35 years ago today, two albums were released that defined a generation. Nirvana’s ‘Nevermind’ was the band’s second studio album and the first to feature Dave Grohl on drums. Recorded in a little over two weeks, it started slow, then knocked Michael Jackson's 'Dangerous' off the top of the Billboard 200 in January 1992. In March 1999, the album reached RIAA-certified Diamond status for 10 million copies sold in the US. "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "Come As You Are" are still anthems today. With their inventive sophomore album ‘The Low End Theory,’ A Tribe Called Quest revolutionized the soundscape of hip-hop. Led by Q-Tip’s production, the album fused jazz samples and heavy hitting drums with deep, socially conscious lyricism. The album peaked at No. 45 on the Billboard 200 and was certified Platinum by the RIAA in 1995. Widely regarded as one of the greatest hip-hop records of all time, it remains a massive influence for generations of musicians. Grunge and golden-era hip-hop turning 35. Where'd your money go in '91?
