The latest in an ever growing number of "holy **** I'm old" moments to hit me.

That album is one of the best and most influential ever. I think there are maybe two songs on the entire thing that weren't hits.

Man, time flies.

Interestingly, master of puppets only had one released single, the title track, yet I've heard all 8 tracks on the radio at one point or another.

Several options from that album could be used for that, I suppose:
Control
Let's wait a while
Pleasure principle
or Nasty

looking at the besteveralbums.com site for 1991, its funny how an album like Spiderland became so well known and loved. I missed it until well into the 00s but did anyone even really know of the album before sites like Pitchfork? And the top 9 albums of 91 are in the top 50 for the decade

When I read the thread title, my first thought was of Smokey in Friday singing "Control!" on the phone when talking to his blind date who says she looks like Janet Jackson.

In my defense, I said 'and every other album from 1991', including, but not limited to Metallica - Metallica.

Clearly Badmotorfinger had more of an affect on me than other albums from 1991.
