Man I miss the 90's so much great music. This might be my favorite video that you have ever done. I love your book stuff, but I knew we synced on a lot of your musical tastes!
THIS!! This video right here is what I've been yearning for. I turned 15 in 1990, and I remember almost all of these as I grew up. Great list, Mike!! Thank you!
I’m 40 now but I have a brother who is 4 years older so pretty much all of your picks were what we were listening to at the time - great video, glad STP got some love
Great List. I would have Hole's Live Through This #1 of '94. Radiohead's OK Computer #1 '97 (probably the decade too, just a smidgen above Nevermind). #1 of '92 Tom Waits Bone Machine. Random greats: My Bloody Valentine Loveless, Blur Parklife, Fiona Apple Tidal, Fugazi Repeater, The Rollins Band Weight. Liz Phair Exile in Guyville.
Lots of albums I loved and just didn't mention due to not wanting this episode to be 3 hours long. Hole and Radiohead definitely got play time in my stereo
Great list, sir! I know we jammed many of these albums together during the second half of the 90s. Wish we could have sat down and sorted through these together just for some great conversation/memories. You know I agree with 90% of this, and while I’m sure you had to narrow it down, I’m somewhat surprised you didn’t discuss the following… Silverchair - Frogstomp or Freak Show Pearl Jam - Vs. Stone Temple Pilots - Purple Creed - My Own Prison Goo Goo Dolls - Boy Named Goo or Dizzy Up the Girl Garbage - self titled White Zombie - Astro Creep 2000 Staind - Dysfunction Metallica - Load/Reload U2 - Achtung Baby Had a blast watching! Can’t wait for more music lists.
Neat video. I worked at Savers during the summer and I did see people buying CDs there, so you’re definitely right on that point. I would like to see a ranking of all the Stephen King adaptations you’ve seen. That would be a very interesting video.
Great entry Mike! I was born in 79 so I obviously relate to these picks... you'll have to keep in mind that I grew up in Des Moines IA going to high school with the guys from slipknot so I was way disappointed they didn't make the cut but hey, I listened to nothing but the Grateful Dead the last few years of the 90s😁 so I naturally like the 1st 5 years here! Can't blame you for having nevermind as #1 for but for me it's blood sugar sex magic by a mile. Also man, you forgot to mention janes addiction nothings shocking!!! That's a classic, every song is a hit! Anyway bud, love your videos... hey I know you're about to review movies & series.... you gotta cover peaky blinders.. by far my favorite modern streaming series!
You got some balls putting a Limp Bizkit album on this list haha. I liked them back then as well. Seems like everyone did, but now we gotta mock them and pretend we never like them. Same with Creed as well. EVERYONE loved Creed back then.
I don't let things like "I can't believe I ever listened to that" deter me with a list like this. It was huge then and I have a trip whenever I go back and revisit it.
Absolutely love this new segment Mike. Many of my favorites are on this list. Personally, Use Your Illusions and Significant Others are my 2 favorites of the decade. This is my generation and love it.Godsmack is one of the greatest shows I have ever attended. Great list.
My youth/teens in a nutshell. So many good albums in that decade. Listen to Undertow /Aenima the most and those would be my favorites, but LOVE about 75% of the albums listed and still listen to them all on the regular.
Counting Crows August and everything after was one of my favorites. And as good as Nevermind was I think 1989’s GnR appetite for destruction was the best album of our generation
August and Everything After by Counting Crows is one of the best from the decade, and the debut from Third Eye Blind was also stacked. Bringing Down the Horse is really good, I am glad I bought that one a few years back. And I do like me some Creed even if Weathered was the one I grew up with.
