7: Your 1990-1994 track faves: One track per album

The idea is to list one track per album that you like from the 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, and 1994 years. You can be as comprehensive in this as you like. I like to compare people's lists.

* Björk's "Play Dead" is on various re-issued releases of Debut, and not on the original release.
** While I have focused on studio recordings for the series, I really want to cover something from this quite little-known Swans live album.

I considered including music from Angelo Badalamenti's Twin Peaks, Preisner's Three Colours and other soundtracks, but as a big soundtrack collector that could entail a whole other topic and I already am covering so much ground when it comes to music.

I made a playlist of my tracks and will share it just in case anyone is interested in checking out any of my choices.

IQ ''Further Away'' (Ever, 1993)

^ forgot about the Cranberries. Zombie might be one of the best songs ever written and so brave to do it basically 'outing' the IRA. Respect and RIP Dolores O'Riordan
