Description
In 501 Essential Albums of the ’90s, Gary Graff leads a cast of fellow music journalists in presenting the music of everyone’s favorite decade…the last decade before the proliferation of social media and digital downloads.
With lively descriptions of the releases and over 600 images, this hefty 448-page volume curates 501 albums spanning genres and subgenres—pop, hip-hop, R&B, grunge, metal, country, world music—and features:
- Year-by-year organization
- Knowledgeable rundowns of every album featured
- Album art for each selection
- Artist imagery
- Record label, release date, and producer(s) for each
- Soundtracks and compilation releases also included
The journalists detail the circumstances of the releases, notable singles from each, their influence on contemporary and later artists…in short, why each is considered one of the best of the decade.
Britney or Body Count, Nirvana or NSync, Metallica or Morisette, Garth or Green Day, Weezer or Wu Tang—whatever your tastes, you will relish this ultimate retrospective of the decade’s music.

This is an absolutely wonderful, rich, nostalgic and collective item.
If you lived the '90s or like the era's music, you will cherish this book.
The design, the contents, the information and the diversity of the albums included are all awesome.
Lauren P, Reviewer
Ahhh. What a magical trip down memory lane. I loved every bit of this… What surprised me was how much I enjoyed seeing the album covers again. Brought me back to my middle school, high school, and college years…
This read is a must for Gen X and Millennials… or in my case, Xennial.
I liked the format where the albums themselves were not ranked….
The fact soundtracks were included was super cool. Of course I’m thinking of albums I would have included, but this is not an easy list to create
Thanks to Net Galley and the Publisher for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Absolutely love this! Reading and looking through this book brought back so many memories. I would definitely like to pick this up when it releases and I highly recommend!

This is an interesting collection of music from the 90s. The music covers wide genres and lots of fun albums. There is lots of good information and lots of pictures. I viewed a digital version but I could see that this would be an amazing coffee table book to revisit over time.
Thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to review this title.
