I'd go for the Cure, REM, or Ministry over Morrissey but overall pretty close to what my top 5 would be.

  1. REM - Automatic For The People
  2. Tom Waits - Bone Machine
  3. Leonard Cohen - The Future
  4. Steve Forbert - The American in Me
  5. Lyle Lovett - Joshua Judges Ruth

It was very hard to keep it at 5. 1992 was a great year for music. I left a lot of albums off that were in heavy rotation in my house.

I love Man On the Moon by R.E.M but 1991's Losing My Religion is my favorite.

Losing My Religion is also great. My three favorite REM songs are on Automatic: Sweetness Follows, Nightswimming, and Find The River.

Coincidentally, heroin was also really big around that time. I've seen it suggested as a major contributing factor to the exceptional quality of music.

Such a good year for music. I am not the judge .I just thought it would be cool to talk about. Thank you for all the replies. I shit the bed on Fear of the Dark and don't know which I leave out but yeah, I fucked up but it also speaks of that year. Opinions vary but please be cool to each other.

That was a week year for my tastes. I had to look it up because I don't think I've bought any or listen to any metal during that time. Just my old '80s standby favorites. I'd choose Pantera if I had to pick one. Vulgar Display of Power can of on 1992. Some of the bands I like had albums out. Testament, Venom, Megadeth. But I never listen to any of them except countdown to Extinction and not crazy about that one.

Any metal heads here, let me know if anything was good in 1992. I'll give it a listen.... Maybe :) I really might. I just listened to Testament for the first time early this year. I really like a lot of their albums.
