Part 1 of my conversation with guest Phil Stacey about our favorite music of 1991. Show notes: - In '91, Phil graduated from college; Jay worked at the Peabody Times newspaper - A big year for rock, although a lot of the impact wasn't felt until the following year - Seeds for alt-rock explosion had been sown in the previous few years - Still a lot of classic rock, hair metal and pop on the charts - Freddie Mercury died, Lollapallooza tour started - Bryan Adams was in full balladeer mode - The evolution of Marky Mark - Clapton still sucks - Neither of us was a fan of the Use Your Illusion albums - Albums were way too long in the CD era - Phil's non-top 5 albums: Temple of the Dog, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Mudhoney, Dinosaur Jr., Pixies, A Tribe Called Quest, My Bloody Valentine, Tragically Hip, Neil Young, Massive Attack, Primal Scream, R.E.M., Red Hot Chili Peppers - Jay's non-top 5s: Elvis Costello, Nation of Ulysses, Fishbone   - Rockit Records, R.I.P. - To be continued Completely Conspicuous is available through Apple Podcasts.
