If you’re a regular to this blog (hey Der Effe!) then you’ll remember our Top 100 Albums of the 00s that I posted at the start of the month. Well this post is the same, except for the previous decade. Each member submitted a list of their top 50 albums of the 90s, and popular forum member LENNY compiled a huge list (329 albums in total), awarding 100 points to each member’s number 1 album, 99 points for their number 2 and so on.
As a lot of the users are proper MADFERITs, the 90s were a lot easier to agree on, and the top 10 may be a little predictable. Still, some great tracks on there that I’ll be posting – if you haven’t heard them I strongly reccommend listening.
