Needs a poll
Done
The Replacements- Let It Be probably tips the balance towards 1984.
Only gave a flavour of each year… I’m sure someone like @farmerinthecity would say the Pixies would tip 1991
GNR - Use your illusion 1& 2, Chili Peppers -Blood sugar sex magik, Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger all released along with the Black album, Ten & Nevermind between August & September 91
GNR were hard to leave out but tried to balance the genres.
Two brilliant years for music. 91 was epic
1991 put the nail in coffin of Hair Metal, that seals it for me.
Got Use your illusion, a Walkman and a skate board for Christmas that year… proper badass
I couldn’t get my head around a double album. A completely alien concept. I wasn’t allowed to to Slane. Gutted I was.
