These kinds of topics are frequented by those with certain tastes of "cool" music, but anyways, I'll bite. The nineties musicwise for me were essentially about female vocalists:
HM: Jewel Kilcher's Pieces of You, Tori Amos' Little Earthquakes, Ani Difranco's 1990 debut album, Sheryl Crow's self-titled album mid-decade. (And some jazz and classical music albums/compositions I'd heard for the first time, but not at all indicative of the decade I guess.)
It helped that I spent most of the decade listening to music with one girlfriend or another, in college and later out, and believe me when I say I have many FOND memories of these albums.
(I never did get the guy band thing. Guys listening to guys sing about not having women and beating up other guys.) |
I realize we're all entitled to our own opinions and there are no right or wrong answers here, but Jesus man, you're taking liberties! 
Alannis Morifookinsette? Ugh. God it's a ghastly shower. |

Yeah, talk about Easy Listening stations trying to cash in on the "alternative" thing and be "cutting edge" |

I'm no fan of hers either, but Jesus! There is Celine staring you in the face! How could you not see fit to mention her! And VI, I knew you were a dork and all, but damn! |

Kudos to VI for sharing his horrendous taste in music. If you have big enough balls to say you like Celine Dion and Alanis Morifookinsette on an internet forum then you're man enough in my books!!!
(But to call their albums "best of the 90's"!!!! For Gods sake!!!) |

Well, yes, there is that- they must must weigh a few kilos and be made of solid brass to confidently post a Madonna, an Alanis, and a Celine album as one's top albums of the nineties.
Having never met VI in person, I now picture him looking something like this:

The three I cited I'm sure outsold any three on your guys' lists, were too popular I guess, and i did think they were great albums, so seemed "TOP" albums of the decade in terms of female vocalists, the style of music I was most into then, and hence profiled.
Here are the other albums I was also REALLY into that decade, just as reflective of the nineties, and though less popular overall, were huge in their own genres:
The Vancouver Islander's best album to date:
Got me into Cuban music big time:
Thanks to the Winnipeg folk music scene I got into this kind of banjo:
Re-issued in the midnineties. Changed my life:
Heard it on CBC Radio and had to buy it and listen to it about five hundred times:
