So 1991 a great year of music or what?
i agree, a great year, but in my opinion '93 was still the best year of the '90s, certainly as far as albums go.
ReplyDeleteIn Utero, Siamese Dream, Vs, Bruce Springsteen's MTV Unplugged...
Plus, Hopeless Records formed. :)
Still, the '90s generally had some good stuff going on... if you overlook Britpop...
