Well, 1991 is finally drawing to a close. “But what about [insert that one band/album/song here]?!! You can’t talk about 1991 and not talk about that!” Fair enough. Laurie and Scott get into the other ones: 10 of the year’s most underrated, overlooked…and one or two they loved but just didn’t feel like doing a whole episode on. It’s a wild ride.

How did “Leisure” set the stage for Blur’s evolution, and where does it stand in the grand scheme of Britpop history?

Laurie & Scott Free return from their two-week break to discuss one of the biggest albums of 1991: “Achtung Baby” by U2. After the mega-success of “ The Joshua Tree ,” followed by the disappointing box office performance of the film “Rattle & Hum,” the Dublin-based quartet decided to reinvent themselves with an entirely new sound, merging dance-floor beats with distorted guitars, industrial textures, and introspective lyrics.
