1994 because that's the year I graduated high school and it's hard to deny the feelings you have for music at that stage in life.
And I mean, just look at this:
Änglagård - Epilog
Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Volume II
Autechre - Amber
Beastie Boys - Ill Communication
Built to Spill - There's Nothing Wrong With Love
Drive Like Jehu - Yank Crime
Failure - Magnified
Green Day - Dookie
Helmet - Betty
Jawbox - For Your Own Special Sweetheart
Kyuss - Welcome to Sky Valley
Marilyn Manson - Portrait of an American Family
Melvins - Stoner Witch
Nailbomb - Point Blank
Nas - Illmatic
Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
Nirvana - MTV Unplugged in New York
NOFX - Punk in Drublic
Orbital - Snivilisation
Pantera - Far Beyond Driven
Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth - The Main Ingredient
Pigface - Notes From Thee Underground
Polvo - Celebrate the New Dark Age
Psychic TV - Electric Newspaper Issue One
Refused - This Just Might Be... The Truth
Rodan - Rusty
Sebadoh - Bakesale
Shellac - At Action Park
The Smashing Pumpkins - Pisces Iscariot
Sonic Youth - Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star
Stone Temple Pilots - Purple
Sunny Day Real Estate - Diary
Three Mile Pilot - The Chief Assassin to the Sinister
UGK - Super Tight...
Underworld - Dubnobasswithmyheadman
Unwound - New Plastic Ideas
Veruca Salt - American Thighs
Ween - Chocolate and Cheese
Weezer - Blue Album
And I've left out a lot that others probably consider great/essential. Even a given year in the 60s or 70s wouldn't have as many in the list.
