   Don’t take this list very seriously; it’s just another Top 50 like any other. So don’t be bothered if you don’t find your favourite albums; just look at it, and give it a chance.
   All these lists look pretty much the same. You’re all going to find the same albums everywhere so this selection tries to be at least something different. Besides the typical classics (what “Best of the 90s List” would be if there’s no Nirvana’s Nevermind?), you’ll find some underrated albums (First Band on the Moon by The Cardigans), and some records that are not necessarily the best of their decade but deserve some recognition.
   This so-called list also follows some rules. The first and more obvious one is that all the albums must have been released in the 90s. You should know that I consider this decade from 1991 to 2000 (since when the number tens starts at zero and finished at nine?). Also, only one record per artist was permitted (with the only exception of Radiohead that had two distinctive creations). Having that rule, some great albums were left out to give space to some forgotten albums by the same artist or band.
   Before you enter, there are some lists below where you can see some albums (that I liked or not) that were not included for diverse reasons.
  
Sorry... Better Luck Next Time
Favorites
Some critics' favorites you'll find in any other list except this one. They're not there because they just missed a spot, because I replace with some other interesting album or maybe, becuase I don't like them.
Dig your Own Hole - The Chemical Brothers :: In the Aeroplane over the Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel :: Slanted and Enchated - Pavement :: Ten - Pearl Jam :: Exile in Guyville - Liz Phair :: Screamadelica - Primal Scream :: Different Class - Pulp :: Either / Or - Elliott Smith :: Maxinquaye - Tricky ::

Repeated
The rule was one album per artist. So, lots of excellent records were left out. These are one of them.
Debut - Bjork :: Rid of Me - PJ Harvey :: Everything Must Go - Manic Street Preachers :: Blue Lines - Massive Attack :: Definitely Maybe - Oasis :: Dummy - Portishead :: The Bends - Radiohead :: Out of Time - R.E.M. :: Siamese Dreams - Smashing Pumpkins

Rap
I don't like rap. I'm sorry but I don't. So this list is for the rap lovers that won't find any rap albums in the list. Sorry.
