What a year 1991 was for album releases and riffs!

I was 15 in 1991 so this year has a special place in my musical heart and development so seeing as we’re now 30 years on from then ( OMG! 😮) I thought it would be cool to celebrate this milestone with a selection of some of the riffs and albums that rocked my World back in the day.

How many do you remember, are any your faves too?

Enjoy!
