The decade of grunge and Britpop, but also the time of Take That and the Spice Girls. It’s the usual caper with the albums quizzes, where you get three tracks and must name the album and artist.
Once again: if you are reading the quizzes out loud, try giving the quizzers two tracks – if they can identify the album from two they get both points, if they need the third track, which is usually the charm (the big single or stand out track), then they just get one.
