Episode 11: 25 Albums Turning 25 In 2018: The Best Albums of 1993-SLIS Podcast: celebrating a watershed year for alternative music.
Following on the heels of our podcast episode ranking the best albums from 1988, co-host Chris Logan and I decided to tackle all the best albums turning 25 this year.
To do so, we picked the 25 best from 1993–our own 12 individual picks and a mutual tiebreaker to wrap things up for the best of that year.
’93 was a massive year for alternative rock, with bands like Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Afghan Whigs, Depeche Mode and Slowdive releasing career best albums, stellar debuts from the likes of the Cranberries and Digable Planets, and underrated gems from acts including Cop Shoot Cop, Gene Loves Jezebel, The The, Morphine and Radiohead (that’s right, Pablo Honey is amazing–deal with it!).
So dive in to our latest podcast episode and see if your favorites made the cut, and list your favorites in the comments.
