1994
I graduated high school, and it was really tough narrowing this down to 10 albums. Albums I was actually into at the time were Weezer, Beastie Boys, Underworld, Nas, and Nirvana. The rest were discovered later. Other greats that I loved at the time that didn't make the cut now include: NIN's The Downward Spiral, Veruca Salt's American Thighs, Ween's Chocolate and Cheese, Helmet's Betty, Pantera's Far Beyond Driven, and Nailbomb's Point Blank. I also later discovered 1994 greats by Sonic Youth, Failure, Unwound, Drive Like Jehu, Aphex Twin, and Autechre to name a few. So while I love these 10, this could easily have been a top 20 without stretching.
