1990 in music

[The Lone Gunman]

I don't quite share TLG's view that it was a grim year for music. It was perhaps in a bit of a no man's land.

For me, the six years between 1988 and 1993 were a bit of a musical wasteland. There were a few decent bands knocking around. I went to a number of early Blur gigs and the arrival of Nirvana's Nevermind in 91 certainly livened things up a little, but the majority of that period was pretty dire. I reckon I went to more gigs in 1994 than I'd attended in the previous six years combined.
