Stuck In Thee Garage #123: March 25, 2016

Rock historians like to dub 1991 as The Year Punk Broke, but it was more like The Year Alternative Rock Became a Commercially Viable Genre. A little less catchy, but much more accurate. This week on Stuck In Thee Garage, I played songs from 1991 in hour 2, and I tried to steer away from some of the more obvious choices. I'll probably revisit '91 in a future show, so you might hear some Nirvana, Pearl Jam, U2, etc., then. But for now, just put on your bunny suit and rock the eff out.
