How many albums from 1989 do you consider important to you?
I only got 2, but read for yourself 👇
SunDancer@derthomas Well there is Skid Row with Skid Row, WASP with The Headless Children, Sodom with Agent Orange, Kreator with "extreme aggression", Alice Cooper with Trash, Annihilator "Alice in Hell", Savatage "Gutter Ballet" and yes: David Hasselhoff with "I've been looking for freedom" did something. Good? Bad? WHO KNOWS!
Let's just say 1989 was a fecking good year for my music. Even if I only started listening activly to "my music". Gods I feel old.
@SunDancer how could I forget Looking for Freedom???
@derthomas A healthy suppression system?
Jake in the desert@derthomas Pixies and Queen. HELL yes. I had several for 89 but those Smithereens took it for me, that year. I did look at Doolittle though. So damn good
@derthomas oh yeah and despite never seeing them live, I'm so huge on whatever Black Francis does, even his solo and Catholics stuff.. I did a deep dive one year recently before that new Pixies album.. They did make one of my years, Indie Cindy, whatever year that was 😂 that said, the songs you mentioned from Doolittle - yes. That Debaser scream! My last band, we'd cover Gouge Away- I'd sing it haha. Wish I had a recording of that. Oh and Cecilia Ann is SO great, too. Ah Bossanova. Hah
@jake4480 I actually saw Frank Black in 2007 on a festival. But I don't remember much. My buddy and me we were at a party the night before and instead of going home, we directly headed for that festival in the morning only carrying the things we had on us. Of course we didn't even had tickets. The rest is history.
@derthomas whoaa hell yeah! And wild lineup! Awesome, Hives and Incubus too. I would've even loved to see Pearl Jam, I've never seen them either haha
@jake4480 man, better don't ask me how much I actually saw. I was 23 that year and completely stupid.
I do remember that the Pumpkins were really boring though.
@derthomas ha! Yeah, by that time, I was out of the Pumpkins. Loved their first albums, up to and including Mellon Collie. But that's where I stop with Pumpkins. And I don't put em on anymore, listened a TON as a kid haha
DaveKaz@derthomas a quick count, 31.
@fistfulofdave that's gonna be my problem once I hit the 2000s. 31 albums is still a lot though.
@derthomas 70s, 80s, 90s are my large quantity years. Probably accounts for the differences in our music taste.
@fistfulofdave I think the main reason is that I didn't grow up with 70s and 80s music, and in the 90s I was still very young.
Brian Nicar@derthomas @fistfulofdave And yet, we still love you, Thomas! Like Dave, most of my music memory / love is tied up in the 70s, 80s, and early 90s. Except for some metal... ;>)
Gavin@derthomas I think I only have a few albums from that year —Pretty Hate Machine (NIN), The Real Thing (FNM), Seasons End (Marillion) and …But Seriously (Phil Collins).
I’d only have considered Phil important at the time though. I only knew about what was on the radio then. 😂

Samsa Samsara@derthomas Don't know how many there are exactly, but there is one that instantly comes to (my) mind...*throatclearingsound*...
Bleach!
