In 1989, British scientist Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. By the dawn of the 90s, the internet had awakened everyone to new technological possibilities. Similarly, music and music listeners were becoming more forward-thinking than ever before. Grunge and heavy metal met in the gauntlet; hip-hop traveled from the underground to the pop charts (N.W.A. out-charted R.E.M. in 1991); pop music became more daring; electronic music began its ascent from small clubs to festival stages. 1991 marked the start of this aggressive reinvention. It was a year that shaped the music weve heard for the last three decades. Even today, these 13 albums that were once in rotation in six-disc Sony stereos are responsible for current digital playlists.
