Radio X magazine continues its in-depth look at the Nineties, focusing in particular on 1993. It was one of the pivotal years for alternative rock in that decade: as grunge began to show its first signs of exhaustion, britpop was taking shape in Britain and new contaminations were redrawing the boundaries of indie. It was the year of albums destined to become symbols of an era, from In Utero” by Nirvana to “Siamese Dream” by Smashing Pumpkins, along with the debuts of Suede and Radiohead and “Modern Life Is Rubbish” by Blur.
Here, then, is Radio X's ranking of the 25 best albums of 1993 (full feature here).
