Really tough choice between Queen and Soundgarden for me. Rush release their worst album (just a decent pop rock record with a couple weird excursions), RHCP release their best (a strong contender for my 2nd or 3rd), Genesis try everything left in their somewhat exhausted arsenal on the totally OK We Can't Dance, Metallica become one of the most famous bands of all time on the back of pretty much a single riff, and the rest I haven't heard. Queen's my favorite band, so I'll give their swan song the edge over 1991's best grunge album. ------------- Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :) |

| Queen's Innuendo, which easily wins against the only other album I know in the poll: Genesis' We Can't Dance. |

I love "Innuendo" but I think "Parallels" is a better album, especially in terms of prog.

Those were the two it came down to for me, as well. Nothing else in the list, for me, had as much impact, or gave as much enjoyment. But despite me preferring Queen to Soundgarden overall, I do think Badmotorfinger has the edge over Innuendo. I suspect I will be the only vote for that album, though... 😄 ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

Show Of Hands, although I think my actual favourite album from 1991 is probably Zappa's Make A Jazz Noise Here. |

Same. And The Best Band You've Never Heard In Your Life. Though I suppose it was recorded on the last tour from '88. I love all the references to the US election at the time.

None of the above, actually. I cannot put the label "favourite" on any of these. So no vote this time. ------------- The razamataz is a pain in the bum |

| I won't vote since I don't know most of these. However, holidays in eden is a very underrated album. Roll the bones is a bit underrated too. I also like blood sugar sex magic but haven't heard it in a while. For some reason Pearl Jam's ten isn't on the list. |

one of my favorite 1991 albums is Van Halen's For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge.

Interestingly, Michael Jackson is the only one who is still voteless in one of the most random polls I have computed but just as I expected, 'Innuendo' is leading so far! |
