    1989 - 2009 Twenty Years Ago...

    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.

    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
    THERE IS A FUTURE IN HISTORY

    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.

    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.

    It's a solid pop album, for sure.

    Probably the last Madonna album I really like.

    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:
    The Boat People - 9
    The Power of the Dog - 7.5
    The King of Pigs - 7

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?
