[mongers]

God, we are old.

Speak for yourself. I wasn't even 6 then.

But now you're over 30. 

Actually, I'm still 30.

But you've lived more than 30 years and are currently part way through you 31st year on earth.

Yes, I guess we do describe newborns as being one year old.

garbon:  a cunty cunt at any cunt age.

[derspiess]

What's more striking than it being 25 years ago is that I'm more than twice as old as I was then.

And today's music sucks.

Low End Theory by Tribe called Quest was also released same day.

[Barrister]

Wasn't aware they came out the same day. Somehow in my life map Blood Sugar Sex Magik came earlier, 

RHCP was a slightly more established band, and I think the album sold fairly quickly.  Nirvana was a complete unknown and Nevermind took some time to build.

Actually you are wrong (and not just for refusing to crop your quotes). If you are past your 30th birthday, this means you have lived on the planet for over 30 years - just as a child who is past his or her first birthday has lived on the planet for over 1 year.

My favorite watering hole in Barcelona is a 1990s-themed pub called "Nervermind". That's probably sad, isn't it?

Maybe BSSM charted first in Spain, hard to check that. But I distinctly remember RHCP being huge in my group of friends ("Get it away" was a smash), and Nirvana coming after that.

Well Chili Peppers were around since 1983 and had released 4 albums prior.

[Syt]

("Get it away" was a smash)

I suppose you meant, "Give It Away"?

[celedhring]

("Get it away" was a smash)

I suppose you meant, "Give It Away"?

Hey, it was a long time ago! 

True story, the song became immensely popular around my group of friends, listening to it on the radio, and until I got my parents to buy the record (I was 13 and without my own income :p), we had to figure out the song title from the chorus, with rather unfortunate guesses.

Other notable albums of 1991: Metallica's self titled album (the black one), Guns'n'Roses - Use Your Illusion I & II, Pearl Jam's Ten, R.E.M.'s Out Of Time, Michael Jackson's Dangerous, Genesis's We Can't Dance, Skid Row's Slave To The Grind, ...

[Delirium]

True, Guns'n'Roses were also huge, but as far as I can remember they did not really "change" the music scene the way Nirvana and their ilk did. Hard to imagine late 80's and early 90's without them though.

Yeah, Guns 'n' Roses were, in many ways, the last of the "hair bands".  A bit more hard-edged than almost any other hair band, but pretty much the sub-genre they fit into.
