U2 - Mysterious Ways

Let’s end on a high note, okay? We can all watch ‘One’ on our own time.
Genesis - Hold On My Heart
“…i’ll keep a place for you, somewhere deep inside…”
Released in November 1991.
My Bloody Valentine - When You Sleep
“…once in a while when you make me smile…”

And since I cannot have the original without the cover, here’s Memoryhouse’s version.
Black Sheep - Flavor Of The Month
“…hurry up and get a scoop before it’s gone…”
Released in October 1991.
I think everyone knows Black Sheep because of this track (which is awesome) but it is ‘Flavor Of The Month’ that sold me on this album.
The Low End Theory (album) by A Tribe Called Quest
ALL OF IT = YES!
Released in September 1991. And if it moves your booty then shake, shake, shake it baby.

“…i hear you’re lookin’ for someone to love…”
Released in October 1991.
Public Enemy - Shut’em Down
“…i testified, my mama cried, black people died when an other man lied…”

It’s ‘…The Enemy Strikes Black’, MTV - not ‘Back’. Sheesh.
Nirvana - Come As You Are
“…as i want you to be…”
Released in September 1991.
It was hard to choose just one track off of Nevermind to highlight. But if, like me, you love the whole album then sit back & enjoy.
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Give It Away

Released in September 1991.
Guns N’ Roses - November Rain
“…don’t you know you need some time on your own…”
Released in September 1991.
And I have no problem whatsoever in admitting that this song is epic. Because that’s just what it is: epic. You’ve got the orchestra, you’ve got Axl Rose & Slash doing their (respective) things and you’ve got a melodramatic music video - and all of it clocks in at a little bit over nine minutes! That’s an epic terrace on the castle walls of every other epic rock song that came before.
Right. Unexpected metaphor/analogy is over now.
And, of course, Use Your Illusion II came out the same year & we got this gem as well.
