    I'm planning to do 2 album shit poles per day. Tomorrow will be 1966 and 1992, then 1967 and 1993...you get the picture. This was we can please the ok boomers, gen x bros and millennial douche canoes all at once.

    Nothing pleases the millennials.

    Nevermind - Nirvana
    1991 being without question the greatest year of my life even though I didn't know it at the time (Redskins 14-2, SB Champ, Huskies 12-0, won natty and popped off), I include all of the music I like which was released then. Nevermind, Ten, Blood Sugar Sex Magik, the Black album, I never associate Achtung Baby with that year. I like U2, and I love that album and many of the songs on it, but it's not a 1991 album to me.

    Into the Great Wide Open was also 1991, not one of Petty's best but warrants mentioning.

    Yeah, but still it was a mediocre row boat season - ie 4th in the Natty race (Cincinnati regatta since UW still was in IRA hiatus).

    Ten - Peal Jam
    Being the Boomer (NOT a sooner, FTG) that I am, I actually spent the early 90’s listening to a lot of jazz and blues...I was over U2, over G n’ R, and never dialed in to the angst and despair of Nirvana and SG, which was not really that different than PJ, but I could understand Kurt’s vocals, Eddie’s not so much. For me, PJ had a little more groove (prolly Cruzen / Abruzzese). Was exposed to Metallica, which is my #2 here. Ten grew on me, as has Nevermind, but Ten had a jump...Blast away!

    Bad Motorfinger - Soundgarden
    As a drummer, Badmotorfinger is the best drummer album of the 90's.

    I'm not a Boomer but I love Ten. If I had looked at this poll on a different day, I might have picked Nevermind.
