1993
Tough year. When I started the list, I had Smashing Pumpkins and Tool as my top two, then I realized I was letting nostalgia get in the way as I hardly listen to them anymore - but they're still deserving of the top 5. Tool's Undertow was my favorite of the year for a long time. Former favs that didn't make the cut include: KMFDM, Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, Cypress Hill, Pennywise, Butthole Surfers, and Type O Negative, Unwound, Polvo, Hum, and Quicksand.
