Albums of the year 1994 - as chosen by users of the Fediverse
This one is slightly later than planned so sorry about that but we are here now, to review the results of the album of the year 1994 vote as chosen by the users of the Fediverse.
A mixed bag in terms of response, some people specifically asked for this year, others said it wasn’t really their period whilst a select few were surprised by how much they loved from this year when delving deeper.
The year seems to have resonated to a certain degree as this has been the year with the most submissions so far.
There was a close race at the top of the leaderboard but in the end there was a winner. By one vote, the most popular choice for 1994s album of the year is The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails.
Second place, putting up a very respectable challenge was Dummy by Portishead.
Whilst these two albums were the clear front runners, there were three albums fighting for the bronze medal, all tied for third place. They are:
The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Selected Ambient Works Volume II by Aphex Twin
Triple Mania III by Crash Worship
The Holy Bible was my personal choice. I have never listened to Crash Worship so that one will be totally new to me.
Beyond these submissions there were plenty of albums that received at least one vote and deserve a mention too. The rest of the list looks like this:
Balls to Picasso by Bruce Dickinson
Let Love in by Nick Cave
Lifeforms by The Future Sound of London
Monster by R.E.M
World Demise by Obituary
Transylvanian Hunger by Darkthrone
Vitalogy by Pearl Jam