Thank you Mike. I'm 73 and my music from the sixties and seventies was the best ever. There wasn't much after that that really got me. Wait - I really liked several of the albums that you picked. There was good music in the nineties. My favorite of the decade was: Nirvana Nevermind and close behind Jagged Little Pill. I was really impressed by your enthusiasm for the music you grew up with. Of course, I still play my records from the late sixties and early seventies, but I do have CDs as well. They aren't quite as good as real albums that have so much more artwork and information than CDs. I would be very interested in hearing your picks for the sixties and seventies. You have a love of music that is very similar to what I felt when I was younger, however, we cherished radio, especially FM, that would play our music, sometimes whole albums, and you could listen to DJs who were keyed into our music and played what they wanted. It wasn't as corporate back then. Thanks again for an enjoyable hour and listen to some Uriah Heep, Steppenwolf, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Canned Heat in addition to all the other great music from that time.
judas priest with painkiller is one of my all time favorites from them. also Dream Theater is a great band that really got going in the 90's. an underrated favorite from the 90's was Anglagard. very cool and unique prog rock band.
I choked on my tea when you said what you did about Spoonman. I love Soundgarden, I really do, but I hope I never hear that song again. What's worse is that for some reason, my husband though it was my favorite Soundgarden song and proudly gave me a t-shirt with it on it. This is a great list. I love your love for some of the lesser appreciated groups like Collective Soul and Live, who many people dismissed as just another pop group. I'd probably add Jane’s Addiction's Ritual De Lo Habitual and Beastie Boys' Ill Communication (I consider them to be a rock band that raps, but I can see where people might not). I was surprised to not see any Radiohead on your list, but then maybe it's my imagination but it feels like there is a dividing line between those who really love Tool and those who really love Radiohead.
I liked Radiohead, just no one album as much as the ones I listed. And Spoonman was maybe the 7th or 8th best song on that album. No clue why it got so much run.
Personally, being a classic rock and metalhead, my heart is deeply entrenched in the 70s and 80s and did not really care for the direction that rock and metal took in the 90s. But that’s just me, to each their own. That being said there were still some gems throughout that decade. These are my favorite albums from each year: 1990 - Painkiller by Judas Priest (Rust in Peace by Megadeth is a very close second) 1991 - Innuendo by Queen 1992 - Somewhere Far Beyond by Blind Guardian 1993 - Bastards by Motörhead 1994 - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas by Mayhem 1995 - Symbolic by Death 1996 - The Dark Saga by Iced Earth 1997 - Unleash the Beast by Saxon 1998 - The Sound of Perseverance by Death 1999 - At the Heart of Winter by Immortal Still love this video here, Mike, and can’t wait to see you do more of the same thing throughout other decades and other topics!
Although I was more into the 90’s hip hop, the first time I saw a video for Anthrax’s song Room for One More I instantly became addicted to the band and HAD to buy and listen to more from them. Sound of White Noise is my fav from them with Attack of the Killer B’s second. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!🎤
Such a great video. Aerosmith Get A Grip was my first CD I bought with my own money and I played it out. By the time I got into high school, I got into Marilyn Manson. Started with Smells Like Children, and by the time I got Antichrist Superstar, my taste in music took a turn towards the dark and heavier. Coal Chamber, Korn, and Rammstein soon followed 🤯
First CD I ever had was User Illusion I and II from Guns N' Roses. To me, this was the best because I was so varied. It had a love ballard and a heavy metal thrash song and everything all in between. Second place is Meatloaf Bat Out of Hell II Bat out of Hell II was a great album. So many singable songs. I agree. Wallflowers had a great album. Love all the songs on the album
Indeed, the Illusion albums were like The Beatles White Album in that damn near every song was something different and couldn't be bound to any singular genre.
From the top of my head, some of 90s albums that I really like (and coincidently feel like they are often overlooked) are Helloween’s The Time of The Oath; Gamma Ray’s Land of the Free; Ayreon’s The Final Experiment; Blind Guardian’s Nightfall in Middle-Earth; Ten’s The Name of the Rose; Children of Bodom’s Hatebreeder; Royal Hunt’s Land of Broken Hearts (in 2000s they released an album based on Bradbury’s Martian Chronicles); Scorpions’ Crazy World; Judas Priest’s Painkiller… and I’m off to listen to all of that now. By the way, a lot of albums I mentioned are kinda fantasy/science fiction oriented
Great list! Love almost all of these albums. Some I would have included: Radiohead - OK Computer (???????????) Jeff Buckley - Grace Radiohead - The Bends Mad Season - Above Slowdive - Souvlaki (If you could call it rock, which you should if you consider Daft Punk rock) Soundgarden - BadMotorFinger
Man! Listening to your early 1990s picks and I'm feeling like we had the same play lists. LOVE Vulgar display, Angel Dust, RATM, SO much good stuff. People who don't like the Black Album are wrong. GREAT album. DIRT is one of my top 5 best ever too.
