In the short year that the Decibel Geek podcast has existed, some of our more popular episodes have been our Year in Review shows. We have received some great feedback from all over the world about our 1975 and 1983 episodes and this week we head to the 90’s as we focus on a truly transitional year in rock music in 1991.
Chris and Aaron are spinning a plethora of their favorite songs from 1991 and you’re sure to hear lots of stuff you may have missed while radio stations were shoving Bryan Adams and Amy Grant down your throat. While the glam to grunge overnight transition took place in September with the release of Nirvana’s landmark Nevermind album, you’ll hear plenty of examples of the wide variety of great music that was being released even before anarchist cheerleaders picked up black pompoms and the janitor got his groove back.
1991 was a crazy year for cannibalism, true and fictional, with Jeffrey Dahmer proving that Aaron Camaro is not the only lunatic from Wisconsin and Anthony Hopkins’ strange appetite in Silence of the Lambs.
We also learned in 1991 that Pee Wee Herman likes himself. He…really….really….likes himself. Of course, he went to jail and was ridiculed for something that 99% of the population does and that 1% dude sure is frustrated.
Michael Jordan got us to eat our Wheaties, Madonna pissed of parents of teenage boys everywhere with a “racy” video that is tame by today’s standards and there was a TON of great music produced in 1991. You’ll hear us yack about all of it this week on the Decibel Geek podcast.
