Ongoing History of New Music encore presentation: The amazing year that was 1991.
[This is the last of the summer encore shows. The new season starts next week! – AC]
A couple of times in a lifetime, there comes a year when everything seems to change. If you were around in 1991, you’ll remember how everything seemed to turn upside down–but in a good way.
Nirvana released Nevermind. Pearl Jam came out with Ten. Soundgarden issued Badmotorfinger. The Red Hot Chili Peppers finally broke through with Bloodsugarsexmagick. Metallica’s black album. Achtung Baby and the whole Zoo-TV concept from U2. The first-ever Lollapalooza tour. See what I mean? This week’s episode highlights one of the greatest years in music ever.
Songs heard on this show include:
- REM, Losing My Religion
- Smashing Pumpkins, I Am One
- Jane’s Addiction, Jane Says (live)
- Pearl Jam, Alive
