10 Overlooked '90s Rock Albums That Should've Been Bigger (Year by Year)

The 1990s were huge for rock, but even with business booming there were still some amazing rock albums that somehow were not as big as they should've been

In this list, we're giving praise to some well-deserving albums and in some cases maybe even introducing you to records that you might have missed upon their first release.

There are a few on here that feature well-known names. For instance, while we know Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament from Pearl Jam, but it's definitely worth your time to go revisit their previous group Mother Love Bone who issued their lone album Apple in 1990.

And while the Pixies are often considered  progenitors of the grunge movement, we give a shoutout to one of Frank Black's solo works of the '90s that's now critically praised but didn't necessarily hit a commercial windfall upon its release.

As rock of the '90s was so diverse, so is this list. We've got representation from blues-rock, industrial music, stoner rock and even a few British exports that didn't quite fit the Brit-rock of the '90s mold.

We're also breaking this list down by year and giving you a few other awesome overlooked rock albums from each year in case you want to go down the rabbit hole of revisiting these gems.
