Lots of great indie and alternative music still being made today.

Word for word right out of the reddit hipster manual.
Really? I'm no hipster but developed a lust for new music from my college DJ days. College radio...you should try it. IMO, it beats the hell out of listening to the same old songs you've heard 100's of times.
It does take an open mind, however.

What has happened to the music world?
That is simple... MTV made actors and models into musical acts. Prior to the late 80s-early 90s, musicians had to earn their stripes. They played live 100 times a year and perfected their craft. The best sounding ones got radio airplay. When videos first started, the existing musicians were shown. Eventually, execs wanted hotter people on TV. They started putting people on TV and the radio because they were hot or rapped. Music quality hasn't recovered.
By the way - while the 1991 list was great, virtually every year in the 80s had a list that good or better.

NWA made the list in 1991.

Wasn’t huge fan of either GnR offering.
I thought they had a chance to be a kickass group
You thought the group that had arguably the greatest debut album in rock history had a chance, huh? You should have been a talent scout.
BTW, the Illusion albums are masterpieces in which the diversity shows how talented G&R was at that point. The core was all 30 years old and younger and stood to only get better...ignoring The Great Spaghetti Incident that is. We lost out on tons of great music because of Axl's ego.
Out of the list in the OP Nirvana aged the worst IMO. I understand why 12 year old me liked it but it has lost appeal for me over the years.
Ten is also on my list of greatest debut albums ever.

Today’s music just seems all the same with little variety.
It's all pop-rap shite with auto-tune. It's even infiltrated country music.

Use Your Illusion should have just been one album. A lot of filler on both of those albums, with some great songs on both of them.
As usual, Spleen has a shite take on something
Those albums are cover to cover great tunes.

Don’t blame the music industry. They wouldn’t have kept pumping that crap out if people weren’t buying it.

GTFO out that there isn’t good music …. You either are too dumb or lazy to know where to find it then.
And don’t blame rap - if you were throwing a party would now you put on Pearl Jam or god help me the RHCP ? Or some mid 90’s Outkast ? (And I saw Pearl Jam open for RHCP in 1991 so was a fan) …
Turn off mainstream radio and do some exploring … it’s out there and on a global level

not the subject of the post, at all, we were talking about successful debut albums and blown opportunities

Not all rap's fault.
Too many bands sold their souls to become rich.
Good music is still around, you just have to find it.

Sep 91 was my first semester in college. What a time to be alive.
Yep...1991, great year. Spent most of the year in Guatemala.

New Jack Swing was thriving too
Plus you had some great adult contempo and 90s country bangers

Pearl Jam "Ten", for me, may have aged the best.
So today is the day I break TD's down vote record.
Pearl Jam is the most overrated band of all time. The music is great, but I could never get past the lead singer's mush mouth. Who even knows what the dude is saying 75% of the time?

That year in particular was 1988. I have my physical music collection cataloged and 1988 is the clear winner in terms of quality and quantity.
My kind of music held strong through 1991, arguably into 1992 just riding the wave of all those albums discussed in the article, but by 1993 it was all over. The industry itself decided to kill off hard rock music as a culturally acceptable genre. I found myself in high school and everyone was suddenly listening to Dave Matthews and Blues Traveler. I'm not going to sit here and bash that stuff -- I've ridden on a Mardi Gras float with Dave himself -- but that music was not my cup of tea.

I can top that.

surprising amount of depth and interesting lyrics.
That time was in my prime youth and loved the music. "Nutshell" by AIC is one of my favorite songs of all time.
BUT,
are you honestly trying to convince this board that you can understand a word Eddie sings?
