    The 30 Rock Podcast Trailer

    1991 was the year when music changed forever. Grunge and the Seattle scene were on the cusp of exploding, hip-hop had grown up and mega-bands like U2 were reinventing themselves, spurred on by the winds of change that the early nineties brought. A list of albums from 1991 reads like a who's who of the music industry, but what significance do those records hold at 30? 30 Rock is the podcast that reckons the best albums all come from thirty years ago. Join us as we deep dive the music of 1991, and take you back to the best time of your life. 30 Rock is a Bridge Media production.

    1991 - Pearl Jam - Ten

    In the late 80's Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament were riding high in the Seattle music scene with the success of their band Mother Love Bone. But with the shock overdose and death of frontman Andrew Wood, the guitarist and bassist had to start again. With the help of friends like Chris Cornell and Jack Irons a band was assembled and a frontman in Eddie Vedder was found. Pearl Jam's 1991 debut Ten, has gone down in history as one of the greatest debut records of all time, propelling the band into the mainstream, and setting up Vedder as one of the most important voices of the alternative music revolution. 30 Rock is a Bridge Media production.

    1991 - U2 - Achtung Baby

    They rose up from a nation divided by religious sectarianism and the ashes of punk rock to become one of the biggest bands of the 80’s, but by the time 1991 rolled around the Irish supergroup U2 were on a quest to re-invent themselves. With the fall of the Berlin Wall and the dawn of a new decade, U2 set up camp in Berlin with producers Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno, who had been at the helm of The Joshua Tree. It was here that the seeds were planted for what would become Achtung Baby, with the band taking on influences from industrial and alternative music as well as the European house and dance music scene.  Achtung Baby would go on to top the Billboard Album Charts, earn the group a Grammy Award and rack up a whopping 18 million copies in sales. It would also give birth to the Zoo TV tour–a rock spectacle on a scale that no one had seen before. 30 Rock is a Bridge Media production.

    1991 - R.E.M. - Out of Time

    When we think back 30 years ago to 1991, we think about the alternative revolution driven by bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. But there was one band who paved the way for the subsequent music industry shake up, and when they crashed through to the mainstream in early '91, it wasn’t off the back of a Marshall stack… it was a song that was driven by a mandolin.  R.E.M. were the darlings of US college radio in the 80's and when they released their major label debut 'Green' in 1989 everything changed. That album went platinum but the subsequent world tour left the band exhausted and after some downtime the Athens four piece retreated to the studio to write and record 'Out of Time', the album that would propel R.E.M. into the mainstream. 30 Rock is a Bridge Media production.
