Completely Conspicuous 588: Divine Intervention

Part 2 of my conversation with guest Phil Stacey about our favorite music of 1991. Show notes: - Phil's #5: The debut of an unknown band called Pearl Jam - Album had a slow build, didn't really get big until spring '92 - Jay's #5: Smashing Pumpkins' debut is a guitar feast - Phil's #4: Prince's last great album, according to Phil - Jay's #4: Under-the-radar power pop genius from Scotland - Gene Simmons sued over the album cover - That time Simmons covered "Firestarter" - Phil's #3: Lenny Kravitz peaks on this second album - Phil's #2: U2 changes their image and sound - Shifted from Americana to German electronic sounds - Jay's #2: Soundgarden blasts into the stratosphere - Pissing off old people - Jay's #1: Matthew Sweet breaks through with a power pop classic - Great guitarists guesting, including Robert Quine and Richard Lloyd - Phil's #1 and Jay's #3: Nirvana's revolutionary sophomore effort - Suffers from overexposure on classic rock stations now - Favorite songs: "Divine Intervention" (Jay), "Breed" (Phil) Completely Conspicuous is available through Apple Podcasts.
