Three more or less legendary albums that surprisingly came out on the same day in 1991. Feel free to share any or all of your Nevermind/BSSM/Low End Theory experiences/opinions.

Two more or less legendary albums that surprisingly came out on the same day in 1991. Feel free to share any or all of your Nevermind/BSSM experiences/opinions.
One turgid album that I used to (just about) tolerate at my friends' house while we got high.
One pretty good album (albeit vastly overrated) which inspired me to learn the guitar, amongst other records.
Wow, had no idea. Blood Sugar Sex Magik I got almost right after it came out, I was really looking forward to it after Mothers Milk turned me on to them. BSSM was and still is insane, there's nothing else like it, it's pure chaotic instinctive energy. I think that album showed me the power music could have in terms of conveying strong emotions, as well as the personality and passion a song could have. In my top 10.
Nevermind took me a little longer, I don't remember, I probably got it that winter sometime. I wish I could remember where I was the first time I heard Smells Like Teen Spirit on the radio, that would probably make a great story. A real classic, almost the definition of a perfect album. Any one of the songs on it could have done what Smells Like Teen Spirit did, they're all awesome.
A Tribe Called Quest was never my thing really but I thought they were okay.

I was 19 when Nevermind came out, and you couldn't just possibly avoid "Smells Like Teen Spirits", it was every rock fan's revenge on the horrid charts that were put up at the time in France. I never really loved the album (I like the fast songs, I am really bored by the slow ones, "Come As You Are" is really tiring), but I sure was glad to hear "Smells..." get some airplay amidst exhausting French chanson sets.
I was 19 when Blood Sugar... came out, didn't like it at all then, still don't know.
I discovered The Low End Theory far later, as I wasn't into rap at all in my late teens, and it wasn't even the first ATCQ I listened to - that was Midnight Marauders. Discovering it later (at age 23 or something, when I got more interested in rap thanks to, of all bands, Arrested Development!), I was instantly in love. The only great album in those three.
Im from Seattle, so obviously I hate grunge. (no really its a good album, just have heard every. song. off of it. at. least. a. million. times) Never listened to BSSM all the way through, though never want to hear any of the singles ever again (listened too much to the radio when I was younger). Ah, now The Low-End theory. I think it's the one that has aged the best, and also not ruined by endless radioplay. It's also one of the smartest albums out there, without being too smart for it's own good.
