April 2Apr 2 Author 66 Nirvana - Smells Like Teen SpiritI am not the biggest grunge fan, but this song is absolutely iconic. Chartwise, this was not there biggest hit in the UK charts peaking only at #7 in autumn 1991.
April 2Apr 2 Author 65 Metallica - Enter SandmanI am also not the biggest metal fan, but The Black Album is my favourite album of this genre. "Enter Sandman" was the first single from it and peaked at #5 in late summer 1991. One more to come from Metallica later on.
April 18Apr 18 Author 64 EMF - I BelieveThe Epton Mad Funkers had a great start start with "Unbelieveable", which reached the top 10 in 1990. However, their debut album "Schubert Dip" offered a lot more guitar rave bangers. "I Believe" was released as follow-up single of "Unbelievable" in January 1991 and peaked at #6 giving them their second and last top 10 hit.
April 18Apr 18 Author 63 A Tribe Called Quest - Can I Kick ItI am a big fan of conscious hip-hop of the late 80's and early 90's. "A Tribe Called Quest" were together with "De La Soul" my favourite groups of it. "Can I Kick It" is a masterpiece and one of their best songs reaching #15 in early 91 giving them their only Top 20 hit in the UK.
April 18Apr 18 Author 62 Guns N Roses - You Could Me MineThe "Use You Illusion" double LP was a big phenomenon in 1991. One of my favourite songs from it is "You Could Be Mine", a great piece of rock with crossover potential. The video is absolutely ace too with loads of sequencies from the "Terminator 2" movie, which is one of my favourite movies of all time. "You Could Be Mine" peaked at #3 in July 1991.
April 20Apr 20 Cathy Dennis is my tops of that batch, but also Nirvana and Can I Kick It. The others are decent enough, though. 👍
April 20Apr 20 Great to see 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' and 'Enter Sandman' here even if not to your usual taste - classics of their respective genres for sure.'Can I Kick It?' is a good'un too and makes sense as their highest charting song. Love that Lou Reed sample.