For the first few I felt like this was a list of all the stuff I missed out on (all that played in my house was country for far too long). But then I started to hear stuff I treasured when I started buying my own music. Columbia House and BMG music club sent me lots of these. That Wallflowers album was great, very underrated, I didn't skip a track. Hot take, I never could stand Billy Corgan's vocals.
I actually have Excel spreadsheets from my radio days breaking down years: So here is my actual album year with my fave , what I consider, rock album of that year. 1990: Obituary - 'Cause of Death' (death), Sonic Youth - 'Goo' 1991: Morbid Angel - 'Blessed are the Sick'' (death), Guns N Roses - 'Use Your Illusion' 1992: Faith No More - 'Angel Dust', Rollins Band - 'The End of Silence' 1993: Sepultura - 'Chaos A.D.' (thrash), The Wildhearts - 'Earth vs.' 1994: Korn - 'Korn' (nu metal), 'Green Day - 'Dookie' 1995: Fear Factory - 'Demanufacture' (industrial), Ani Difranco - 'Not A Pretty Girl' 1996: Marilyn Manson - 'Antichrist Superstar' (industrial), Beck - 'Odelay' 1997: Strapping Young Lad - 'City' (industrial) , Idiot Flesh - 'Fancy' 1998: 16 Volt - 'Supercoolnothing' (industrial), The Gathering - 'How to Measure a Planet' 1999: Opeth - 'Still Life' (death) , Clutch - 'Jam Room' overall: Strapping Young Lad - 'City', Faith No More - 'Angel Dust'
Wow! 16 Volt!! Its really awesome to see them being mentioned. You are a real one! 16 volt, Chemlab, Diatribe and BILE were kinda overshadowed in all the NIN hype.
@@auburn_and_cordsdude7415 It was sad that as far as the 'mainstream', industrial really didn't get beyond NIN and Trent Reznor adjacent stuff for most part. I discovered Wax Trax, TVT, and Nettwork record labels in the waning days of high school which would move on to Reconstruction, Metropolis, and other labels through the years. COP International was based out of the bay area so the bands from that label or played on their comps would play here a bit besides the local bands. I was lucky enough to grow up in the SF bay area so got to see so many different scenes from metal to hip-hop grow and blossom. I am lucky enough to say saw each of the big four of thrash in small clubs. Not saying I was too cool for NIN but 'Pretty Hate' wasn't as special when you had multiple albums from the likes of Skinny Puppy, Frontline Assembly, Ministry, Foetus, and others you'd been jamming to already. Those music video's and Lollapalooza worked like they were suppose to.
@@discostew1374 I did too. Just realized cause of your post that 'Goo' is one of the releases in my trifecta club of having bought on cassette, CD, and vinyl.
1990 ACDC - The Razor's Edge Depeche Mode - Violator The Black Crowes - Shake Your Money Maker Megadeath - Holy Wars 1991 Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magic Pearl Jam - Ten Ozzy Osbourne - No More Tears Guns N Roses - Use Your Illusion I & II Metallica - The Black Album Nirvana - Nevermind 1992 Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power Ministry - Psalm 69 Rage Against the Machine - Rage Against the Machine Faith No More - Angel Dust White Zombie - La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Vol. 1 Soul Asylum - Grave Dancers Union Stone Temple Pilots - Core Alice in Chains - Dirt 1993 Nirvana - In Utero Tool - Undertow Candlebox - Candlebox Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream Anthrax - Sound of White Noise Aerosmith - Get a Grip Meatloaf - Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell 1994 Nine Inch Nails - Downward Spiral Weezer - Blue Album Dave Matthews Band - Under the Table and Dreaming Green Day - Dookie Offspring - Smash Bush - Sixteen Stone Soundgarden - Superunknown Live - Throwning Copper 1995 Collective Soul - Collective Soul No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom Oasis - (What's the Story) Morning Glory?

