Albums First Released in 1994

Britpop, trip hop and a new wave of hip hop arrived in 1994 alongside major alternative-rock albums. Standout albums from 1994 include Grace by Jeff Buckley, Illmatic by Nas, Dummy by Portishead and Definitely Maybe by Oasis.

Several artists arrived through unusually complete debuts. Nas compressed New York life into Illmatic, Portishead slowed hip hop rhythms into something darker, Oasis revived direct guitar pop and Jeff Buckley built Grace around voice and dynamic range.

Our Pick of the Year: Grace by Jeff Buckley

Grace was the only complete studio album Jeff Buckley released during his lifetime. Last Goodbye, Grace and his version of Hallelujah show the range of his voice, but the quieter details in the guitar arrangements keep the record from becoming a simple vocal showcase. Its small catalogue has made the album carry unusual weight.
