1990
Welcome to the 90s. I started high school in 1990, went to college and started my career at the end. By all accounts, this is my decade as far as music is concerned. So first let's ignore all the glam metal I was still listening to at the beginning of 1990. And because this isn't a list of the top albums I loved then, we'll also have to ignore great albums by the likes of Alice in Chains and The Black Crowes. I should mention that by 1992 I was listening to a lot of metal acts like Pantera, Prong, Judas Priest, Anthrax, Slayer, etc. that put out great albums in 1990, but again, I'm just not into most of that anymore. Some that made the top 10 are very nostalgic but have stood the test of time for me (Megadeth, Suicidal Tendencies), some I discovered only a little later (Skinny Puppy, Jane's Addiction, Meat Beat Manifesto, Primus) and some considerably later (Fugazi, Sonic Youth, Tribe, Pixies). There's going to be a mix of these categories from here on out in my lists, as these next few years helped to form my music tastes. Not that my tastes aren't still evolving, of course.

1. Fugazi - Repeater
2. Skinny Puppy - Too Dark Park
3. Jane’s Addiction - Ritual de lo Habitual
4. Sonic Youth - Goo
5. Megadeth - Rust in Peace
6. A Tribe Called Quest - People’s Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm
7. Meat Beat Manifesto - Armed Audio Warfare
8. Suicidal Tendencies - Lights Camera Revolution
9. Pixies - Bossanova
10. Primus - Frizzle Fry

I realized after including Jane's Addiction's Ritual here that I mistakenly used that cover for 1988's Nothing's Shocking. So that's been updated now.
