Double J celebrates the 90s all this month, and along with their listeners they have selected the 50 Best Australian Albums of the 90s.
Dan Condon, Double J Music Editor, says “…we made those responses a key part of our decision-making process. It didn’t exactly make it easier, but we’re hoping it has made it better.”
