That's a nice and well put together list. I was just listening to the Portishead Dummy album yesterday actually.

 

[Curlyteeth]

Can't beat dog man star

 

[kingmonkey]

Great times.
Did m people really win a mercury ahead of those?

 

[CheersMarra84]

I would’ve had Jar of Flies by Alice in Chains in the list personally, but some excellent albums there like.

Great minds marra!

That’s unbelievable!

Even worse only 2 of that list (blur and prodigy) were actually nominated!

 

[Billericay Dichio]

Nominated by The Deaf Club?

I own six of those and they're nowhere near being any good.

 

[Arkle]

That’s unbelievable!

In fairness, Dummy won in 1995 and Definitely Maybe was nominated then. And, three of them were made by Americans so not eligible anyway.

 

[kossoff]

I approve of this list.

 

[Beau Peep]

Twenty five years ago man, that's nuts

 

[mini-x2]

Four decent ones from that list.

 

[EDGE]

Only heard of 6 of them. Only actually heard 2 of them. Meh.

 

[Mickdundee]

Great list of albums, with a lot missing as well - Dookie, Superunknown, Welcome to the Cruel World, the Blue Album, Ill Communication, Punk in Drublic, Chocolate & Cheese

And that’s just off the top of my head - 1994 was a cracking year TBF.

Ah right, makes more sense, was surprised that definitely maybe hadn’t been nominated, was not the way I remembered it.

Still though M People, there’s just no need.

 

[Lukas73]

Underworld

 

[Helmerroids]

Wot no Superunknown or The Downward Spiral

 

[Cockney Mackem]

I would add Superunknown by Soundgarden to that list.

In the interests of balance, 1994 also brought some less classic work including:

Mr Bobby - The Album
Steam by East 17
Face The Music by New Kids On The Block
The Funky Headhunter by (MC) Hammer
Mind Blowin by Vanilla Ice
Real Things by 2Unlimited
Everyone Should Be Killed by AxCx
Miracles: The Holiday Album by Kenny G
There Is A Party by DJ Bobo
Tease Me by Chaka Demus and Pliers
