1991
Another excellent year. As with 1990, a few favorites from back then have faded and made way for more recent favorites. RHCP and Primus would have been much higher on the list at the time - as Smashing Pumpkins, Mr. Bungle, and Dead Horse weren't discovered until the year after, with the rest coming in years later. It's kind of funny actually to even include RHCP - they went downhill so fast after this album, which to me was the peak of their career, and I don't find myself listening to this often if ever anymore. But I loved it that much at the time and still consider it a great album. There are lots of other great albums from 1991, I think I am letting nostalgia get the better of me with a few of these. Otherwise I might throw in later discoveries like Drive Like Jehu and...well honestly just about everything else I like from this year would be considered nostalgic. So there it is.
