How well do you know your 90s albums?

Anyone who remembers the 90s will remember the music. You could argue that other decades produced better music but few decades produced such an entertaining mix.

We’d go so far as to call it a golden age of music.



classic 90s albums

Think about it. You had grunge music killing off big-hair rock, a thriving indie scene and pop music that was drawing from all sorts of influences. Dance music would become part of the establishment and produce sub genres like house, trance, drum ‘n’ bass and more.

Meanwhile, rap music was maturing into what would become the dominant force in modern music and producing a whole new generation of hip-hop superstars. And metal music seemed to spawn a new sub-genre every couple of days back in the 90s.

As if that wasn’t enough, you had the Madchester scene and Britpop blowing up in the UK. Not to mention the emergence of musical offshoots like garage, trip-hop, industrial, rap-rock, neo-soul and more.
