1991 was a banner year for rock releases.

Stern has done a great job the last few weeks talking about all the albums to come out within months of each other that year. My favorite music is still from that time frame.
I was at Lalapalooza in 92. Stellar line up. By far the best concert I’ve ever been at.

RHCP, Nirvana, and PJ on that NYE at the Cow Palace was an epic night. I wish I could remember more of it

feeling the energy knowing the place was gonna go next level mosh on
I did all the og lalapolazas but theres no way an outdoor all day show held the energy of that night."When the child was a child it waited patiently for the first snow and it still does"- Van "The Man" Morrison

"THIS IS WHAT WE DO"-AML -ski on in eternal peace

So when I tell my kids that music was better when I was young I’m not just some old man ranting?

Things were changing fast.
It was so different
A childhood of family trouble and organized sports and Reagan and 80s stuff quickly transitioning to that pnw sound and skiing and mountain biking and time and space to my own. The shift in the culture dovetailed big changes in my self and my life. Like a cool front blowing the stale hot gross smog away.

All apologies to Nirvana, but this post caused me to delve deeper into 1991 and daaaaaaaaamn, it was a great year for rap. So many amazing and influencual rap albums were released that year--many of which I still heavily spin today--that I feel it ain't too hyperbolic to deem it one of the greatest years ever for rap music...
I already listed a few in Post #20 above, but here are some that came out earlier in 1991:
Gang Starr - Step in the Arena
3rd Bass - Derelicts of Dialect
Ice-T - O.G. Original Gangster
NWA - Efil4zaggin
Poor Righteous Teachers - Pure Poverty
Downtown Science - Downtown Science
De La Soul - De La Soul Is Dead
Dream Warriors - And Now The Legacy Begins
Main Source - Breaking Atoms
Get Boys - We Can't Be Stopped
Ice Cube - Death Certificate...(Not that you care, but I wrote my undergrad thesis on Ice Cube: "From Gangsta to 5 Percenter: A Rhetorical Analysis of Ice Cube.")
DJ Quik - Quik Is The Name
Ed O.G. and Da Bulldogs - Life of a Kid in the Ghetto
KMD - Mr. Hood
Compton's Most Wanted - Straight Checkin' 'Em
WC & The MAAD Circle - Ain't A Damn Thang ChangedLast edited by dookey67; 09-26-2021 at 09:52 AM.

I've heard of less than half of those.
"fuck off you asshat gaper shit for brains fucktard wanker." - Jesus Christ
"She was tossing her bean salad with the vigor of a Drunken Pop princess so I walked out of the corner and said.... "need a hand?"" - Odin
"everybody's got their hooks into you, fuck em....forge on motherfuckers, drag all those bitches across the goal line with you." - (not so) ill-advised strategy
