Is September 24th 1991 the greatest day in music history?

[Supernaut]

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'. 

[Bassybert]

That's a pretty decent day for music releases ☺️

No. I have almost no interest in any of those bands or records.

[Eldon Tyrell]

And it is also the late Mark Sandman's birthday.

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.

Trompe Le Monde - Cracking Album, played that to death.  U-Mass, what an awesome song.

[Eldon Tyrell]

Here is a quite extensive overview of some more albums that got released on the same day. My fav combos: 

 

March 8, 1994: Soundgarden ‘Superunknown and Nine Inch Nails, 'The Downward Spiral' 

 

Sept 29, 1992: Alice in Chains, 'Dirt' and Stone Temple Pilots, 'Core'

That's a pretty awesome days listening.

I was delighted when I noticed that Rio and Pornography were released within a week of each other

RHCP and Pixies both released their last good albums on the same day?

It doesn't feel like 30 years.

Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magik would have been better if they'd included Soul to Squeeze on it as originally planned.

[Doctor J]

13th of February, 1970. Everything else is a footnote in history compared to it 😉

[Bix]

I'm glad you included The Low End Theory because that was the only one I actually bought on release ... on cassette.

True but it was still one of the all time great rock albums.

I'm not sure but I'll guess Black Sabbath's first album? The most important album ever released ever in the history of the universe and the birth of heavy metal 

[spongebob]

'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.

[Marvin]

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)

That's the one 😍

The greatest day in music history?

 

🤣

[Yango]

No. 

[NancyJohnson]

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

 

 

[Nail Soup]

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.

 

 

[Nail Soup]

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.

These will be eclipsed by the imminent 50th anniversary of Electric Warrior

 

no milage variation, couldnt care less if contains traces of nuts
