Try to to tell me tha that there's a better album recorded in the 90's than 'Maxinequaye' by Tricky and I'll tell you why you're wrong. Possibly without swearing.

I'm one of the people who was blamed for getting Paul Cook sacked. PM for the full post.

Gosh I’d forgotten about The Smashing Pumpkins and Radiohead. The Bends is a masterpiece!
I should also add Badmotorfinger by Soundgarden to the list!

Think that Badmoterfinger one of the most underrated albums of its time. That type of music wasn't really my type of thing, but think that album stood out in that genre. Will never forget coming back to a friends house in the early hours of the morning, tripping our tits off and seeing the very trippy Jesus Christ Pose on MTV. We all believed MTV knew what we were up to...

Actually forgot about this, absolutely loved this. Saw her live on this tour at the Adelphi in Hull and one of the best gigs I've been at.
The lovely and talented Polly Jane. Never seen her live but imagine she’d be pretty beguiling. I go through stages when I listen almost exclusively to her her and Nick Cave.
However, it "loses points" because then Tricky produced a load of old rubbish. I must have bought the next two, if not three, albums after Maxinquaye and they were dreadful.
I reckon that without this bloke, the album wouldn't have been all that, and he never worked on a Tricky album again:
So yes, great record, but (in my view) retrospectively altered by the fact that everything he did after it was poor, and the bloke himself seems a bit...not right.
A bit like the man who called himself Tricky's nephew - Finlay Quaye. One can certainly believe they're related.

Creation Records in the early 90s pre-Oasis were amazing. This album, Loveless by MBV, Bandwagonesque and basically every record TFC made for them, Screamadelica, Ride's first few albums and this underrated beauty

Give me Roast, Desert Storm or Exodus every time. Feck, even drum an bass night at Oscars would be preferable
There was this massive crossover between dance music and Indie music back then, I was in a couple of bands back then but we'd drop a couple of little fellas and go to Oscars for the drum and bass

Yes, definitely should have added Loveless, Bandwagonesque and Nowhere. Great roster - although never much of a Primal Scream fan - until Oasis came along.

Exactly, a few of us were into jungle/Drum n bass, others into indie, grunge even gabba. They would have come to roast etc and we would have gone an watched a lot if those bands. Would have seen everything from Nirvana, Levellers, Carter USM etc. Even managed a gabba night in the Institute of Goa at on point( not recommended)

Hands up, I don’t think I’ve heard it. But then I was never drunk in the 90s - def info.
Such a good decade though. The early through to mid-90s were stupendous. Grunge, Manchester indi, so much good stuff. The best work done by Stone Roses, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Faith No More, Alice in Chains, etc. Metal was still going strong. Dance music in full flow. A top, top decade. A hundred times better than the 80s, which for some reason still attracts plaudits. Most mainstream/pop music in the 80s was bland fluffy crap.
Well I'm gonna firstly say that its impossible to pick any great albums that override the others, so the first choice (but by no means first place obv) albums from that decade for me would be...
Guns N' Roses - Use Your Illusion I & II
I'd also throw in
The Levellers - Levelling The Land

If you took the best tracks from both Use your Illusions and put them together on one record it would be one of the best hard rock records of all time!
