Was Music Better 21 Years Ago [POLL]

Last week I was a watching a VH1 documentary on Nirvana and the music scene in the early 90s.  As they often do during shows like these, they'll flash up a quick image of the Billboard charts from when the band hit #1.

This particular chart, from December 1991, struck me as very poignant.  To me, I think the greatest year of music was probably 1991.  Many of my Top 20 favorite albums came out in 1991 (almost all of them came out between 1987-1992).  To me, this made me think that this could be the best-looking chart in the history of music.  Which chart do you prefer, the chart from December 1991, or December 2012?
