American Songwriter has published a short retrospective piece highlighting three rock songs from 1991 that the author still enjoys listening to today. The article reflects on how the early 1990s marked a shift towards a slightly edgier, more modern sound compared with the previous decade, using these tracks as examples of enduring quality from that transitional period.

– "Top Of The World" by Van Halen, from the album *For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge*, written by Eddie Van Halen, Michael Anthony, Sammy Hagar and Alex Van Halen; Eddie later admitted he personally disliked the song despite it becoming a hit.
– "Something To Talk About" by Bonnie Raitt, from her *Luck Of The Draw* album and written by Shirley Eikhard, which became her second Top 5 single after "Have A Heart".
– "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You" by Bryan Adams, co-written with Michael Kamen and Robert "Mutt" Lange, which spent 17 weeks at No. 1 and featured on the *Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves* soundtrack as well as Adams' *Waking Up The Neighbours* album.
