First, it's bizarre to me that people think that "modern rock" radio garbage like Third Eye Blind represents the best of anything, aside maybe from being the best music to smash yourself in the head with a brick to.
That said, best "rock" albums of the 90's?
- Nirvana, "Nevermind," and "In Utero"
- Pearl Jam, "Ten," "Vs." and "Vitalogy." ("No Code" is also criminally underrated.)
- Metallica, "The Black Album"
- Pavement, "Slanted & Enchanted," and "Terror Twilight"
- Radiohead, "The Bends," and "OK Computer."
- Beck, "Odelay."
- Oasis, "Definitely Maybe," and "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?"
- Blur, "Parklife," "Blur," and "13."
- The Flaming Lips, "Clouds Taste Metallic," and "The Soft Bulletin."
- Neutral Milk Hotel, "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea"
- Wilco, "Being There" and "Summerteeth"
- Mogwai, "Young Team," and "Come On Die Young"
- Tom Waits, "Mule Variations"
- The White Stripes, "The White Stripes"
- Nine Inch Nails, "Broken," "The Downward Spiral," and "Fragile"
- Underworld, "Beaucoup Fish" (technically EDM, but whatever)
- Foo Fighters, "There Is Nothing Left To Lose," "The Colour and the Shape"
- Rage Against the Machine, "Self titled," and "Evil Empire"
- Massive Attack, "Mezzanine" (again, probably not technically "rock," but close enough)
