If you're going to pick a year in rock to glorify, you can do a lot better than 1991.

Clayton pretty much already made the point, but 1991 was important as he said because it was the pinnacle of grunge rock. All the other eras for the most part had a big year as well. However, since 1991 there really isn't another year that just defines an era of music. Hence the question "will rock ever experience another 1991?"

I could be wrong, but didnt Tool, Rage Against the Machine and Soundgarden all come out in 94? A much better year IMO, as the only band worth crap on the 91 "ballett" is Nirvana. I really like the black album, but it has alot of detractors, and for valid reasons.

Soundgarden had an album out in 91 actually, Rage in 92, not sure about Tool

[astroglide]

the black album is a pile of mediocre [censored] from start to finish

[Lazymeatball]

Alice in Chains put out an album in '90 and '92. I just feel they need to be included in this discussion somehow.

Nine inch Nails was also pretty active around this time.

Stone Temple Pilots put out their first album in '92.

And the Chilli Peppers put out an album in '91, but I believe they have been mentioned.
all in all, good times

1986 featured the release of Master of Puppets and Reign in Blood. Now that's a year.

You forgot Appetite For Destruction

Appetite was 87.

GNR are _not_ a 'MEH'.
The Black Album is pretty good, kids.

[daveymck]

Was appetite not 88/89?

That was a better time than 91 Justice came out, Seventh Son by Maiden, Operation Mindcrime by Queensryche, SOuth of Heaven by slayer and many many more.

The black album is ok I was dissapointed by it at the time but it is a good if incosistant album, for every Unforgiven there is a Wolf and Man.

1992 was Automatic for the People, so, well, its better than 1991.
