This was a pretty good year. The Modfather released his triumph, Wild Wood, The Auteurs, Blur and Suede invented Britpop, Urge Overkill's major label debut was blasting through every Trans Am still on the road and Evan Dando and his Lemonheads recorded and released their classic slacker 'bum Come On Feel The Lemonheads with the classic and very funny "My Drug Buddy". Oh yes, and Underworld unleashed Dubnobasswithmyheadman, a modern electro slow-burn classic!

Damn, the '90s were a fallow period for me. I have two of these albums, and know another three...
Which two? The 90's were a seminal point in my musical education, AMDWHAH, leading me both forward into the future and scrambling to the past to many great influential artists. I thought the 90's, especially early on, were some of the most musically creative years since the mid to late 60's. It's where the electronic experiments of Eno/ Kraftwerk finally matured into something a little more palatable for the masses, but not neccessarily in a commercial sugary way.
I would recommend delving into some of these, especially from 1991.
The two I have are the Lemonheads ands Nirvana albums.
My blind spot has to do with the fact that by 1993 LPs had been totally phased out in South Africa and I still resisted CDs, and radio stations didn't play much of that kind of music. In fact, all I heard hat year was Top 40 and lots of R&B and jazz fusion. And African music. Rock wise, all you'd get was stuff like Spin Doctors. So I fell off Planet Rock for a while.
