I Love You Always Forever is notable because whatever year it came out, it spent a long long time at number one on American Top 40 or Rick Dees or whatever. It's a decent enough song but it's never remembered considering it was a big hit.
My favorite albums of the '90s that I can remember in this span of free time at work are
- Kyuss: Welcome to Sky Valley
- REM: Automatic for the People
- Flaming Lips: Clouds Taste Metallic
- Fu Manchu: California Crossing
- Barenaked Ladies: Rock Spectacle
- GZA: Liquid Swords
- Smash Mouth: Fush Yu Mang
I should note that I listened to most of these albums as a whole for the first time between 2005 and 2013 because I was born in 1993
But if I had to pick the one I was the biggest fan of actually in the '90s, it was early Smash Mouth and I regret nothing
Cracker - The Golden Age
Rancid - ... and Out Come The Wolves
The Black Crowes - The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion
Pearl Jam - Vs
Weezer - Blue Album
REM - Monster
Counting Crows - Recovering the Satellites
Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
Fountains of Wayne - Fountains of Wayne
these were my favorite albums during the 90s
looking back I'd change them around a bit (and add several more)
- KoRn Follow the Leader
- Alanis Morissette Jagged Little Pill
- No Doubt Tragic Kingdom
- Blink-182 Enema of the State
- Rob Zombie Dragula
- Limp Bizkit Significant Other
- Offspring Americana (Ixnay is better but I was in junior high school OK??)
- Portishead Dummy
- Chumbawamba Tubthumper (FUN FACT: Still slaps!)
- Weird Al Yankovich Alapalooza (DOUBLE FUN FACT: I didn't hear Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody until way later and was stoked that someone did a dead serious cover of a Weird Al song)
- Red Hot Chilli Peppers Californication
I had a lot more favourite 90's albums after the fact too once I graduated high school and became unbearably pretentious but they do not count.

Favorite 90's albums as a 10-20 year old in the 90's?
Metallica - Black Album
White Zombie - La Sexorcisto Devil Music v.1
Liz Phair - Exile in Guyville
Tool - Undertow
Quicksand - Manic Compression
Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the 36th Chamber
Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine
Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger
Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
Nirvana - Incesticide (Give me weirdo B-side Nirvana all day)
I also had a cassette that was Korn's self-titled debut on one side and Marilyn Manson's Portrait of an American Family on the other and it got a lot of rotations in 94-96.
Were none of us cool enough in the 90s to listen to Monster Magnet? I only got into them at all because they had a banger on The Matrix soundtrack, but that was only in the 90s by like 4 months so I'm not sure I'd count my discovery of Monster Magnet truly 90s.

I was into Monster Magnet as well, but a true list would break the format table, so...

Half of the 90s for me was spent listening to movie soundtracks honestly, until my dad brought home a CD zip case that fell out of someones truck, and without thumbing through it just gave it to my brother and I. Inside were all the things you shouldn't hand to a 7 year old starting with Marilyn Manson, Fugees and Coolios Gangsters Paradise. I think there was also a bunch of Chris Shepherds Pirate Radio albums in there as well, but let me tell you that on that day something awoke in me.
As a 31 year old living in the year 2021 here are my top 10 albums from the '90s:
Depeche Mode - Songs of Faith and Devotion
Modest Mouse - The Lonesome Crowded West
Daft Punk - Homework
The Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
Guided By Voices - Alien Lanes
Silver Jews - American Water
Bell & Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister
System of a Down - System of a Down
Live - Throwing Copper
Garth Brooks - No Fences
I have been to exactly one strip club in my whole life, and one of the ladies did a set to the Live song...
Lightning Crashes.
IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT SONG IS ABOUT, do yourself a favor and give it a quick listen or read the lyrics. My consternation will be very understood.

Levolor was (and probably still is) the largest manufacturer of blinds and pull shades in the country

Is it really a cover if the bass player who wrote the song had played in a new band?

This is me, but Final Fantasy 8 and the first System of a Down album. Still when I hear SUGAR I see this.
Except I brought Quistis instead of Rinoa because duh.

This album rips ok
Metallica - Black Album
White Zombie - La Sexorcisto Devil Music v.1
Liz Phair - Exile in Guyville
Tool - Undertow
Quicksand - Manic Compression
Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the 36th Chamber
Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine

Pretty Hate Machine was 1989 :rotate:
I listened to it in the 90s too though.
But those aren't really like, '90s throwback albums in the same way eh
No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom
Nirvana - In Utero
Built to Spill - Keep it Like a Secret
Soundgarden - Superunknown
Portishead - Portishead
Cowboy Junkies - Miles From Our Home
Suzanne Vega - Nine Objects of Desire
Weird Al - Running with Scissors
Radiohead - OK Computer
Counting Crows - Recovering the Satellites
I still like 'em a lot but they aren't as interesting to me anymore
I do think that Claypool's songwriting is extremely funny, especially once you notice that probably half his songs are just about a guy with a job
And then I learned it was an homage to dunking on Courtney Love and it became my favorite Primus song.
Favourite 90's albums in no real order:
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
Teenage Fanclub - Bandwagonesque
The Boo Radleys - Giant Steps
Sonic Youth - Dirty
