Last week, we looked at 15 albums that turn ten years old this year and we thought, why not go back a little further and check out what albums came out 20 years ago, for those among us who want to feel even older. We cheated a bit and included some hard rock albums, but we feel these albums are as much a reflection of the scene back then as the tr00 stuff.

Wow, for all the complaints that metal "died" in the 90s, 1994 seemed like a great year for heavy.
