Rock music underwent a major transformation in the 1990s, giving rise to a number of 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.
