Last night, I saw a band named Ash perform their album titled 1977--released in 1996--in its entirety.
A review of the show will be forthcoming, but the live rendering served to not only reiterate but enhance my regard for a disc I bought 20 years ago.
In a Facebook post, I called 1977 one of my favorite albums of the '90s--then and now--but it got me thinking about "just how favorite?"
Top 10? Top 20? Top 50?
So as best I could cull, I've put together the following list, with a Top 11 and several other albums deserving mention.
My 11 Favorite Albums of the '90s
