Best Album of 1994

[Lex Diamonds]

Is it Illmatic or Definitely Maybe? Is it possible to compare the two fairly?

[Planetary]

i was already thinkin illmatic before i saw the choices, but i ddint anticipate one fo them being a groundbreaking indie record. so i can't really say.

[Lyman Zerga]

definitely..illmatic!

[Kid Presentable]

I'd say Definitely Maybe, and Ill Communication would be third for me.

[jabumbo]

i thought FOR SURE that everyone was going to answer with "dookie"

[AceFace]

i'm gonna have to say Weezer's Blue Album was the best of the year.

but the releases that got most play for me were the Weezer, Ill Communication, Mighty Mighty Bosstones' Question the Answers and Bouncing Souls' The Good The Bad and the Argyle.

i only remember all of this b/c that was the year i graduated high school. :)

[Lyman Zerga]

i thought there was only 2 choices

[AceFace]

clearly that's just not enough. :p

of those two, Definitely Maybe. but those weren't the best of the year, in my opinion. so there, attitude. :p

Music For A Jilted Generation

[HEIRESS]

Twice Removed (http://www.amazon.com/Twice-Removed-Sloan/dp/B00000IBBD) was the best album released in 1994

its probably only one of about 10 albums that I enjoy listening to from start to finish over and over.

"coax me", "loosens", "deeper than beauty" and "snowsuit sound" are my standout tracks

seriously, go buy it.

[Lex Diamonds]

Sorry you people but there are only two choices. Definitely Maybe spawned a generation, and it could be argued that Illmatic changed hip-hop. The other albums you're mentioning are very good and all but they're just not contenders.

[icy manipulator]

whatever album ace of base released that year

[dave790]

They're two of my favourite albums, but Definitely Maybe. I had it when I was a kid, and I'd rather go out singing tonight i'm a rock n roll star than saying i never sleep!

[Lex Diamonds]

I kind of want to say Definitely Maybe cuz of the personal value it has to me, it was the first CD I ever got and I kinda grew up on it as my brother played it like 10 times a day when it first came out. Illmatic is pretty much perfect as a hip-hop album, though.

Arrrgh it's impossible to choose.

[roosta]

Oasis are one of the most boring bands ever.

Illmatic.

[Lex Diamonds]

Oh well, everyone's allowed their opinion. It's a shame that yours is completely wrong.

[MC Moot]

Looking back it was a very fine year indeed and all of these records were better than either of this polls selections....

"Ill Communication" Los Beazley Boys
“Crooked Rain,Crooked Rain” Pavement
"Weezer" Weezer
“Starlite Walker” Silver Jews
“Superunknown” Soundgarden
“Monster” R.E.M
“Mellow Gold” Beck
"Chocolate and Cheese" Ween
"MTV Nirvana Unplugged in New York" Nirvana
"Let's Go" Rancid

[roosta]

Regardless, Oasis are still boring.

Is this some kind of joke?

[MC Moot]

No unlike your poll it's the truth,child....

[Lex Diamonds]

Don't get defensive because of your poor taste in music. It's my duty as a human being to let you know your opinions are wrong.

[Jitters]

I've only heard a few songs from Oasis but I'm sure if I heard their album I'd still pick Illmatic.

Nasty Nas all up in your area (y)

[Freebasser]

Rolf Harris - Fuck You Up

Rolf Harris - Fuck You Up

lol

[TurdBerglar]

superunknown

[Otis Driftwood]

Troublegum

[HEIRESS]

holy crap! how could I forget "mellow gold" and "chocolate and cheese"

MAN!

[kleptomaniac]

ill communication :cool:

[The Notorious LOL]

Definitely Maybe spawned a generation


no it didnt. No one gives a shit about Oasis outside the UK.

[Waus]

no it didnt. No one gives a shit about Oasis outside the UK.

Seriously. I vaguely remember "Champagne Supernova" and "Y'Know What I Mean" when they were on alternative radio a long time ago. They're not the superstars here they think they are in the UK. Besides, they sound like real twats from whatever I've heard.

[AceFace]

no it didnt. No one gives a shit about Oasis outside the UK.
you know, i like oasis alot, but i was really confused as to why paddy was saying it spawned a generation. i thought i was music dumb or something. then this post made me realize that not everyone is from the US.

ugh, now i'm a typical american only thinking of my own country.

so i go back to weezer. that album is incredible.

[Lex Diamonds]

Wow, Americans being unreceptive/intolerant of other cultures... who would have thought?!

[Auton]

neither of 'em. Pulp- His N Hers was. in my lame, boring opinion of course.

both of those are really good albums, amazingly good, truth be told. His N Hers really is just one of my absolute favorite albums though, and I do personally prefer it to all the other 1994 releases.

[Lex Diamonds]

An interesting suggestion. I agree with you, His N Hers is a great album, too. (y)

[Auton]

^the 2006 double disc reissue is really worth checking out if you haven't already.. the second disc is actually as consistently amazing as the first, with some of the previously unreleased demos being some of my favorite pulp songs ever. it's definitely worth a listen (y)

oh wow, YES. although i didn't have a clue who PULP was in 1994, i will say that they are on my top 5 bands of all time and his n hers is my fave of theirs.

double disc re-release you say? is that only available in the UK?

hey, paddy, i was already making fun of myself for being a jerk.

[Lex Diamonds]

I know, I appreciated the self-deprecating nature of your post, I was just addressing the other morons who were like "Oasis are gay only UK fags like them LOL".

[AceFace]

i'm actually a big fan of brit pop. well, i guess maybe older brit pop. :)

[Lex Diamonds]

Early-mid 90's Britpop is the best generation of popular music since the 60's. (y)

[jabumbo]

cotton eye joe by the rednex was released in 1994

it also inspired a generation

[Lyman Zerga]

Oasis are one of the most boring bands ever.

yeah

most brit pop is shit

[Lyman Zerga]

no it didnt. No one gives a shit about Oasis outside the UK.

lol

and whats so great about 'wonderwall' ?
i may facial abuse myself if i hear it ever again

[Tzar]

no it didnt. No one gives a shit about Oasis outside the UK.

oh so true.

[taquitos]

Oasis are one of the most boring bands ever.

No one gives a shit about Oasis outside the UK.

...I sense a correlation

[banzai]

definitely HARD TO EARN, guys. jeeeeeze.
