What is your favorite alternative rock album from 1991?

Another great album was also Kings X "Faith Hope Love" an album not often liked by King`s X fans but for me one of their best. Again, we are talking hard rock here but given that the boundaries of alt.rock traverse so many styles at times it can be included.

You may argue amongst yourselves as to if any of them quality as 'alternative'...

The Fatima Mansions - Berties Brochures

I played the sh*t outta Nevermind growing up and Blood, Sugar, Sex, Majik wasn't very far behind. Other than that...I've listened to Sailing the Seas of Cheese on occasion, but the rest of what I see people linking I never really got into much, and haven't had any desire to since.

It's because I was a Microdisney fan first.

Sure it was a good year for music, but you can just talk about 91 in the album for each year you've been alive thread..

Because in one you list a bunch of albums spanning your whole life and in this one you talk about the music from 1991.
I don't see how having one negates the other, that's why it has it's own thread

A more interesting thread would be what everyone's favourite year in music was and why, 91 was good, but some might prefer other years.

Well they're free to start threads on that.

Like I said, I thought a more interesting thread would be what year people believe is the best for music, and what's their favourite album from that year as well.

If I started a thread about the favourite album from 94 and then someone decided to do another one about a different year, it'd get a bit silly.

Not that I'm too bothered, it's not a bad thread, just found it strange it was focused on 91, even though that's a great year (I was born!

Treepeople - Guilt Regret Embarrassment

A really great album from Doug Martsch's pre-Built to Spill band. They have solos J Mascis would be proud of.

Very good album but it's far from being a favorite of 91 for me. It's lacking something.
