You know I can’t disagree with this year being called the best in music history!! I also love that Ned’s is on your list. They were so ahead of the times with their debut!
Aw man now I know what I'm going to be playing while I paint the upstairs bedroom tonight! Thanks for your curatorial work! I was only seven years old in 1991 so I missed the feeling of hearing these songs when they were fresh.
Maybe not on the same spectrum but still a great 1991 release is Laughing Stock by Talk Talk. That album is fragile, poignant, fierce, and bottomless. My top record from that year.
i think once i tried to decide what the best year in music was and i came up with 1977 because that was the year that rumours came out? but i don’t think i agree with that take anymore, it’s too hard to determine “best” even within a year.
Usually, I overthink these sorts of things into oblivion... only to then do it all over again. This one was a little easier since it started as a "16 best from the year you turned 16" challenge.

Thought you might like this year! :)
Ned's blew us all away; we weren't ready for them!
Could you put a playlist together and share through your newsletter of songs made in 1991? I know you have a list going but a playlist would be dope!
Good call & thanks for suggesting it! I've added a playlist in above. I couldn't find anything online for Mule, but the rest are there.

Look for a review of that record from me shortly, and thanks for the recommendation!
Shadowtime!! That one immediately popped out at me when I was looking through the list. Sir, I doff my hat to you.
For me though, 2003-2008 were the glory years of discovery.
Thank you sir! :)
