 9.868
4. Beulah’s Handsome Western States (Cargo) – 1997 – 9.855
5. Uncle Tupelo’s Still Feel Gone (Gasatanka) – 1991 – 9.814
6. Dinosaur Jr.’s Green Mind (Sire) – 1991 – 9.805
7. Palace Brothers’ Viva Lost Blues (Drag City) – 1995 – 9.800
8. Uncle Tupelo’s March 16-20,1992 (Rockville) -1992 – 9.798
9. Pele’s Teaching the History of Teaching Geography (Star Star Stereo) – 1998 – 9.794
10. Pavement’s Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain (Matador) – 1994 – 9.784
