I don't think every thread has to be master-planned. An idea came about from another thread, a new thread was started and it's a worthy discussion. Done.

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.

I was 16 in 1991 and I was into the usual alternative rock bands at the time. I won't choose a favorite but I can make a list of favorites from a year of so many good albums. And I'll even limit this to favorite albums that I was actually listening to in 1991:

Loveless by MBV
Sebadoh III
The Pod by Ween
Gish by Smashing Pumpkins
Trompe le Monde by Pixies
and, yes, Nevermind by Nirvana

I'll be happy to do it if you'll give me the list of bands.

Unless of course you want me to make up my own list.

In order.



Not much to say, I just adore this album and I know that contradicts my passionate hatred for everything indie but whatever.



Not as big of a Nirvana nut as a used to be, a few years ago and this would have been number one.



Urban and Right Track deserve the credit for getting me interested in this album, an genius mix of house, psychedelia and Sticky Fingers era Stones. A very unique band for sure.



A band everyone loves to hate, I dunno why, even if you don't like Pearl Jam, they have always struck me as a band that genuinely love what they do and have a strong connection enough connection with their fans they don't feel the need to promote themselves the way most bands do, doing music videos, commercials and what not. They have retained their dignity much longer than other bands from their era, that's worth something. Anyway, they have a lot of good albums but this will always be their peak for me.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge - Mudhoney
Gish - Smashing Pumpkins
Goat - The Jesus Lizard
Green Mind - Dinosaur Jr.

Loveless - My Bloody Valentine
Mental Jewelry - Live
Mr. Bungle - Mr. Bungle
My Brain Hurts - Screeching Weasel
Nevermind - Nirvana
No Pocky for Kitty - Superchunk
Out of Time - R.E.M.
Pocket Full of Kryptonite - Spin Doctors
The Reality of my Surroundings - Fishbone
Sailing the Seas of Cheese - Primus
Screamadelica - Primal Scream
Steady Diet of Nothing - Fugazi
Temple of the Dog - Temple of the Dog
Ten - Pearl Jam
Trompe Le Monde - Pixies
Wretch - Kyuss



I'd say I made a pretty good list...

It came off as pretty soulless funk/rock to me. Especially the singles.
