Ben: post a PERFECT album from the 90s that isn’t nirvana or pearl jam or soundgarden or alice in chains (since none of those belong anywhere near the best albums of the 90s):

And, yes, I know I'm a basic bitch.

Different flavor of basic here lol

I'm not sure I've ever actually listened to this one

It's one of my favorites, but in a "sit in a dimly lit room and actually listen l" sort of way.

I won't argue. It 100% does what it sets out to do.

It was a global phenomenon in a way that somehow seemed more organic than the K-pop ROK state funded soft power shit.

I'm glad you said "seemed" not "was'

Nothing is organic in the music industry except singles one hit wonders

Indie baby!

Wrong (Opposites Attract slaps)

Another album that did exactly what it meant to do, even if that wasn't exactly my speed.

Make middle schoolers horny? That was exactly my speed at the time

A famously difficult task

True, but Paula Abdul was a virtuoso

I have the tape and I was the exact age of a kid who should buy that tape To be clear I also have broken by NIN and repeater by fugazi on tape ..and a marky mark and the funky bunch one look I had eclectic tastes

it's wild i woke up this morning with the bizarre thought about how weird it is a dancer and choreographer was given a record contract and on her debut album had **SIX** hits, including four straight #1s, six straight #1s in total, but then totally disappeared as a pop artist.

She became too famous to be a working musician!

I don’t even know what that means!

She didn't need to keep doing it. She reached essentially peak fame and has just maintained it for 30 years.
