I have decided that it is necessary to exorcise my demons. As some of you are aware, I have a rather [un]healthy obsession with early 90s rock, or 'grunge' if you prefer. The genre is, as far as I am concerned, the peak of musical output in my lifetime. Consequently, I have decided to do a run-down (in no particular order) of what I consider to be the essential albums of the era. I have laid down two basic rules to follow in my essential guide:
- I can only use a band once (thereby preventing a glut of Pearl Jam albums!!!)
- The albums must have been released between 1989 - 1995
With that in mind, every Sunday I will review one of the albums I consider to be essential to any grunge lovers album collection. I will be interested to hear the views of everyone who shares a love for this seminal period in music. |