I was pleasantly surprised to see Marilyn Manson and NIИ featured on your list. I’m curious about how you feel about “Mechanical Animals” by Marilyn Manson. I’ve heard from people who were teenagers when it was released that it was considered a sellout album and people were made fun of for liking it. I find that interesting because it’s now generally regarded to be one of his best albums, if not his best. My favourites from each year: 1990: N/A 1991: “Hey Stoopid” by Alice Cooper, “Nevermind” by Nirvana 1992: “That What Is Not” by Public Image Ltd., “ΚΕΦΑΛΗΞΘ” by Ministry 1993: N/A 1994: “Portrait Of An American Family” by Marilyn Manson, “The Downward Spiral” by NIИ 1995: “Herzeleid” by Rammstein, “1. Outside (The Nathan Adler Diaries: A Hyper Cycle)” by David Bowie 1996: “Antichrist Superstar” by Marilyn Manson, “Load” by Metallica 1997: “Sehnsucht” by Rammstein, “Earthling” by David Bowie 1998: “Mechanical Animals” by Marilyn Manson, “Hellbilly Deluxe” by Rob Zombie 1999: “The Fragile” by NIИ, “Metropolis, Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory” by Dream Theater Top 5: 1. “The Fragile” by NIИ 2. “Mechanical Animals” by Marilyn Manson 3. “Herzeleid” by Rammstein 4. “That What Is Not” by Public Image Ltd. 5. “Metropolis, Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory” by Dream Theater
Mechanical Animals was a pretty big disappointment for me but more because AS was just perfect and I wanted him to expand upon that sound. But over time it has grown on me. Rock is Dead is an amazing track.
Loved this video Mike… I’m a couple years younger than you but this brought back great memories and I need to go revisit some music now! My only disagreement is with one of your comments about RATM…the self titled album was infinitely better than Evil Empire!
Sad But True and The God That Failed have to be my favorite songs on the Black Album. Metallica is what got me into Metal, and their darker sound is just so satisfying.
got to say, I'm of your generation, and I despised Nirvana at the time, but I was more of the pop sound of the 80's. At the time, some of the music of that decade did stick with me, but I really didn't get into rock music until my college years. You would love my sister, though. She's 6 years younger than me, but a lot of your favorite albums were hers as well. She worshipped Nirvana
Great video. You just reminded me of lots of great records. I would have added for the 1990 year, Painkiller by Judas Priest I loved also NIN, Korn and Manson in the 90's ( still do, NIN not so much) Antichrist Superstar its a masterpiece i used to lisgen to that record 3 times a day when it came out
I like hearing Mike talk music. This should happen more often.
Several i would replace with these:
Satchel-The family
Nada Surf- high/low
Mindfunk-dropped
Kerbdog-kerbdog
Superheaven-jar
Soak-flywatt
Days of the new- days of the new
Oleander-February son
Sponge- Rotting pinata
Silverchair- Frogstomp
Megadeth- Countdown to extinction
Send no flowers- Juice
Mad Season- Above
Man I miss the 90's so much great music. This might be my favorite video that you have ever done. I love your book stuff, but I knew we synced on a lot of your musical tastes!
I'm glad you liked it!
Hi Mike. Really good video. I got a really nostalgic feeling from this video.
90s music is my favorite. What a great time it was.
Indeed. Happy you enjoyed it!
THIS!! This video right here is what I've been yearning for. I turned 15 in 1990, and I remember almost all of these as I grew up. Great list, Mike!! Thank you!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching.
1997-1999 was my go to years, even though the entire decade was home to me
Fantastic video! I was born in 95 but I love listening to 90's throwbacks!!!
