Your Top 5 Albums of the 90's

Idea from an RPGnet thread. I don't really remember the 90's so I go to my Music app and create a playlist of albums from 1990 to 1999. Unfortunately I've reset my play counts so I'm recollecting which albums I played the most.

  • The Corrs: Forgiven, Not Forgotten (1995) - I remember listening to this walking from place to place in Berkeley.
  • Shania Twain: Come On Over (1997) - I played this so much during gaming with friends.
  • Faith Hill: Faith (1998) - It may be that This Kiss got me listening to country music for a few years. Hard to remember.
  • Britney Spears: ...Baby One More Time (1999) - This one I played a lot on driving commutes.
  • A*Teens: The ABBA Generation (1999) - So used to playing this album that when I hear ABBA songs on JoeBruin's stream the song seems like it's playing at 3/4ths speed.

I forgot that Mariah Carey's first album was 1990. I really love Roxette's first album but that was in 1988.

It's kind of crazy that all the albums are second half of the decade but I guess it makes sense. I was really listening to these CDs when I started commuting after moving to Concord (start of 1998?). And back then no MP3 player so it was a CD player that I'd manually change the disc out if it didn't last the hour-long commute (so usually).
