The Evolution Of Music

Matt Gagnon and Jason discuss the significant release of multiple iconic albums within a short period in 1991, including Metallica’s Black Album, Pearl Jam’s Ten, Guns N’ Roses’ Use Your Illusion I and II, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Blood Sugar Sex Magik, Soundgarden’s Badmotorfinger, and Nirvana’s Nevermind. They reflect on the lasting impact of these albums on their lives and question whether current music will have a similar lasting impact on future generations. The conversation also touches on the shift from band-driven rock to individual performers and the corporate influence on modern music.
