1989 - 2009 Twenty Years Ago...

[D_Davis]

The Beastie Boy's Paul's Boutique and De La Soul's 3 Feet High and Rising were released...

Wow.

Talk about life and genre changing albums.

It's incredible to think that I've been listening to these albums for 20 years.

Also - The Stone Roses s/t.

1989 is one of my favorite years for music.

[keyinblack]

it seems for the last couple of eras that the last year in a decade has always been incredibly fruitful.

69: monster movie, contact, led zeppelin I, in the court of the crimson king, abbey road
79: unknown pleasures, london calling, entertainment!, metal box, fear of music, this heat
89: (aforementioned), "i", disintegration, ecstasy and wine, doolittle
99: i see a darkness, vision creation newsun, the soft bulletin, slow riot for new zero kanada ep, 69 love songs,

and so far this year is going fairly handsomely

Let's not forget Galaxie 500's On Fire.

for some reason i had it listed as 88. good choice

[D_Davis]

If It Takes a Nations of Millions.... had come out in '89 rather than '88, I could argue that '89 was the most important year of hip hop to date.

And good call with Disintegration, key.

I'm not a huge Galaxy 500 fan. I like them, but I prefer Luna.

What I'd like to say I was listening to in 1989:

Pixies, Doolittle
Sugarcubes, Here Today, Tomorrow, Next Week!
The B-52s, Cosmic Thing
Faith No More, The Real Thing
Kate Bush, The Sensual World

What I was actually listening to in 1989:

Madonna, Like a Prayer
Janet Jackson, Rhythm Nation 1814
Taylor Dayne, Can't Fight Fate
White Lion, Big Game
Milli Vanilli, Girl You Know It's True

[D_Davis]

I was listening to these:

Sugarcubes, Here Today, Tomorrow, Next Week!
The B-52s, Cosmic Thing
Faith No More, The Real Thing
Madonna, Like a Prayer
Milli Vanilli, Girl You Know It's True (I still want to cover this entire album someday)

[Spinal]

I got into Faith No More not too long after '89. By '91 at least.

And Like a Prayer has some songs I still really love. "Oh Father", "Dear Jessie" and the title track.

And Like a Prayer has some songs I still really love. "Oh Father", "Dear Jessie" and the title track.

It's a solid pop album, for sure.

Probably the last Madonna album I really like.

[dreamdead]

I liked Taylor Dayne back in the day. No idea if she'd hold up now, but she was catchy then.

I was likely listening to the Top Gun soundtrack and Phil Collins.:crazy:

Too bad DD doesnt post here anymore. He would probably really like this.
