Arts and Culture

Time Machine from The Current

Time Machine from The Current is a sonic journey across music history. Each week, host Bill DeVille takes you back to the sounds of a specific year with a carefully curated list of the best songs. Plus, he’ll invite you to reexamine some deeper cuts as we look back on what happened that year in music, pop culture and the world.

March 5 – 1991:    

It’s the year grunge broke big with albums from Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden, hip-hop groups like De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest & Cypress Hill were emerging. Metal was still big with two albums from Guns and Roses, and releases from Ozzy Osbourne and Metallica. Red Hot Chili Peppers and U2 released huge albums and the top song of the year was (Everything I do) I do For You by Bryan Adams. Garth Brooks was becoming the rock star of country music, and Queen front man Freddie Mercury died of AIDS.

That same year, outside the world of music, Magic Johnson announced he had HIV, Prince Charles and Lady Dianna split up and CD’s and cassettes were the format of choice – maybe you made mixtapes for friends? Magic Johnson announced he had HIV, Jordan and the Bulls were becoming a dynasty and the Minnesota Twins won their 2nd World Series.
