Actually, they say in the very beginning, as U2's "Mysterious Ways" from the revolutionary 1991 album "Achtung Baby" plays, that it was a "pretty good year for music itself."

You mean the glorious 70mm movie that takes place mostly in the same room for 3 hours? The movie is beautiful but a diabolical disaster on most levels.

I prefer the covers to Boxer and High Violet.

For me, the list includes:
U2 — Songs of Innocence (Russian right-wingers have even accused it of being gay propaganda, whatever that means)
My Morning Jacket — Evil Urges (is that Brian Denehey?)
Pearl Jam — Pearl Jam (but I do like avocados)
