Rolling Stone's top 10 albums of the 90's

[HK-47]

I was wondering where Pearl Jam's Ten was, and there it was.
But BlackStar totally added what was missing; Dr. Dre and the Wu-Tang Clan.

Replace eminem with hieroglyphics' third eye vision, add the pharcyde's bizarre ride ii somewhere, and bump low end theory to #1, and then we'll be talking.

have you seen...
#0 Ready to Die Notorious BIG

Another one from PDS although I first saw this a couple years back on Get Right Music. This one is MAJOR - it's what purportedly the original version of BIG's classic debut album, Ready to Die before sample clearances and Puff's more commercial vision [f-cked] changed it all up. Don't front though: BIG was great but he might've just been Kool G. Rap without Puff's creative and A&R input.

here's the Juicy instrumental from this album

On wikipedia, producer Pete Rock claims to have had the idea for this track stolen by Puff.

yeah, ready to die would've been my #1. If I'm walking out of the 90s carrying one album, this was it.

The only 90s album that came close for me was Incubus' Make Yourself. In voting 10 years after the fact, you'll lose some of the "feel" or authenticity of the period itself. I'd have put Jamiroquai's Travelling Without Moving on the list just because it was getting listened to far more than album x on the list.
