Classic Rock Review of the Year 1992

Following the historic rock year of 1991, the following year of 1992 may have been a bit of a letdown. Still, there were some solid albums released this year, among which some were quite original and interesting. Despite “grunge” reaching its absolute zenith of popularity, we chose Neil Young‘s retro-sounding Harvest Moon as our album of the year.
