I loved (and still do love) the 90s and being the lover of music that I am, the thing about the 90s that I love the most is the music that the decade produced. So, here's a list of (and an ode to) my favorite albums from the 90s.
Disclaimer: I did not discover several of these until the 2000s or even later but because they came out in the 90s they go on this list.
Disclaimer 2: I recommended 2 songs from each album for you to get a taste of what the album sounds like but try think of them as just parts to the whole of the greater albums that they belong to.