And I love hearing that
I’m 40 now but I have a brother who is 4 years older so pretty much all of your picks were what we were listening to at the time - great video, glad STP got some love
STP was really great the entire decade
Great List. I would have Hole's Live Through This #1 of '94. Radiohead's OK Computer #1 '97 (probably the decade too, just a smidgen above Nevermind). #1 of '92 Tom Waits Bone Machine. Random greats: My Bloody Valentine Loveless, Blur Parklife, Fiona Apple Tidal, Fugazi Repeater, The Rollins Band Weight. Liz Phair Exile in Guyville.
Lots of albums I loved and just didn't mention due to not wanting this episode to be 3 hours long. Hole and Radiohead definitely got play time in my stereo
Very happy to find your second Channel. This is a great list. So much nostalgia!
Thanks for checking it out!
I graduated high school in 1994 and this was such a trip down memory lane for me!!
Happy to provide an escape
I love nevermind my mother bought me the album when I was 14 years old I loved listening whenever I had the chance 💝
Great list, sir! I know we jammed many of these albums together during the second half of the 90s. Wish we could have sat down and sorted through these together just for some great conversation/memories. You know I agree with 90% of this, and while I’m sure you had to narrow it down, I’m somewhat surprised you didn’t discuss the following…
Silverchair - Frogstomp or Freak Show
Pearl Jam - Vs.
Stone Temple Pilots - Purple
Creed - My Own Prison
Goo Goo Dolls - Boy Named Goo or Dizzy Up the Girl
Garbage - self titled
White Zombie - Astro Creep 2000
Staind - Dysfunction
Metallica - Load/Reload
U2 - Achtung Baby
Had a blast watching! Can’t wait for more music lists.
Thanks for watching, my friend! Astro Creep is probably my most painful omission. I wore that album out.
Neat video. I worked at Savers during the summer and I did see people buying CDs there, so you’re definitely right on that point.
I would like to see a ranking of all the Stephen King adaptations you’ve seen. That would be a very interesting video.
I'm sure we will see some King stuff over there, too
Great entry Mike! I was born in 79 so I obviously relate to these picks... you'll have to keep in mind that I grew up in Des Moines IA going to high school with the guys from slipknot so I was way disappointed they didn't make the cut but hey, I listened to nothing but the Grateful Dead the last few years of the 90s😁 so I naturally like the 1st 5 years here!

That's a classic, every song is a hit! Anyway bud, love your videos... hey I know you're about to review movies & series.... you gotta cover peaky blinders.. by far my favorite modern streaming series!
I wanted to mention so much more but didn't want the video to be 3 hours long ha ha
1994 - Kyuss / Welcome to Sky Valley
You got some balls putting a Limp Bizkit album on this list haha. I liked them back then as well. Seems like everyone did, but now we gotta mock them and pretend we never like them. Same with Creed as well. EVERYONE loved Creed back then.
I've always like Creed's first album, after that not so much. Always hated Limp Bizkit though, even back then.
I don't let things like "I can't believe I ever listened to that" deter me with a list like this. It was huge then and I have a trip whenever I go back and revisit it.
If I went through my cd library I would get stuck there listening for days! Great idea!
Absolutely love this new segment Mike. Many of my favorites are on this list. Personally, Use Your Illusions and Significant Others are my 2 favorites of the decade. This is my generation and love it.Godsmack is one of the greatest shows I have ever attended. Great list.
So glad you enjoyed it!
Terrific list dude!. Such a fun video.
Thanks for watching!
My youth/teens in a nutshell. So many good albums in that decade. Listen to Undertow /Aenima the most and those would be my favorites, but LOVE about 75% of the albums listed and still listen to them all on the regular.
Always a fun rabbithole to fall down
Counting Crows August and everything after was one of my favorites. And as good as Nevermind was I think 1989’s GnR appetite for destruction was the best album of our generation
For sure. But my 80’s video would be nine hours long.
I really feel the need to make a mixtape now. Well, a Spotify playlist anyway.
I support this decision
Great segment, I was born in 1990 so didn't have the same experiences, but is definitely a favourite of mine in terms of decades of music.
