A new poll is going up on Monday morning and I want to hear your thoughts before I compile a list.
What is your favorite hardcore release of the 1990s? Leave your suggestions in the comments.
(ed. note - Each band only gets to have one album represented, so some feelings might get hurt. I'm sorry.)
And while we're on the subject, check out our friend Justin's blog Stuck in the Past, currently featuring the article, "5 Things I Miss About 90s Hardcore", from guest columnist Sergeant D.

I would say my favorite album of the 90's might be Earth Crisis 'Destroy The Machines'. Most likely, it is the most important straightedge album of the entire decade. That album got people involved in a lot of stuff, like straightedge and veganism.
Catharsis, Samsara gets my vote. I'm guessing Unbroken, Life. Love. Regret. will win.
i didnt listen to hardcore in the 90's, since i was young and all. but heres my 2 cents worth.
living with a god complex
life.love.regret.
bloodlust revenge
the promise
the shape of punk to come
Chokehold's "Content with Dying" LP, or Sick Of It All's "Just Look Around"
floorpunch goal line stand/division on champs
Cave In
Beyond Hypothermia
Its technically all their 7" compiled but Its an album none the less
i am going with spidey. or maybe demonstrating my style.
Integrity - Those Who Fear Tomorrow
Ringowrm - The Promise is a close second.
Those Who Fear Tomorrow
Favorite 7" would have to be Ironside "Fragments Of The Last Judgement"
But since it's probably better to name full albums for me it's "Those Who Fear Tomorrow" and then probably "Systems Overload" for a close second.
I told trevor when we were talking about this Earth crisis might technically be the winner since it really influenced a shit ton of bands but I would rather listen to For those who fear tomorrow.
I say its a toss up between Destroy the machines and those who fear tomorrow.
Progression through unlearning
although i wasn't introduced to hardcore until well after the 90's i would have to say the albums that are my favorites aside from sugar ray would have to be crossbearer, firon, content with dying, only the diehard remain, and grace. couldn't pick just one
i would have to say threadbare.
Entheogen. Definitely not as key as many of the afore mentioned albums, but my favorite of the 90's. Functioning On Impatience is a close second.
Bloodlet- Entheogen, Ringworm- Flatline, Damnation AD- No More Dreams of Happy Endings.
Agree with Josch.
Progression through unlearning
18 posts and no mention of Slapshot or Sheer Terror? I'm surprised.
holy shit you are sooo right trevor love songs for the unloved has to be on there and any sick of it all album, i would choose live in a world of hate because it has all there good 90's shit and you would have to throw starkweather crossbearer and disembodied if god only knew the rest were dead and fuck what about section 8 nine ways to say i love you. its too hard i cant even pick one album to put on the list my head is going to explode and i didnt even mention integrity or earth crisis
Harvest - Transitions.
Slaughter of the Soul - At The Gates.
Self Titled - Crowbar.
No More Dreams of Happy Endings - Damnation AD
Dismantle - Dissolve
Punk in Drublic - NOFX
The Chronic - Dr. Dre
I cant decide between XbishopX and Armed For Battle
dont forget about liferuiner, brook.
