Red Hot Chili Peppers: Blood Sugar Sex Magik
Metallica: Metallica
Pearl Jam: Ten
Nirvana: Nevermind
U2: Achtung Baby

This article talks about how a great album Achtung Baby was lost with all the other releases that came out that year.

All those other albums were solid, but none of them made the panties drop like Achtung Baby...

That was a great year for music. My first year of high school. Nevermind was one of the first CDs I remember playing over and over again. I had all the others you listed as well.

SOOOOO underrated. I think I'll listen to Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses right now. Might follow it up with You're So Cruel. :cheers:

Tiger Ryno•149 months

Aching is highly underrated.

Love is blindness for the win.

Highly underrated tunes like acrobat and end of the world

Chicken•149 months

Ryno, nothing better than cranking up The Fly when The Edge jams out at the end...

tigersownall•149 months

I think it depends on the genre.

This was the 1st cd I ever bought. My brother just bought the new 20-year anniversary sets of Nevermind and Ten. I was amazed that not only had it been 20 years since their release, but that they both came out the same year. Solid work, '91. :bow: :bow:

Absolutely not. Great year. I remember hearing Alive for the FIRST time at HS talent show about a month before it hit all the airwaves and car stereos. I thought it was an origianl by the kids on stage. LOL.
I do however hate RHCP or their label for not being on Spotify for most part though. :banghead:

dpd901•149 months

The correct answer is no. There is not a better year than 1991. Throw in Guns and Roses Use Your Illusion 1 and 2.

RBWilliams8•149 months

Incubus was formed in '91. If that counts at all.

TulaneLSU•149 months

1771

Mozart: Symphonies 12, 13, 14 and his version of Miserere was published

Boccherini: String Quintet in E 11:5

Any one of these pieces destroys everything produced in 1991.

Placebeaux•149 months

Don't know if it's been posted yet but I say 1986

RedHawk•149 months

91 also had Smashing Pumpkins Gish.

But I think my vote goes to 1984, even thought that wasn't my style of music.
