20 Years Ago Today #4 - 10/18/91

Back to taking a look at the charts of 20 years ago, and the alternative rock era has started to take shape, with the Red Hot Chili Peppers "Give It Away" at #3 and Nirvana already at 5th place only 3 weeks after the release of Nevermind. However, the only other band from this list that would make relevant music in the rest of the decade is Blur, whose "There's No Other Way" was fully representative of pre-Nirvana alternative music in the early 90s.

Robyn Hitchcock was in the #1 spot, with a song I have never heard before. The 90s: The Gift That Keeps on Giving.

Here's the Top 10:

1. Robyn Hitchcock - "So You Think You're In Love"
2. Billy Bragg - "Sexuality"
3. Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Give It Away"
4. The Cult - "Wild Hearted Son"
5. Nirvana - "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
6. Tin Machine - "One Shot"
7. Lloyd Cole - "She's a Girl and I'm a Man"
8. Blur - "There's No Other Way"
9. The Smithereens - "Top of the Pops"
10. Northside - "Take Five"

Whatever.
