Today marks the 30th aniversary of the last great day of the last great week of the last great month of the last great year in music history.
Nirvana’s “Nevermind,” The Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magik,” The Pixies “Trompe Le Monde” and A Tribe Called Quest’s “The Low End Theory.” Each groundbreaking project dropped Sept. 24, 1991. Guns and Roses realeased Use Your Illusion I & II a week before, and Sound Garden would realease Badmotorfinger a week later.
