10 Albums That Turn(ed) 20 In 2011: Remember The Time (PHOTOS)

September 5th, 2011 // 7 Comments

The year 1991 marked a significant change in the sound of pop music. The days of bubblegum (Debbie Gibson, Rick Astley, New Kids On The Block) and hair metal (Poison, Warrant, Motley Crue) were suddenly numbered as alternative rock and grunge culture bubbled up to the surface and heavily infiltrated the mainstream. Perhaps sensing the turning tide, veteran acts like U2 and Michael Jackson headed in new directions, musically. Meanwhile, R&B was all about new jack swing, Motownphilly and a whistle-register songbird named Mariah. Flip through our gallery to revisit 10 classic albums that celebrate their 20th anniversaries this year.

    idiot^^^ Never forget you was on music box… her best tracks on this album were to be around you and if its over!

    Can’t Let Go is the best ballad ever recorded by Mariah Carey vocally. The later albums became formula until The Emancipation Of Mimi. Best producers of that time David Cole and Robert Clivilles. News is Mariah wants to get back to the weight she was during this time of album…not to look good but to get the vocal power back!
