    Looking back has made me remember that this was a time when things were getting pretty boring and we were on the cusp of a sea change, in the UK at least. So my picks, I can only manage 7, are:

    • Sugar - Copper Blue
    • Tom Waits - Bone Machine
    • Arrested Development - 3 Years, 5 Months
    • Orb - UF Orb
    • KD Lang – Ingenue
    • Various - Dub House Disco
    • Various - Ambient Dub Volume 1

    1. R.E.M. – Automatic for the People
    2. Neil Young – Harvest Moon
    3. Beastie Boys – Check Your Head
    4. Singles – Motion Picture Soundtrack
    5. Prince – The Love Symbol Album
    6. Lindsey Buckingham – Out of the Cradle
    7. Annie Lennox – Diva
    8. Alice In Chains – Dirt
    9. Morrissey – Your Arsenal
    10. Peter Gabriel – Us

    Honorable Mention: Keith Richards – Main Offender

    I’d like to add that 1992 was one of the most incredible years for music on record. It saw arguably career defining albums from: Sonic Youth, The Black Crowes, Roger Waters (discounting Floyd, of course), Lemonheads, Sugar, The Pharcyde, Megadeth, The Jayhawks, Ministry, L7, Social Distortion, The Sundays, and Eric Clapton (Unplugged may be his best primer for newbies, and was a watershed album for the Unplugged series).

    And it featured brilliant debuts from: Stone Temple Pilots, Blind Melon, Manic Street Preachers, Dr. Dre, Gin Blossoms, Catherine Wheel, The Prodigy, Lush, Juliana Hatfield, Arrested Development, House of Pain, Mary J. Blige, and TLC.

    In my humble opinion, I think you might have to go back to 1967 to find a better year for music.

    These excercises are pretty hard on the aging brain. I totally forgot the Union Carbide Productions' "From Influence To Ignorance" and Steve Earle's live album from the '91 list even though both belong to my all time faves. Wonder what I missed this time?

    1. R.E.M., "Automatic for the People"
    2. Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth, "Mecca and the Soul Brother"
    3. Prince and the New Power Generation, symbol album
    4. Ride, "Going Blank Again"
    5. Peter Gabriel, "Us"
    6. Sugar, "Copper Blue"
    7. Los Lobos, "Kiko"
    8. Lucinda Williams, "Sweet Old World"
    9. the Black Crowes, "The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion"
    10. Sloan, "Smeared"

    Great year, the one where the emergence of alternative music in the previous fall decided to stick.

    "Mecca and the Soul Brother" is an especially accessible hip-hop album for listeners who (like me) don't often listen to rap music. It's the one with "T. R. O. Y. (They Reminisce Over You)" on it, which I think is the best single track of the '90s, but the whole album is good. There's a lot of jazz on it (something I miss about hip-hop music in the early 1990's). And it's epic, both the album itself (77+ minutes) and the individual songs (sixteen of them, averaging 4:50 in length).

    If you had asked me at the time (when I would have still been in high school) what would have been my #1, it would have been Gabriel's "Us". I still insist that that's a heck of a good record, despite the middling reviews. I got my old cassette out earlier this year, and it completely held up, like a thicker, rawer "So".

    That's interesting. For me, it's almost the reverse. I hardly listen to Social D, Danzig, and Rage anymore (even though Social D, in particular, was one of my top three of the year at the time). On the other hand, I still listen to Peter Gabriel, R.E.M., Alice, and even Gin Blossoms occasionally. I guess I've mellowed with age.

    I agree with the Peter Gabriel. It's still in my top ten for that year. Once you get past "Steam" (the requisite big, dumb pop song), the rest of the album is remarkably nuanced and, in places, beautiful. "Blood of Eden" remains one of my all-time favorite Gabriel songs.
