Best album of the 90s

Don't know if you can call it an album but Pearl Jams unplugged was a thing of beauty.

As was Nirvana

Eric Clapton was too but I have recently read he had some odd views on race. Never sure if they were true or not.
 
Are you gonna go my way, Lenny Kravitz
Now I'm a cowboy, The Auteurs
Electronic, Electronic
Screamadelica, Primal Scream
If You're Feeling Sinister, Belle & Sebastian
Vauxhall and I, Morrissey

Pearl Jam's MTV Unplugged captured the early 90s perfectly. I watch it all the time and love it to bits. But don't think it got released as an album?
 
Got a couple more i'd want to add:

De La Soul, 'De La Soul Is Dead'
Aaliyah, 'One in a Million'
Air, 'Moon Safari'
Outkast, 'Aquemini'
Dr. Dre, 'The Chronic'
Jamiroquai, 'Emergency On Planet Earth'
Jamiroquai, 'Return of the Space Cowboy'
The Chemical Brothers, 'Exit Planet Dust'
Madonna, 'Ray of Light'
LL Cool J, 'Mama said knock you out'
Tom Waits, 'Bone Machine'

Edit:

Ohh, almost forgot the best of them all!
Aqua, 'Aquarium'

You've got three or so hours to get any more nominations in.

I'll pull it all together later and suggest that we have a poll to pull it down to a manageable amount. I was thinking of setting up a Google form and giving everyone 20 votes to pick their favourites. The top albums will go into the head to heads.
