The Best Album of the 90s

[AtariLegend]

In the best album of this decade thread half of the people who posted an answer named a 90s album. I realise this isn't because half the people who posted can't read, it's because inspite starting the rise of the current Pop culture we all now live in with lots of bad music in the charts and a lack of good original artists, the 90s also had many of the best albums we all own.

In magazines with countdowns of great albums more albums come from the 90s than any other decade, this isn't just because it's fresh in our minds, it's because it was a truly great decade for Albums.

So people what is your Favorite album from the 90s.

Only studio albums please, no soundtracks, collections, best ofs, remixes, or reissues.

Mine is "The Bends" by Radiohead.