I wasn't born in the 60's and The Beatles are my fave, so I get it
I love this channel just as much as your original one Mike! Keep it up man!
August and Everything After by Counting Crows is one of the best from the decade, and the debut from Third Eye Blind was also stacked.
Bringing Down the Horse is really good, I am glad I bought that one a few years back. And I do like me some Creed even if Weathered was the one I grew up with.
I know it makes me a leper but I was never a big CC fan. Just wasn't nuts about his voice.
The 90s had some bangers: The Black Album is probably my all timer which expanded my brain into the ravenous metal head I am
That was a lot of pop rock fans awakening to hard rock and metal.
Thank you Mike. I'm 73 and my music from the sixties and seventies was the best ever. There wasn't much after that that really got me. Wait - I really liked several of the albums that you picked. There was good music in the nineties. My favorite of the decade was: Nirvana Nevermind and close behind Jagged Little Pill. I was really impressed by your enthusiasm for the music you grew up with.

Thanks again for an enjoyable hour and listen to some Uriah Heep, Steppenwolf, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Canned Heat in addition to all the other great music from that time.
Funny, because guitar rock of the 1970's is my favorite subgenre of rock.
Glad to see along the razors edge!!! Love AC/DC when did ballbreaker drop? That might have been 2000 which would exclude it
I think Ballbreaker was 1996 or so. They were still supporting it when I saw them live in 1998
My favourite from this list is Ænima!
Good choice!
judas priest with painkiller is one of my all time favorites from them. also Dream Theater is a great band that really got going in the 90's.
an underrated favorite from the 90's was Anglagard. very cool and unique prog rock band.

1996 - The Dark Saga by Iced Earth
1997 - Unleash the Beast by Saxon
1998 - The Sound of Perseverance by Death
1999 - At the Heart of Winter by Immortal
Still love this video here, Mike, and can’t wait to see you do more of the same thing throughout other decades and other topics!
No, I 100% get it. I was just of that age. Kind of how I consider when rock went emo is when it all went downhill.
Although I was more into the 90’s hip hop, the first time I saw a video for Anthrax’s song Room for One More I instantly became addicted to the band and HAD to buy and listen to more from them. Sound of White Noise is my fav from them with Attack of the Killer B’s second.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane!🎤
You continue to be awesome. I feel like the only person that listened to that album sometimes.
Such a great video. Aerosmith Get A Grip was my first CD I bought with my own money and I played it out. By the time I got into high school, I got into Marilyn Manson. Started with Smells Like Children, and by the time I got Antichrist Superstar, my taste in music took a turn towards the dark and heavier. Coal Chamber, Korn, and Rammstein soon followed 🤯
Man, I still love Rammstein.
Most of the albums you mentioned, I own and cherish.
This is the way
First CD I ever had was User Illusion I and II from Guns N' Roses. To me, this was the best because I was so varied. It had a love ballard and a heavy metal thrash song and everything all in between. Second place is Meatloaf Bat Out of Hell II
Bat out of Hell II was a great album. So many singable songs.
I agree. Wallflowers had a great album. Love all the songs on the album
Indeed, the Illusion albums were like The Beatles White Album in that damn near every song was something different and couldn't be bound to any singular genre.
Dirt! Boom, atta kid. Love it
Gonna end up a big ol' pile of them bones
From the top of my head, some of 90s albums that I really like (and coincidently feel like they are often overlooked) are Helloween’s The Time of The Oath; Gamma Ray’s Land of the Free; Ayreon’s The Final Experiment; Blind Guardian’s Nightfall in Middle-Earth; Ten’s The Name of the Rose; Children of Bodom’s Hatebreeder; Royal Hunt’s Land of Broken Hearts (in 2000s they released an album based on Bradbury’s Martian Chronicles); Scorpions’ Crazy World; Judas Priest’s Painkiller… and I’m off to listen to all of that now.
By the way, a lot of albums I mentioned are kinda fantasy/science fiction oriented
UYL 2 is easily one of my top albums of all time. Saw them live back in 2019 and was easily one of the best experiences of my life.
