All I remember from that time was that Slayed by Slade [I might have the album title wrong] was played a lot over the college PA system..

Those were the days @Rocker ;

My college years were around the time of AFD and Nevermind...  but I was listening to Led Zeppelin II, shred and NWOBHM. Wearing the Bay Area Thrash uniform (black skin tight jeans, white high tops and a Master of Puppets T).

This, I think, explains my lack of female companionship during those years. 

Did you have the obligatory bouffant hair-do at the time though @mudslide73 ;

I had the full Daltrey/Plant ringlets mate @equalsql . In fact I was told I looked a lot like a young Hetfield - again not much use in a college full of trendies.

In your defence we're closer to 2040 than 1990 so I'll forgive you... :-)

My university days were very much soundtracked by Ash (Free All Angels, mostly) and Snow Patrol (songs for polar bears and when it's all over... - - - i.e. Before they got rubbish)

Same for me. And Rage Against the Machine and Use Your Illusion if I remember correctly. 

Being a huge DL fan, I listened a lot to Adrenalize too.

That you on the left? You look more like Dave Mustaine.

Grunfeld

Hmmmm..... two come straight to mind...
Sisters of Mercy, Floodland.  Loved "This Corrosion"   a load of old nonsense but liked it.  Still sort of like it.



And Philip Glass, "Koyaanisqatsi"  which has definitely stood the test of time.

Vol 4, by Black Sabbath. What an album. It might still be in my top 10.

81-84, and I can't remember what my favourite albums were then except to say that it's reasonably certain they weren't released between 81 and 84.

Thinking about it, probably:
Led Zep 1-4
Taste's On The Boards
Deep Purple's Machine Head
Groundhogs' Split.
Blues breakers, John Mayall with Eric Clapton

At college (it was 2002) I rediscovered grunge. During that period I listened to everything from The Melvins to Screaming Trees. 

"Apple" by Mother Love Bone was the most played album.

Gassage

Tough one, but...

Rattus Norvegicus- Stranglers.

I left school and started as an apprentice sparky in 1991. There was some pretty good rock music around that time. The tail end of hair metal & the beginning of grunge. However the album that done it for me around that time was The Black Crowes - Shake Your Money Maker.

Travisthedog

Blood Sugar Sex Magik - Chilis 
I wore out 2 tapes in 3 years

I was a mature student so didn't do it that way. But at the trad college age for me , it was GnR, Faster Pussycat, LA Guns, Dogs D'Amour and the Quireboys (and that's how we looked).  

CHRISB50

Ocean Colour Scene - Moseley Shoals

I went to college dressed in a 3 piece suit, wearing a parka, in the mid 90s. I stood out a fair bit lol. Most people thought I was a lecturer.

I didn't go to college..... left school at sixteen and got a job at Studiospares when they were still in Camden Town. 
My commute from Uxbridge to Camden every day was accompanied mostly by Vio-Lence's Eternal Nightmare album. 

You should see the baseball shirt I got a couple of months ago.

In 6th form in was in a death metal band so in was listening to stuff like Morbid Angel, Autopsy, Atheist, Carcass and so on, as well as Maiden and Rainbow. Trouble was a massive discovery atbthe town and then the demos from Anathema and At The Gates.
