BEST ALBUMS OF 1990

Over the past 12 podcast episodes, John and I have listened to (and argued over) more than 70 albums released in 1990. Some definite themes have emerged: the transition from ‘80s to ‘90s in both the form and content of popular music; the birth of new aesthetics and sociopolitical concerns in both rock and hip hop; and more than anything, the undeniable sound of underground music moving into the mainstream.On this episode, we share our respective “top ten” albums of 1990 and talk about the year’s dramatic developments in pop culture.
