I think most judgements were on the band, and not the significance, relevance or impact of each respective album... Like why most of us picked DT just because..  :lol

90s music is awful. :lol Pretty good year for black metal, though 1991-1993 is much better. The Mercyful Fate reunion album is totally awesome. Bathory's Requiem is great too. But Awake wins from this list easily.

You didn't search hard enough then.

As a 33 year old dude, I understand that the internet wasn't a prominent source of exposing you to nonmainstream music for much/all of the 90s. That established, you should also realize that this also means you have a shitload of undiscovered music from all pre-2000 decades and that it's ridiculously shortsighted to basically be like "lol 90s music ain't shit".

My comment was in specific reference to the list of albums in the poll, most of which are not good. The 90s as a whole had plenty of great music, but apparently Revolver is unaware of most of it.
