Nevermind - NirvanaAfter sexting with @GrundleStiltzkin I'm guessing I have probably listend to Achtung Baby a lot more than Ten or Nevermind. Those mormons love them some U2 and I went to HS with @89ute 's polygamy loving peeps.

Nevermind - NirvanaI'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.

Use Your Illusion I & II - G n' RIf REM gets any votes I'm gonna burn this motherfucker down. Faggiest, whiniest fucking band of all time and I hate them.

Nevermind - Nirvana1991 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. -
Nevermind - Nirvana
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).whlinder said: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.

Ten - Peal JamBeing 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 - SoundgardenAs a drummer, Badmotorfinger is the best drummer album of the 90's.
-
Ten - Peal Jam
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.Fishpo31 said: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.

Use Your Illusion I & II - G n' RI voted based on my 18-year self's favorite at the time. Ten and Never Mind are probably tied for 47-year old me.

Nevermind - Nirvana
I've always felt Pearl Jam was basically grunge packaged for classic rock bros. Alive is basically the Free Bird of the early 90s.Fishpo31 said: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.

Top 40 friendly "grunge". Pearl Jam was the first band from that wave that I thought was ok at the time. That's how I know they suck.YellowSnow said:

Ten - Peal Jam
Spot on...as I have learned over the years of the different likes and influences of the Seattle bands and musicians, PJ’s list is / was probably closest-aligned to my own, certainly in 91...BrahYellowSnow said:

Metallica (Black Album) - MetallicaWas really close. The last good (not great) Metallica album, or the epic from Soundgarden.... went with Metallica because Cornell is a quitter.
-
Nevermind - NirvanaHell of a year for rock.
Hard to top this shit though.

Metallica (Black Album) - MetallicaThe "Enter Sandman" intro is arguably the best intro of all-time

using "can please" and "all at once" in the same sentence? -
F.O., Row Peter Puffer, it's...
The Cure is my favorite band. When I was young, dumb and full of cum I fucked my girlfriend to the entirety of this album. CSB, I know. I would easily blow halfway through the first song now. It's almost 7 minutes long so I feel I'm still doing pretty good.
I don't have any pics, I'll just show myself out. -

It was 1995. Not really Emo, more hippy? We had a lot in common. In fact, we both married women.YellowSnow said:

Bad Motorfinger - SoundgardenI would have voted for Temple Of The Dog just about any other year. Just listened to it last night for the first time in ages; what an incredible album.
1991 was truly special. -
Achtung Baby - U2

This should be the new state song, if not national anthem. -

Nevermind - NirvanaI feel like 91 should get 3 albums into my shitty tournament but we’re fucking log jamming hard between 2nd through 5th place.

Do a runoff pole. Once the Nevermind vote gets to select their next favorite I bet you'll see some separation in the contenders.YellowSnow said:I feel like 91 should get 3 albums into my shitty tournament but we’re fucking log jamming hard between 2nd through 5th place.
