Under the Bridge - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Damn this was a tough vote.

God, that was a shitty year for tunes

Alive - Pearl Jam
Nirvana hit at the end of the year if I recall. The joke was that kids were getting the new Michael Jackson album for Christmas and were asking their parents to exchange it for Nirvana. Pearl Jam would get a bump shortly afterwards.
I debated between Smells and Alive but sided with Alive.

Come as You Are - Nirvana
Shitty metric by 1991 for determining if there was great music happening.
None of the classic rock albums of 1991 - of which there were many - had Top 100 type singles.
The was an album oriented rock era as it gets.

Singles died with the 60s
Tell someone under 50 that you had a collection of 45s and see if they know what you're talking about
My dad had 78s when we were growing up. Big band stuff
33s reigned for over a decade before CDs

I was just looking back to see if there were any annoying guitar riffs that could have been used for Write Ins. I almost pulled "Losing My Religion" as a Mandolin riff.
Some years the Billboard Hot 100 would be IT for great music — specifically mid 80s stuff. Some years, not so much.

Come as You Are - Nirvana
Look back to 1981….
Great stuff.

F.O. Row Peter Puffer, you left off...
The Black Album has 5 better riffs than "Enter Sandman". I could almost say the same for Nirvana, but both of those are more "iconic" than "best" i.e. everyone knows them in 3 notes.
Listing the Chili Peppers in any guitar "riff list" is super gay/criminal. Voting for them is grounds for removal forever.
The admins also need to remove access for anyone who votes "Shiny Happy People".
"Rusty Cage" and "Alive" are legit entries.
