The Trivia Thread

I will give a hint on the other 2. The two bands are not the typical "alternative" bands that dominated the 90's. They joined up for a world stadium tour the following year, which included a stop at our very own Williams-Brice Stadium.

ok...I was on the peloton last night and they played Enter Sandman and the dude said it came out in 1991 so I will guess Metallica (self named album)
and if that is correct (or not) what about a GNR album because I think they toured together? Regardless if correct, that would have been and awesome show

Damn, a question right in my wheelhouse and I was off the boards the last week or so....
Sometimes it's so obvious you never even consider it! That was the best question in a while. Glad you guys got it because I was about to continue down the Seattle Indie/Sub-Pop rabbithole - Mudhoney, Screaming Trees, Temple of the Dog, blah blah blah.
Metallica: Black Album - 12 Aug 1991
Pearl Jam :10- 27 Aug 1991
GNR: Use Your Illusion (1&2) - 17 Sep 1991
RHCP: Blood Sugar Sex Magic - 24 Sep 1991
Nirvana: Nevermind -- 24 Sep 1991
Soundgarden: Badmotorfinger - 24 Sep 1991
These other great albums were also released in 1991. It was an epic year in rock. To say the least.
REM: Out of Time
U2: Achtung Baby
Smashing: Pumpkins Gish
Pixies: Trompe le Monde
Temple of the Dog
Tom Petty: Into the Great Wide Open
Van Halen: For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge
...Probably a few more that I am leaving out.

You wouldn't have been far off. Those 3 all released albums in 1991, although I think they were all spring/early summer releases.
One of those "if you blink you might miss it" collaborations that was, for that moment in time, EPIC. If you don't know the backstory, TotD was a collaboration/In Honor of album with a mixed band of a mishmash of Pearl Jam and Soundgarden as a tribute to the late Andrew Wood, the lead singer and frontman for the hugely successful and influential Seattle band Mother Love Bone. Wood's death changed the world of music in a lot of ways, not the least of which was that after his death, the remaining members picked up the pieces, grabbed a new singer from San Diego and formed Pearl Jam. Wood was the undisputed king of the Seattle indie scene at the time of his death, and one can only wonder how the scene would have been altered had he lived.
So anyway, here's my favorite MLB song, "Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns," from the "singles" soundtrack; it starts slow but give it a few minutes and I promise you won't be sorry.

Good guess but incorrect. This group released two albums, neither of which had the impact of D&tD and Layla.
I looked it up and I had never heard of this group...hell I thought Blind Faith was considered a supergroup
They were! The group in question put out two albums ... the fact that you have never heard of them or their albums shows this was prolly more of a pet project than an actual "let's make genre-defining records and set the industry on its ear" type of thing (and which also makes it a great trivia question).
