The early 1990s saw a shift away from the music of the previous decade. The beginning of the 1990s brought a slightly more modern and edgier sound. Still, these are three rock songs from 1991 that are so good, I want to listen to them today.<\/p>\n

Although \u201cTop Of The World\u201d went all the way to the top of the charts, not all band members were fans of the song.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone else liked it,\u201d Eddie Van Halen later told Forbes<\/a>. \u201cI didn\u2019t. I got outvoted, and I wrote the damn song. It ended up on the record. I didn\u2019t like the song; everyone else did.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTop Of The World\u201d says, \u201cNo, no, nothing\u2019s gonna stop me \/ Nothing will be scaring me, oh no \/ Hey baby, it\u2019s the only way out \/ Oh, little darlin\u2019 \/ C\u2019mon, what\u2019s it all about? \/ Standing on top of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of Bonnie Raitt\u2019s biggest hits at the time, \u201cSomething To Talk About<\/a>\u201d is on her Luck Of The Draw album. Shirley Elkhart is the only writer of \u201cSomething To Talk About\u201d.<\/p>\n

A feel-good song about a blossoming romance, \u201cSomething To Talk About\u201d says, \u201cI just ignore it but they keep sayin\u2019 we \/ Laugh just a little too loud \/ Stand just a little too close \/ We stare just a little too long \/ Maybe they\u2019re seeing something we don\u2019t, darling \/ Let\u2019s give \u2019em somethinh to talk about \/ Let\u2019s give \u2019em something to talk about \/ Let\u2019s give \u2019em something to talk about \/ How about love?\u201c<\/p>\n

\u201cSomething To Talk About\u201d is Raitt\u2019s second Top 5 single, with \u201cHave A Heart\u201d becoming her first.<\/p>\n

\u201c(Everything I Do) I Do It For You\u201d is one of the most successful singles of Bryan Adams\u2019 career. The song became a 17-week No. 1 single. \u201c(Everything I Do) I Do It For You\u201d was written by Adams, Michael Karmen, and Robert \u201cMutt\u201d Lange. It appears on both the soundtrack for Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves and Adams\u2019 own Waking Up The Neighbours record.<\/p>\n

The sweet love song begins with, \u201cLook into my eyes \u2013 you will see \/ What you mean to me \/ Search your heart, search your soul \/ And when you find me there, you\u2019ll search no more \/ Don\u2019t tell me it\u2019s not worth tryin\u2019 for \/ You can\u2019t tell me it\u2019s not worth dying for \/ You know it\u2019s true: \/ Everything I do, I do it for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
