Personal
Favourite Nineties Records
Rather
than summarise the nineties albums onto one page, instead each
year will be represented individually, as it was the decade that
contains the majority of my record collection. The start of the
decade bore witness to the changing shift into a new era, when
the glam scene was either wiped out (Poison, Warrant), re-invented
their sound for the times (Bon Jovi, Motley Crue) or taken over
by reluctant artists (Pearl Jam, Nirvana). Those two bands pretty
much defined the Grunge scene, along with a new breed of dark
bands in Tool and Helmet causing a stir. The UK was also waking
up to Primal Scream and eventually Oasis by the time the mid-nineties
arrived. The half-way stage was quite a disappointing era as
metal was shunned by the media and Grunge's limited self-life
was reached. Post-Grunge started to dominate in Bush, Live and
Hootie and the Blowfish, an inferior second wave of bands all
told. Then the late nineties metal scene had a late surge of
popularity through Ozzy Osbourne's Ozfest and his travelling
Nu-Metal brigade. This very crude and brief history of nineties
rock is only scratching the surface of many wonderful albums
releasing throughout the decade, with My Bloody Valentine and
Sigur Ros turning out to be unexpected pleasures at each end
of the decade.
