Rock music underwent a major transformation in the 1990s, giving rise to many timeless albums that have become classics. With its unadulterated passion and catchy hooks, Nirvana’s “Nevermind” personified the grunge movement and became the song of a generation. “OK Computer” by Radiohead, which received global acclaim for its avant-garde soundscapes and introspective lyrics, revolutionized alternative rock. The Smashing Pumpkins’ “Siamese Dream” captured audiences with its dreamy yet hard-hitting guitar-driven melodies, while Pearl Jam’s “Ten” demonstrated the band’s unusual fusion of grunge and classic rock. Additionally, “Automatic for the People” by R.E.M. contained a number of contemplative and masterfully composed songs that had a significant influence on the rock genre.
