In reply to Nstolpy. You have discovered that Hip Hop and Rap are the chinks in my musical armor. While I have an intellectual appreciates of the genres, they aren't anything I can discuss with any amount of authority or insight.

You really skimped on hip-hop – Enter the Wu Tang, The Chronic, A Tribe Called Quest’s “Midnight Marauders”, Digable Planets’ “Reachin'”, De La Soul “Buhloon Mindstate” & Snoop Dogg “Doggystyle”. Classic. And, yeah… I am still loving me some Counting Crows. Top to bottom my favorite album to sing along to as I sob into my pillow like a middle school girl after a soc-hop

In reply to Doug. I haven't checked out 1992, but the '91 release list is filled with the last gasps of 80s pop and just the earliest hints of the coming grunge epidemic.

While there's certainly plenty of noteworthy releases for that year, I must admit glancing at that list of albums does not fill me with a feeling of Oh yeah that was the one. I'm not sure what year I'd tout instead, but then, I'm not really one to do that sort of analysis; however, it does seem like '91 or '92 may be slightly more laudable merely because of how that's when "alternative" crossed over, and arguably that's what defined music in the Gen X era. On another note: The allusion to "14 Songs" did make me think about how I missed out when Paul toured that year, which I expanded upon in this post. Perhaps that's what colors my impressions of 1993 more than anything that actually came out.
