other great '90s albums
The lovely carsmilesteve suggested that as a bonus to the meme running around a day or so ago, we suggest ten albums missing from the list of the best of the '90s.  Some I'd have in my list of favourites (can't be bothered checking the dates, so sorry if I get any wrong):

Aaliyah - One In A Million
All Saints - All Saints
Arsonists - As The World Burns
Bomb The Bass - Unknown Territory
Betty Boo - Boomania
Boymerang - Balance Of The Force
Dave Clarke - Archive One
Destiny's Child - The Writing's On The Wall
Missy Elliott - Da Real World
Fall - The Infotainment Scan
Gang Starr - Moment Of Truth
Genius/GZA - Liquid Swords *
Genius/GZA - Beneath the Surface
Ghostface Killah - Ironman *
DJ Krust - Coded Language
Jonny L - Magnetic
Masta Ace - Sittin' On Chrome
Method Man - Tical
Mobb Deep - Hell On Earth
Willie Nelson - Teatro
Nicolette - Let No-One Live Rent Free In Your Head
Ol' Dirty Bastard - N***a Please
One Dove - Morning Dove White
Outkast - Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik
PM Dawn - Of the Heart, Of the Soul and of the Cross: The Utopian Experience *
Pet Shop Boys - Very *
Pulp - His 'n' Hers *
Q-Bert - Demolition Pumpkin Squeeze Musik
Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... *
Spice Girls - Spice *
TLC - Fanmail *
Underworld - Dubnobasswithmyheadman *
Underworld - Second Toughest in the Infants *
Underworld - Beaucoup Fish

* I am genuinely appalled that these are not among the 107 most highly-rated albums of the '90s. The total absence of Underworld is particularly shocking.

I imagine there's a lot of vote splitting with the Wu-tangs. Very good point about Destiny's Child, though!

My "I can't believe they didn't include" list is over here. Mine is all bleepy and squeaky.

This is off the top of my head, not in any particular order, with the middle of the decade pretty much missing; also missing are a whole lot of genres. I'm not sure I remember what all of these sound like, and I couldn't be bothered figuring out which are my ten favorites:

Midi, Maxi & Efti
Cypress Hill
Mariah Carey Emotions
Naughty By Nature
LL Cool J Mama Said Knock You Out
Everclear So Much For The Afterglow
Hole Celebrity Skin
Natacha Atlas Gedida
Arling & Cameron All-In
Turbonegro Apocalypse Dudes
Sheryl Crow The Globe Sessions
Caifanes El Silencio
Lisette Melendez Together Forever
Ruff Ryders Ryde Or Die
The Auteurs New Wave
Kid Rock Devil Without A Cause
Leftfield Rhythm & Stealth
Thomas Mapfumo Chamunorwa
Celine Dion Falling Into You
Trick Daddy www.thug.com
Seduction Nothing Matters Without Love
Kix Hot Wire

(I actually spent most of the decade listening to old Europop/Italodisco compilations out of Singapore that I pulled out of the 33-cent bins in Chinatown.)
