1990 - THE YEAR © ℗®™ Part 10 - Which album from this list of 1990 releases do you consider to be the best?

[treeduck]

A new decade and a new poll. This was the year of my last professional haircut!

[Entre_Perpetuo]

Well this would be hard if you'd left out the greatest thrash metal album of all time.

 

NEXT THING YOU KNOW, THEY'LL TAKE MY THOUGHTS AWAAAY!

[JohnnyBlaze]

Ah Via Musicom wins. Empire and Time’s Up got a lot of playtime from me in those days. I still regularly listen to Ah Via Musicom.

[yyz305]

New Jack Theme, Solace of You, This is the Life - Living Colour easily

[Na na na]

Empire

[custom55]

Black Crows

 

I've seen them a few times. Followed Chris Robinson Brotherhood too.

Shame that Edge Of The Century isn't on here, but that wouldn't win for me anyway.

 

Damn Yankees beats out The Razors Edge for this one

I definitely would’ve voted for this if it were on the poll.

 

duck, looks like you need to edit this poll too :hail:

Every song on it was awesome. Perfect ‘10’ album!

[Nova Carmina]

AC/DC, Gary Moore, Maiden, damn . . .

 

Gotta be Megadeth!

[Tony R]

Gary Moore’s stellar Still Got The Blues for me. Empire follows a distant second.

[Texas King]

Rust in Peace closely followed by Painkiller.

[Mithrandir]

EJ barely over Empire

[goose]

AC/DC's Razor's Edge was a major comeback for them and it produced three hits that still get regular play in all kinds of contexts. The Black Crowes burst onto the scene with a classic debut that also produced three hit songs.

 

But Empire features the band at their peak, so it gets the nod from me.

 

 

Agreed that Ritual de lo Habitual gets the nod if listed.

Ah via is the best EJ

 

really passion and warfare is the best by steve vai.

 

still love both of those records.

 

i picked megadeth for the third time.

 

Tangar 18, i know too much............

Tough when you put it against Painkiller which, in my opinion, was a knock it out of the park moment for JP! I can't pick between those two! I do like Empire, Cowboys From Hell, Persistence of Time (which was way ahead of it's, er, time...). God! All these polls are maddening and addictive at the same time!!!!

Liked as edited. :)

Did you skip 1989 entirely? 1988 was part 9, 1990 is part 10. I mean, 89 was a shit year for me personally, but I'm sure there was some decent music released?

Don't worry about that. He's not doing these polls in any kind of order.

Missed King's X - Faith Hope Love

[cygnify]

Empire, Ah Via Musicom, Rust in Peace (A great surprise comeback), Time's Up, Cowboys from Hell, Pornograffitti, Master Plan, Passion and Warfare were all in my rotation - but not as much as King's X Faith Hope Love. (which isn't in the poll)

 

I went with Passion and Warfare. Shredder album that actually had great dynamics and lots of variety. Chris Frazier killed it on drums; not to mention that dude on guitar too. lol.

 

Judging from several other entries, cheese metal also continued it's march toward the eventual grunge extinction.

Yep. Listen to the album a fair amount, mostly from the EJ comp file on my Mp3 player.

[blueschica]

Listened a lot to Razor's Edge and Ritual de lo Habitual but the Black Crowes record was my favorite that year.

 

Wasn't there a good King's X release that year also? Faith, Hope, Love? I liked that one a lot also.
