Welcome to the exciting second half of Popblerd!’s list of the 100 best albums of the Nineties. If you haven’t seen the first half of our list, this is a great place to start. It’s OK, we’ll wait. Well, now that you’re caught up, let’s continue with the debut solo album from an amazing singing/songwriting/rapping triple threat (and she could act, too!) that should have set up a legendary career… 50. Lauryn Hill | The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill (released 8/25/98 […]

Madonna writhes around in a leotard, Dave Grohl channels Michael Douglas in “Falling Down”, and The White Stripes do “Conan” (in other words, #50-#41) can be found here . Now, here’s the next batch of new millennium video hits! (said in douchey DJ voice) 40. Burning Beard | Clutch (2005) “Burning Beard” by Clutch had me the moment Neil Fallon opened his maw and barked “Everyday/I wake up/Drink a lot of coffee and watch the CNN” (He also actually barks later […]

Generally speaking, the Popblerd crew has been able to come to a consensus when it comes to the best videos of the Eighties and Nineties. When it came to counting down the best videos of the past 11 1/2 years, though, we were all over the damn place. It makes sense: MTV became less of a cultural signpost as they shifted towards reality programming (buoyed by the success of “The Real World”), the music industry witnessed a severe decline in […]

10. “Closer” Nine Inch Nails (1994) A truly terrifying parade of grotesqueries unsuitable for late-night viewing, NIN’s clip for “Closer” is brilliant in both sheer depravity and the innovative choice to use worn film stock, contributing to the video’s house-of-horrors atmosphere. Even the “frame missing” slides insinuate something horrifying, although what’s present – beating hearts, pig’s heads, horned skulls, and, perhaps most disturbingly, a silhouetted Trent Reznor seducing a decidedly breast-shaped microphone – should certainly do the trick. – Drew […]

#21-#30 , #31-#40 , and 41-50 can be found by clicking on the links, silly! 20) “Nuthin’ But a G Thang” Dr. Dre (featuring Snoop Doggy Dogg) (1992) Snoop Dogg was first introduced to the world by Dr. Dre via the “Deep Cover” single from the film and soundtrack of the same name, but this song and video was a re-introduction that assured no one would forget his name. The video takes us through a day in the life of Dre and Snoop […]

1) Foo Fighters –Wasting Light Record of the year. If there is a better second half of the year release I’ll console myself with that hypothetically brain-punchingly excellent album. Bands get sharper over time; few have hit the running peak of passion and musicianship the Foos are on right now. 2) Hayes Carll – KMAG YOYO Never heard of him.Saw two Carllsongs on my way out of another show. Bought the album out of left field. Alt-country, straight-up country, straight-up […]

While of late I have been obsessed in equal parts with stoner rock and the first ten Chicago records (don’t ask), I’ve also been wired into some fine new sounds outside those two poles. It’ll all change by year end, but as of now, here be my faves: 1. Foo Fighters: Wasting Light. Their best record by such a wide margin, it’s almost like we’ve been listening to a different band for the last 15 years. 2. Peter Bradley Adams: […]

Last week was actually the 26th chart week of the year, so we’re a little more than halfway into what has been a fairly solid year musically. From a business standpoint, sales of prerecorded music are up for the first time in seven years, buoyed by hit albums from sources expected (Lady GaGa) and unexpected (Adele!). In addition, just about every conceivable sub-genre has produced at least one classic album this year. So whether you like pop-flavored country, retro new […]

Chart Stalker 6/23/11: Bad Meets Evil and Tops the Charts

Eminem has returned to the top of the Billboard album charts, and he’s brought his homeboy Royce Da 5’9 along with him. Teaming up as Bad Meets Evil, the duo debuts at #1 with Hell: The Sequel. 171,000 people bought the album; not fantastic numbers for a title Eminem-affiliated, but this album comes without the pop cachet that his solo albums generally have. In other words, this is something for the hip-hop heads. So a chart-topping debut is still impressive. […]

There’s not much going on as far as this week’s Billboard charts. People apparently ran away from record stores in droves following Easter weekend, and last week’s sales totals are pretty low. Thank goodness for Adele, who scans another 124,000 copies of 21 to land at #1 yet again. Without that number, the chart would look very dismal indeed. The Foo Fighters stand at #2 with a dismal 34,000 copies sold, and the three debuts in the Top Twenty (Explosions […]
