This was my reply and I didn't even read the thread first Moose!
Great minds think alike😃

I first heard this album all the way through around Senior year of high school
Most of us were metal fans but the 'Grunge' sound seemed really cool
I was flirting with a journalism college student at a local house party and somebody brought the CD to play...

At a certain point I felt like Journalism Girl was talking down to me so I asked 'Yeah, but what are you really going to do when you grow up?' lol...I didn't get that phone number:)
Shortly after that debacle my ex-girlfriend showed up with her brother and his irritating goon squad...I had recently banged up her Renault Alliance and a couple of the goons with a metal softball bat

I slipped out the back door to escape a jumping but I never forgot Nirvana👍

Rock is a very wide genre, from Rage Againts the Machine to Eric Clapton to Nirvana.

For me though, the greatest 90s rock album would be Bon Jovi - Cross Road.

Because I never got bored of the songs. Even today, most of the songs keep on rocking. And it cannot be replicated today. Hair rock / hair metal era is gone and done. It was great but it won't come back anytime soon.

But if it includes all time, not only 90s albums, I would choose G'nR - Appetite for Destruction.

I just can't do this - there's too many (great problem to have though).

The Use Your Illusion albums, which probably should count as one album in two parts....

i would probably put my bloody valentine's loveless at the top of my list.

it's one of the few post 70s guitar records that sounds new & innovative to me. and it's a great listen from start to finish.

a few others that have to be in the mix for me:

lucinda williams - car wheels on a gravel road
bob dylan - time out of mind
tortoise - millions now living will never die
yo la tengo - painful
belle and sebastian - if you're feeling sinister

Oh probably Metallica's Black album. That's what really obliterated the barrier between rock and metal and ushered in a whole new era of Hot Topic culture.