Yeah, we went to the reunion show and it blew us away
Hi Mike, love your work ! Are you planning to do this video for another decade ?
Of course!
Great list! Love almost all of these albums.
Some I would have included:
Radiohead - OK Computer (???????????)
Jeff Buckley - Grace
Radiohead - The Bends
Mad Season - Above
Slowdive - Souvlaki (If you could call it rock, which you should if you consider Daft Punk rock)
Soundgarden - BadMotorFinger
Man! Listening to your early 1990s picks and I'm feeling like we had the same play lists. LOVE Vulgar display, Angel Dust, RATM, SO much good stuff. People who don't like the Black Album are wrong. GREAT album. DIRT is one of my top 5 best ever too.
Sooo good!
Thanks for watching!
I like the hair metal 80's and Eddie Trunk's radio shows.
Eddie Trunk is great
Soundgarden getting snubbed in ‘91!
Yeah, great album but not one I'd call better than the ones I listed
For the first few I felt like this was a list of all the stuff I missed out on (all that played in my house was country for far too long). But then I started to hear stuff I treasured when I started buying my own music. Columbia House and BMG music club sent me lots of these. That Wallflowers album was great, very underrated, I didn't skip a track. Hot take, I never could stand Billy Corgan's vocals.
Oh man, I forgot about the "12 CD's for 1 penny!" clubs
Nirvana is so good!
Do you know Dizzy Miss Lizzy Mike? It was a sensation wit their debut album in 94. Great Danish rockband.
I’ve heard a few
Mike great video
Thanks!

1992: Faith No More - 'Angel Dust', Rollins Band - 'The End of Silence'
1993: Sepultura - 'Chaos A.D.' (thrash), The Wildhearts - 'Earth vs.'
1994: Korn - 'Korn' (nu metal), 'Green Day - 'Dookie'
1995: Fear Factory - 'Demanufacture' (industrial), Ani Difranco - 'Not A Pretty Girl'
1996: Marilyn Manson - 'Antichrist Superstar' (industrial), Beck - 'Odelay'

Wow! 16 Volt!! Its really awesome to see them being mentioned. You are a real one!
16 volt, Chemlab, Diatribe and BILE were kinda overshadowed in all the NIN hype.
@@auburn_and_cordsdude7415 It was sad that as far as the 'mainstream', industrial really didn't get beyond NIN and Trent Reznor adjacent stuff for most part.
I discovered Wax Trax, TVT, and Nettwork record labels in the waning days of high school which would move on to Reconstruction, Metropolis, and other labels through the years.
COP International was based out of the bay area so the bands from that label or played on their comps would play here a bit besides the local bands.
I was lucky enough to grow up in the SF bay area so got to see so many different scenes from metal to hip-hop grow and blossom. I am lucky enough to say saw each of the big four of thrash in small clubs.
Not saying I was too cool for NIN but 'Pretty Hate' wasn't as special when you had multiple albums from the likes of Skinny Puppy, Frontline Assembly, Ministry, Foetus, and others you'd been jamming to already. Those music video's and Lollapalooza worked like they were suppose to.
@@briteskin thank you for your response, it captures an era really well.
Goo is such a good album! I even bought it on vinyl recently!
@@discostew1374 I did too. Just realized cause of your post that 'Goo' is one of the releases in my trifecta club of having bought on cassette, CD, and vinyl.
I still buy CDs and rip to FLAC, because I refuse to pay for lossy MP3 music.
This is the Way.
My eyes instantly looked for and found DIRT

I was pleasantly surprised to see Marilyn Manson and NIИ featured on your list. I’m curious about how you feel about “Mechanical Animals” by Marilyn Manson. I’ve heard from people who were teenagers when it was released that it was considered a sellout album and people were made fun of for liking it. I find that interesting because it’s now generally regarded to be one of his best albums, if not his best.
