I'll name my top 5, you can list as many as you want...No real order but these 5 are my cream of the 90's crop
Tom Petty ~ WildflowersI broke up with a pretty serious girlfriend in 1996, I must have listened to this CD 200 times, it deals with loss of love, how crappy it makes you feel and how everything will be alright. Tom's guitar work is amazing and the classic video moment (weeks later Snoop Dogg was blanketing the airwaves
)
"So let me get to the point, lets roll another reaara"
Alice in Chains ~ Jar of FliesThis is an EP so there are only 7 songs on here and 1 is an instrumental. The 6 songs together though are some of the greatest songs I have ever heard, Layne's lament of spiraling into a hopeless addiction is very evident. Another CD I could listen to for hours and hours
Smashing Pumpkins ~ Siamese DreamOne of those discs that doesn't have a bad track on it from beginining to the end every song is just balls on solid rock. How it all lays out and blaneds from song to song is an amazing collection of art. That to me is one of the greatest parts about CD's too. This was a staple in the disc changers while playing thousands of games of Sega NHL Hockey. I abosuletly love this CD
Pearl Jam ~ No CodeNot everyone's favorite Pearl Jam CD, but it is mine. Kind of goes back to Siamese Dream, the first string of 6 songs are all amoungst my favorite PJ songs:
Sometimes
Hail, Hail
Who You Are (I wish they would still play this in concert)
In My Tree
Smile
Off He Goes
The B-Side of the Record is full of some great gems as well, a lot of fans hate this one, one of their worst sellers, I still remember lining up at Best Buy at midnight and listening to No Code all night long.
Soul Asylum ~ Grave Dancers UnionThis CD will always have a special place in my heart...a really special place
