I've had this exact conversation numerous times. So many great albums. There will probably never be a year like that again.

Just look at the Wikipedia page for 1994 in music:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_in_music#Albums_released

That buzzfeed list is crappy and omits a lot if good releases

Sorted my itunes by year and filled in some that were not yet mentioned (when I started, anyways... looks like there have been some replies in the meantime.)
Sorry if any of these were from earlier years and my tags are due to represses...
