The Best Rock Album of Every Year of the 1990s

The 1990s were a historic decade for rock music. These were the years when the genre found new life as grunge broke out and tore down the simplistic era of hairbands. It's also when rock got more experimental, using technology and hip-hop to add layers to the sound. The 90s were rock's big last hurrah as the time before the internet further separated us and made it difficult to break out. If you're of a certain age, like this writer, this is when rock 'n roll peaked. These 10 albums prove it. There will never be another decade like the 90s.
