10-PJ Harvey- "To Bring You My Love." 

This album broke her through to the alternative radio market, the grooves covering the darker underbelly of her lyrics.

9-Bjork -"Post" 

She set the standard for electronic music in the 90s

8-Ozzy Osbourne- "Ozzmosis" 

Darker and heavier even when it comes to the ballads on this album that shook loose to the people who bought "No More Tears" for Momma I'm Coming Home."

   

7-Dissection- 'Storm of the Lightsbane"

This found the band at the peak of Jon's original incarnation of this band before things took a darker turn in his life, which wa his destiny, only lending weight to the message the album carries. 

 

6-Deicide -"Once Upon the Cross."

The first few albums that mark a transition in the band's career step from greatness as an era ends, which is what this brutal piece of religious-inspired anger serves up.

 

5-Deftones- "Adrenaline"

For many bands on this list, an era was ending, but fot this band, one was beginning. 

4-Radiohead-"The Bends." 

The last album that would find them as the grunge cousin of Britpop and transform into depressive paranoid androids that would change music. 

3-White Zombie- "Astro-Creep 2000'

The changing of the guard theme continues, as this would be the farewell for these guys, but not before this album allowed them to rule the world and goth clubs alike, as the industrial touches crossed them over into a place where they had their claws in every alternative culture.

2-Morbid Angel-"Domination"

The last great album of this era. The death metal bands of today are still trying to catch up with what these guys did here. 

1-Faith No More-"King for a Day, Fool For a Lifetime."  

Even the more streamlined approach without Jim Martin was changing the game . Not as dark as "Angel Dust," but it works for where they were at as a band, and head and shoulders above everyone else.
