Also when SNES came out. Was too poor to own one but all my rich friends were excited lol.

Also low end theory from the tribe trumps all that rock stuff

Maybe if you’re looking for a backtrack for amateur skin flicks.

As an equal opportunity offender, a 1991 HS graduate, and a lifelong metal head, the only one of TL’s tapes I bought was Metallica and I’ve never liked a single song of theirs since.

Rock on.

HA! not my tapes – just saw this online. But I owned ALL these Tapes or CDs at one time in my life. And even if you don’t like some of them, you cant deny their contribution to the Rock & Roll Canon. It was a big year for gross sales, no doubt

UYI – I and II were so intriguing. 5 or 6 MONSTER songs with about 20 other weird songs in-between. It was the beginning of a very ugly end for G&R.

Also this mix sort of signifies the end of the Heavy Metal era and the ushering in of Grunge and Alt rock. I was 13 years old and beginning to come into my own and it was a great time to be getting into music.

I couldn’t escape hearing those bands. Grunge and Alternative were all over the radio and I liked a lot of it. They just weren’t what I’d add to my cassette collection. I had Appetite for Destruction in 8th grade but was already into heavier stuff, like Master Of Puppets and Reign In Blood, then South Of Heaven and And Justice For All in 88. I shared a bedroom with my brother who was five years older than me and he was an Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Van Halen guy. In 91 I was all into Megadeth’s Rust In Peace and Slayer’s Seasons In The Abyss. I actually got sick to my stomach when I heard Metallica’s Unforgiven the first time. I still make fun of it. “Why don’t you just cry about it, James?” I went one way and they went the other way, but it’s their music and they’re still the top selling metal band since the 80’s, so what do I know?

The 90s were an amazing time for music and no matter how often another genre may turn my head, I’ll always be a 90s alternative chick at heart!

Nirvana, Hole, NIN, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Weezer, Green Day, Foo Fighters, No Doubt, The Offspring, Tool, Garbage…. too many to count still on my playlists!

Same here… 90’s alternative and grunge all the way. Green Day, weezer and fallout boy target field in a few weeks…

OK, I guess I lied. I had The Offspring’s Smash. How can you not like:
The more you suffer
The more it shows you really care

I’d also rank Sober from Tool in the top 10 best songs ever.

Not sure what blows my mind more, that those were all released 30 years ago, or that was the last the Twins WS year and last championship for a MN team.

Also, kind of shows the carrying power or how slowly things progressed back then, as I was 9 then and still bought half of those albums when I started buying albums in 1993. And I know that bc Whoomp there it is single was one of my first albums along with AC/DC live…50% ain’t bad!

Thanks for having a sense of humor. I actually had to Google “low end theory from tribe” because I had no idea what you meant. It sure sounded like a NSFW video was about to get me in trouble, even though I’m working from home the last 15 months.

That’s cool. I was a year out of high school in 91. Lucky I lived this long. Great tunes, although I will not say the best era of Rock. But still some super music.

I’m sorry to hear that
But knotfest is coming to Iowa we are going September 25th and lamb of God is the 27th

So much yes! Had all of those tapes. So glad I grew up a grunge kid

Sitting here listening to a cover band about a block away at the Fri night car show in Manawa, WI. Just heard respectable covers of Don’t Need Nothing But A Good Time (Poison), Runaway (Bon Jovi), Comfortably Numb (Pink Floyd), Don’t Stop Believing (REO), All Over You (Live), I Don’t Wanna Lose Your Love Tonight (Outfield) and quite a few others. Right now they’re doing a decent version of Never Been Any Reason (Head East) so they’ve got a pretty decent catalog of 70’s – 90’s. If I wasn’t so lazy and kind of drunk I might have walked down there.
