Supernaut Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Released 30 years ago today... Nirvana’s “Nevermind,” The Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magik,” The Pixies “Trompe Le Monde” and A Tribe Called Quest’s “The Low End Theory.” Soundgarden's "Badmotorfinger" was also supposed to be released on this date but was postponed by two weeks due to 'production problems'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassybert Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 That's a pretty decent day for music releases ☺️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Is September 24th 1991 the greatest day in music history? No. I have almost no interest in any of those bands or records. 9 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meterman Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 No, but that Pixies album and ATCQ one were decent. “Screamadelica” was released in the same week and I’d take that over any of the titles in the 24/09/1991 list I’ve seen knocking around online. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munurmunuh Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I was delighted when I noticed that Rio and Pornography were released within a week of each other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveXFR Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 RHCP and Pixies both released their last good albums on the same day? It doesn't feel like 30 years. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor J Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 13th of February, 1970. Everything else is a footnote in history compared to it 😉 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bix Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I'm glad you included The Low End Theory because that was the only one I actually bought on release ... on cassette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spongebob Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 'The Low End Theory' is the standout of that day for me - the other 3 leave me a bit cold, TBH. I'm still digging out new-to-me jazz albums now where I'll catch a snippet, and realise that I first heard it on TLET. Introduced me to a whole world of stuff I'd never have otherwise been exposed to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 As like @BigRedXneither the artists or albums interest me in the slightest. I can say I definitely don't own any of them, and I've only heard Nevermind (because my brother owned it, and played it continuously, when we both lived at our parents) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyJohnson Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Nah from me too. Many of my mates seemed to have been bewitched by that album; I couldn't work out why. They were carried along on this faux (well, on their part) wave of Nirvana euphoria; the desperation of really having to like that album when you knew they absolutely detested it. And don't get me started about hidden tracks, it's there in plain site, FFS. I doubt I've actually listened to it all the way through since having to endure a 45+ minute car journey with one of the aforementioned mates 30-odd years ago. The nail in the Nirvana coffin for me was the constant rotation of one or two videos on MTV (when they used to play music videos)...you just reached saturation point 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nail Soup Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 The Nirvana and Pixies albums I bought and loved at the time, but they have have not endured in my listening to today. But can still appreciate the quality. RHCP peppers I generally don't like, but cant ay I actually know the album. I Don't know the TCQ album, so can't comment, but they sound OK on the occasional radio plays I hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nail Soup Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Best day ever? I'll stick with the OP premise that the best day can be defined by simultaneous album releases. I'd need to find the release date of all my favourite albums/artists plus some other classic/landmark albums and see how they lined up. I'll let you know when I've done that. Don't hold your breathe!

Out of those albums I have to say that BSSM is the only one I got bored with as the album played. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-bbb Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 These will be eclipsed by the imminent 50th anniversary of Electric Warrior no milage variation, couldnt care less if contains traces of nuts 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
