Very interesting battle going on in the 1992 poll between REM and Rage Against The Machine, probably the most exciting we've had to date. The poll remains open for another few days so vote if you haven't already. Anyway here's the picks for the 1993 poll,
Well this ain't getting any easier anyway. I love the Tindersticks album, think the Bjork album probably sounds the best today, prefer In Utero to Nevermind, and I love both PJ Harvey and Liz Phair, but it came down to a choice between Blur and the Pumpkins for me, with Blur winning because that band meant more to me than the Smashing Pumpkins
Liz Phair - Never Said - Exile In Guyville
Nirvana - Rape Me - In Utero
Bjork - Big Time Sensuality - Debut

very close between Siamese Dream and Pablo Honey - 2 amazing albums in their own right. I went with Siamese Dreams because i listen to more songs today from that album than i do from Pablo Honey... honourable mention to Blur and Tindersticks.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
While I like the Snoop Dogg one, I'm going for a different hip hop album from '93.
Wu Tang Clan - Enter The Wu Tang (36 Chambers)
One of the finest East Coast hip hop albums and one of the best debuts ever. Protect Ya Neck was their debut single.
The video's a bit odd. All curses are censored, except the n-word.
Extratime.ie
Yo te quiero, mi querida. Sin tus besos, yo soy nada.
Abri o portão de ouro, da maquina do tempo.
Mi mamá me hizo guapo, listo y antimadridista.
Has to be Siamese Dream, very tough decision. Mayonnaise one of my favourite songs of all time. Closely followed by Blur and Nirvana.
'Fascists dress in black and go round telling people what to do, where as priests.....'
An odd year for me, this, obviously, as every single one of the albums I thought about picking are missing from the poll!
Belly - 'Star', Underworld - 'Dubnobasswithmyheadman', and The Breeders - 'Last Splash' (which I'd think should garner a few votes) all conspicuous by their absence.
A more obscure treasure was Transglobal Underground's debut, and still best effort, 'Dream of 100 Nations', a gorgeous album.
But as one I haven't stopped listening to since it came out, and still as fresh as ever, my vote is for Utah Saints' self-titled album. Was originally released in the US in late '92 but not here or the UK (with the blue cover) until '93.

Had to vote other, and go with the home town vote
The Cranberries - Everyone else is doing it, so why can't we?
also, some albums that aren't on the list, but should be
No Cure For Cancer - Denis Leary (ok, not technically an "album" but worthy of inclusion IMO)
Happy Nation - Ace of Base (crap now, but many fond memories of listening to them)
Emergency On Planet Earth - Jamiroquai (not as good as their later stuff, but still well worth a listen)
Zooropa - U2 (In general, not their best, but has my favorite U2 track ever - Stay (Faraway, so close!))
God Shuffled His Feet - Crash Test Dummies
VS - Pearl Jam
Bat Out Of Hell II: Back Into Hell - Meatloaf
I'll try and keep the Pumpkins ahead on this one though it was actually well into 94 before I started listening to Siamese Dream.
Some good calls from Stann on Belly and Breeders.
Onto the list of commendations I'd like to add...
*Thirteen by Teenage Fanclub
*Chaos AD by Sepultura
*This Leaden Pall by Half Man Half Biscuit
*Big Red Letter Day by Buffalo Tom
It was a year I was often afraid to go near a radio or TV set most of the time. I didn't get the whole Bjork thing AT ALL. Though it was the likes of the ****ing Beloved who really had me diving for cover. They were everywhere. Music to shop to. Instant mash set to audio. Actually that's not fair ...quite like instant mash.
" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
Voted other Cypress Hill-Black Sunday classic hip-hop album, with Pearl Jam Vs a close 2nd.

As jebus is probably sick of doing it, I'll put a reminder in to people who vote 'Other' to let him know what that other is, or your vote is worth f*** all.
Specially in this case as it's quite possible it may be for an album that might challenge for the honour.
Not looking at anyone in particular Dodge and The Optimist.

Snoop Dogg - Doggystyle easily the best album of 93
Galway United - Connacht Champions 2008
Sweet Jebus, 1993 was a **** year for music.

The best album of 1993, in fact one of my main contenders for number one album of the last twenty years, is "I've Seen Everything" by the Trashcan Sinatras. They are sublime and it's an immaculate album. This is the gospel according to me.
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
I'm going for Tindersticks début. (Your link, Jebus, is from Simple Pleasures which came out about six years later. What you want is the Jarvis Cocker directed 'City Sickness')
At the time I remember it being a kind of post-grunge pre-brit-pop wishy-washy time, with a few exceptions, then this sprawling album came along, like nothing else around at the time. Sure, I still listen to Star, Last Splash, Siamese Dreams (occasionally), but this is the one I return to most often.
Another one not mentioned yet that deserves to be:
Mazzy Star - So tonight that I might see
Ceci n'est pas une signature
Other... The Boo Radleys - Giant Steps
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
David Gray - A Century Ends & The Cranberries everybody else... were the 2 most listened to at the time & the only 2 that still visit the turntable on a semi regular basis. A pretty poor year in comparrison to the previous 2
