Yes I've been saying for years that 1991 was an absolutely huge year for rock music for this exact reason.

Such a great year across all the sub genre's. Cheers for watching

What a year that was boulder mate. That’s the year I went full on metal! Started going to gigs my first was Motörhead and Saxon at Hammersmith odeon. Guns and roses were my band back then. Played them every day for a year at least! Special memories. Actually met them down kings road Chelsea the day I saw them at Wembley Stadium with soundgarden and faith no more. Great video James mate. 33 years ago mate! Damn

This stuff is my bread n butter. Something people seem to forget is Ten was PJs debut album, it's gotta be up there with the best debuts of all time.

That Soundgarden album is the only one I still listen to occasionally. Incredible. The Black album was a huge disappointment. 1. Badmotorfinger 2. Use Your Illusion I 3. Use Your Illusion II 4. Blood Sugar Sex Magic 5. Metallica 6. Nevermind 7. Ten

Good idea for a video this one. I just looked on Wiki. Seems No More Tears was also released within those days too. I played all those albums hundreds of times back then.

Cheers Mike. 91 was such a great year. Probably Death Metal's best year and still some excellent Glam coming out towards the end of its life span too. Played all these to death too as well

Summer 91 was a great year. I was a young teen i got to see some great bands live in the UK Donnington, GNR + Skids at Wembley and Skid Row again later on in the year.

@@mrboulder9714 was a great gig, Was lucky both times i seen GNR in the early 90s Izzy played with them in the UK

I would add *Europe's 'Prisoners in Paradise'* to this list - it was released one week after Use your Illusion and it sold one million in total. It is a criminally underrated album and would have been much bigger, if it wasn't for the grunge takeover. It is very well produced, go and check it out if you dont know it!

@@mrboulder9714 Yes, do it! :) Amazing guitar work on that album. Especially on the title track, and track #2. Just got an original vinyl copy of it last week...

It was a great year. Ozzy’s No more Tears and Queen’s Innuendo also came out!

2 more great albums. 91 was such a great year for music. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers

Awesome video, those albums hold many great memories. I was just being my Junior year in High School in 1991 and all these albums was basically my soundtrack back then. Great ranking, I agree with every position you have ranked these in.

Really cool idea for a video. Lots of good memories for me associated with most of those albums. Not a massive fan of Nirvana myself, butI do love 'Bleach' and 'Nevermind'. I have a very ambivalent relationship with the black album: on the one hand I love it because it's so simple and accessible but on the other hand I've always been very disappointed in it because because the songs are simple and slow compared to previous releases.

It was an amazing time for music wasn't it Kim. So many great albums released in such a short amount of time. Cheers mate

Could you do a ranking video of the entire Chili Peppers back catalogue? That would be very entertaining ha ha!

That won't be happening mate 😂 Cheers Mike

1. BADMOTORFINGER 2. NEVERMIND 3. TEN 4. The Black Album 5. BloodSugarSexMagic 6. Use Your Illusion I 7. Use Your Illusion II My top three are locked in solid but interchangeable. Great video, great channel...! Cheers 🍻

Great review , my favorite all time vocalist is Chris Cornel so I am biased for Soundgarden , love the Black album sure Metallica was going in a different direction but I think it’s great , GNR is musically a fantastic album but I just never was into Axl’s vocals but that first was groundbreaking for sure , cheers from USA Mr Boulder 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 👍🏻

Chris Cornell's voice was out of this world, amazing range. The Black album is a beast and doesn't deserve the hate. Cheers for watching fella. Much appreciated

Great idea for a video, Mr B. Out of these seven, I would probably pick Ten at number 1 just ahead of the Black album. I do love the black album, but at the time, Pearl Jam were a breath of fresh air from all the thrash I was listening to. The only 1 of these I don't have is the RHCP one, but I was never really a fan.

I prefer Use Your Illusion 2 to 1 but I remember my mate at the time liked 1 better. Agree that Estranged is excellent and I like Civil War too. Nevermind, Ten and the Black Album are excellent they all remind me of Uni. 10 Commandments by Malevolant Creation was released in this period too. Also Testimony of the Ancients by Pestilence.

It was an amazing 6 weeks to produce so many great albums. That Malevolent Creation is great but that Pestilence album is absolutely stunning. Cheers fella

Congrats on not listening to the critics and putting the Black Album where it belongs. What’s notable about these albums (besides Use Your Illusion) is that they represent each band at their commercial and artistic peak. 6. Use Your Illusion I&II 5. Ten 4. Blood Sugar 3. Nevermind 2. Black Album 1. Badmotorfinger

Excellent ranking James! The only thing I'll change is that Soundgarden album be in the top 3 instead. But otherwise, it's all good.

Agree with a higher ranking for BMF (not surprisingly!) but understand why some prefer Superunknown in terms of Soundgarden albums. Both epic!

7 albums which I don't have 6 of them I do have Metallica's Black album the only one of the 7 I have!!!! so we agree that the Black album is the best for 1991!!! I have it on cd.!

Ok, this is a cool idea. 1. Metallica - Metallica 2. Guns N' Roses - Use Your Illusion 1 3. Guns N' Roses - Use Your Illusion 2 4. Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger 5. Pearl Jam - Ten 6. Nirvana - Nevermind 7. Red Hit Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik It's funny, almost everyone agrees that the Illusion albums have a ton of filler. But other than My World and the alternate Don't Cry, there seems to be no general consensus as to what the filler is. Cheers!

You should rank all the albums where thrash bands changed their sound in the 90s. Black album, Hidden Treasures, Force of Habit, Sound of White Noise, The Ritual, ect. 🤘

Hi James!! Cool idea and so cool to see this albums, had no idea about the release dates, such big records all in just 44 days....I really think you're right about RHCP after "Blood Sugar....." it all went down, they became a lame an boring band, but to me i think Soundgarden should be higher maybe at N°3 and might be the only one i still listen.... cheers and be well

Great video. My favorite Black album track nowadays is Through The Never. I have both Use Your Illusion Illusion albums. I spin em once in a while. Favorite tracks from those are November Rain and Estranged. I lost interest in Grunge and the Chilis a long time ago.

Good albums the 2 GNR albums could have been trimmed to one really good album IMO. Soundgarden is a incredible album and of course the Black album is a monster of a record!

Thanks for the video… very interesting list. Ironically, after RHCP released What Hits?! in 1992 (which was excellent), they started producing hit songs for radio… that generally sucked 🤔 As for the Black album, I don’t rate it highly not because the band decided to do something different. From the first listen on its release to this day, I still don’t hate it, but don’t love it either. It has a lot of filler for me, apart from the really strong tracks like Sad But True, Holier Than Thou, The Unforgiven and Enter Sandman. Pound for pound doesn’t hold up compared to BadMotorFinger or even Nevermind for me.

Really decent idea for a list, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I completely disagreed with the ranking, but still...

Can you say the same about 2001?

I am going to be extremely boring here, but the Black Album is no where near any of the GNR albums. I'm an old school Metallica fan, adore the first 4 albums, but the black album has no epic track, no long lasting tracks like Illusions do. The black Album is generic as fuck.

Can't stand G n R Use your illusion 2!Never heard 1..It's so loud and over produced!Total sh*t!Now Pearl Jam's TEN!Brilliant!
