SURELY YOU’VE HEARD Nirvana’s Nevermind, Pearl Jam’s Ten, Metallica’s Black Album and Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Californication. How could you not? When those albums first appeared, they were everywhere, saturating eardrums throughout the Nineties via FM radio, MTV and VH1. And yeah, it’s always a treat to return to the crème of the proverbial crop, but then again, doesn’t it get tiresome listening to something that’s been played to death? If you’re nodding your head in agreement, then please do check out our guide to 10 overlooked albums from the Nineties that are worth a second look and/or listen.
10. NEVERLAND, NEVERLAND (1991)
SOME BANDS HAVE all the pieces but can’t catch a break, Neverland being no exception. It’s a shame, as 1991’s Neverland is loaded with upbeat cuts defined by Dean Ortega’s impassioned vocals and guitarist Patrick Sugg’s dandy licks. Ortega is a solid frontman, but Sugg steals the show through his tasteful choices that cleverly harken back to the Seventies. You might recall Neverland for their single “Drinking Again,” which was featured on the Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure soundtrack, but their self-titled album proved that while they never achieved significant success, they were primed for so much more.
9. AMERICRUISER, URGE OVERKILL (1990)
