After sexting with @GrundleStiltzkin I'm guessing I have probably listend to Achtung Baby a lot more than Ten or Nevermind. Those mormons love them some U2 and I went to HS with @89ute 's polygamy loving peeps.
 
I'm planning to do 2 album shit poles per day. Tomorrow will be 1966 and 1992, then 1967 and 1993...you get the picture. This was we can please the ok boomers, gen x bros and millennial douche canoes all at once.

Nothing pleases the millennials.

 
If REM gets any votes I'm gonna burn this motherfucker down. Faggiest, whiniest fucking band of all time and I hate them.
 
1991 being without question the greatest year of my life even though I didn't know it at the time (Redskins 14-2, SB Champ, Huskies 12-0, won natty and popped off), I include all of the music I like which was released then. Nevermind, Ten, Blood Sugar Sex Magik, the Black album, I never[/b] associate Achtung Baby with that year. I like U2, and I love that album and many of the songs on it, but it's not a 1991 album to me.

Into the Great Wide Open was also 1991, not one of Petty's best but warrants mentioning.

Yeah, but still it was a mediocre row boat season - ie 4th in the Natty race (Cincinnati regatta since UW still was in IRA hiatus).
 
Being the Boomer (NOT a sooner, FTG) that I am, I actually spent the early 90’s listening to a lot of jazz and blues...I was over U2, over G n’ R, and never dialed in to the angst and despair of Nirvana and SG, which was not really that different than PJ, but I could understand Kurt’s vocals, Eddie’s not so much. For me, PJ had a little more groove (prolly Cruzen / Abruzzese). Was exposed to Metallica, which is my #2 here. Ten grew on me, as has Nevermind, but Ten had a jump...Blast away!

I'm not a Boomer but I love Ten. If I had looked at this poll on a different day, I might have picked Nevermind.

I've always felt Pearl Jam was basically grunge packaged for classic rock bros. Alive is basically the Free Bird of the early 90s.

Top 40 friendly "grunge". Pearl Jam was the first band from that wave that I thought was ok at the time. That's how I know they suck.

Spot on...as I have learned over the years of the different likes and influences of the Seattle bands and musicians, PJ’s list is / was probably closest-aligned to my own, certainly in 91...Brah
 
Was really close. The last good (not great) Metallica album, or the epic from Soundgarden.... went with Metallica because Cornell is a quitter.