My favourites from each year:
1990: N/A
1991: “Hey Stoopid” by Alice Cooper, “Nevermind” by Nirvana
1992: “That What Is Not” by Public Image Ltd., “ΚΕΦΑΛΗΞΘ” by Ministry
1993: N/A
1994: “Portrait Of An American Family” by Marilyn Manson, “The Downward Spiral” by NIИ
1995: “Herzeleid” by Rammstein, “1. Outside (The Nathan Adler Diaries: A Hyper Cycle)” by David Bowie
1996: “Antichrist Superstar” by Marilyn Manson, “Load” by Metallica
1997: “Sehnsucht” by Rammstein, “Earthling” by David Bowie
1998: “Mechanical Animals” by Marilyn Manson, “Hellbilly Deluxe” by Rob Zombie
1999: “The Fragile” by NIИ, “Metropolis, Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory” by Dream Theater
Top 5:
1. “The Fragile” by NIИ
2. “Mechanical Animals” by Marilyn Manson
3. “Herzeleid” by Rammstein
4. “That What Is Not” by Public Image Ltd.
5. “Metropolis, Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory” by Dream Theater
Mechanical Animals was a pretty big disappointment for me but more because AS was just perfect and I wanted him to expand upon that sound. But over time it has grown on me. Rock is Dead is an amazing track.
Loved this video Mike… I’m a couple years younger than you but this brought back great memories and I need to go revisit some music now! My only disagreement is with one of your comments about RATM…the self titled album was infinitely better than Evil Empire!
I could go either way on that one. Both RATM albums kill.
Hey Mike, speaking of Red Hot chili peppers, have you read scar tissue by Anthony kiedis? It's his autobiography it's really fantastic!
I haven't but I do love rock biographies
I love the song buddy holly and the music video 😊
Creed, fun to make fun of, but also fun to listen to! Great lists Mike! How do you feel about Queens of the Stone Age?
Only listened to their 1st album but I liked it okay
Get yourself a good CD player. You won’t regret it. Streaming is great but there is something lovely about putting a disc in a player.
Sad But True and The God That Failed have to be my favorite songs on the Black Album. Metallica is what got me into Metal, and their darker sound is just so satisfying.
Not a bad song on The Black Album.
got to say, I'm of your generation, and I despised Nirvana at the time, but I was more of the pop sound of the 80's. At the time, some of the music of that decade did stick with me, but I really didn't get into rock music until my college years. You would love my sister, though. She's 6 years younger than me, but a lot of your favorite albums were hers as well. She worshipped Nirvana
I've met many folks today who say they weren't into Nirvana and I get it
Great video. You just reminded me of lots of great records. I would have added for the 1990 year, Painkiller by Judas Priest
I loved also NIN, Korn and Manson in the 90's ( still do, NIN not so much)
Antichrist Superstar its a masterpiece i used to lisgen to that record 3 times a day when it came out
Man, I listened to that Manson album so much it literally got scratches from being played non-stop ha ha
@@mikesmediareviews3925
I forgot to add the best part of the video
" hey kids these are compact discs" hahaha
I still have tapes & 2 walkmans
To me the 90s is the dry period of my life. Only bright side, the release of Korn and Nightwish. Even though Nightwish was still finding its style.
I didn't discover Nightwish until the early 2000s
Dammit Mike! You keep making me buy stuff! 😢
I'm a fan of nine inch nails love there music
pretty decent list. I love Dirt & Ken Griffey Jr
go Phillies
Respect
Thanks for watching!
Radiohead?
Liked them, but never an album I'd consider better than the ones I listed
Have you heard Loveless by My Bloody Valentine?
I listened to some of them when they were new.
Human clay was a solid album
I think so
No Korn for 1994?!
Not above any of the albums I listed for that year
Oasis were such a great band I highly doubt that they will ever get back together
In Utero is a better album than Nevermind. Grohls drums sound like goddamn thunder on In Utero
The drum work is 100% better. In Bloom was about the only Nevermind song where he was a standout.
Sorry I had to pause you video and listen to some tunes!!
This is a normal reaction 🤘
Live is like Tool...light
Cee Deez!!
I see what you did there.
High school
Was forever ago
Siamese Dream>Mellon Collie
I can see that
