90-s without Nirvana would have been completely different.Crushing angst here meets unforgettable arrangements, true sincerity meets critical and commercial acclaim.Generation-defining record,no less.

Nick Cave can be very different music-wise indeed, but here he struck real gold. What a poetry! What an intimate (as if he sings to you directly) delivery! He recorded more, but never bettered this.

An equivalent of harsh, aggressive, no-compomise-esque musical beating by those who seemed to be nice fellas playing stadium rock. Not an album. A grandiose monument that still casts a long shadow.

So you'd say where's The Fat Of The Land?Well, IMHO this is way better a dance album,which a)is not overplayed to death;b)it's fun fun fun.Exceptional debut,still sounding fresh and excessively joyful

OK,so Kurt Cobain listened to it before his suicide,but,hey,everybody hurts sometimes.R.E.M. at their most straightforward,melodic & touching.The band's last chef-d'oeuvre so far,however hard they try

Refined pop-music from the duo who once took an active part in shaping its contemporary form. Their last great record until today, but, hey, it's not over /not over /not over /yet :)

This isn't a great ambient album,as many say.Nor it's a wallpaper music that features more sonic textures than is routinely used in genre.Rather it's a stunning landmark in its own kind.Beware.

Debut was near perfect,yet this was the weightiest, most tendinous CD Suede ever produced.The songs,only New Generation aside,ooze yearning,urban desperation & bleak romanticism.Creative peak, a must.

FM-rock, you say? Well, look a little further than Mr.Jones,and you'll find drumly,yet hugely grasping record that vagely recalls,for instance, Springsteen, but creates its own unique world. Timeless.

Samples.Lots of them.Yet,put together, they sound not only organic, but almightily miraculous.There wasn't a record so unique back then,although come 21 century The Avalanches will prolong its legacy,

Quintessential britpop album that entered music history with grandiosity of The Beatles or The Velvets.Working class anthems aimed at mass audience worked as no-holds-barred bombs.Live forever indeed.

A chill out CD, you say, you gotta be kidding?! No, I'm not. It's a rare beast indeed - smooth and excessively pleasant, but solid at core and elaborately recorded.Relaxing of soul rarely gets better.
