Ved Buens Ende - I Sang for the Swans (1995)
I don't know how this could've existed back in 1995 and nobody realized it. Some of the most spectacular, before-their-time and generally impeccable progressive music that was ever made. There's a lot we could learn from these guys.

VELVET EDEN - 異形姫 (1999)
Did someone say said goth/post-punk? Japan is on it. This is some of the most intense goth stuff I've ever heard.

That's a definitive classic right there!

Sabbath, Testament and X are the only songs out of the whole bunch from Daedolon that I would ever want to hear a second time. I suppose I should include something I listened to back in the 90's. From about 1985 to 1995 I was pretty much into the instrumentals with the flashy high speed guitarists like Yngwie Malmsteen, Tony Macalpine, Vinnie Moore and lots of others. But one of the bands with vocals I liked was Metal Church.

I only know Metal Church's Metal Church as it's been covered a few times. But the musicianship sounds fucking top notch.

Can't get over how sublime this band is. Best way to spend an evening alone in the candlelight while getting intoxicated.

In the category '90s bands that I saw live in the '90s:

Pavement - Kennel District

Blumfeld - Verstärker

Respectively the last and penultimate act of the Big Cat Festival in Amsterdam 1995.
Pavement were a cool headliner, but Blumfeld was my favourite of the day (and still one of the best gigs I've seen).

John Harrison - The Dead Suite (Day of the Dead soundtrack)

Beautiful stuff; reminiscent of John Carpenter's soundtracks, but reminds me of Peter Gabriel's earlier albums as well.

The Jacksons - This Place Hotel (live 1981)

Originally titled Heartbreak Hotel, retitled due to rights issues.

Fleetwood Mac - Songbird

Eva Cassidy's saccharine version doesn't come close to Christine McVie's soulful original.
