The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses - I heard this one from some dude in the dorms with a funky haircut. I liked it and got it, but it never became an obsession or anything.
Pixies - Doolittle- I dug it quite a bit, thought it sounded like something I wish I did. Haven't listened to the Pixies in any regularity in years.
De La Soul - 3 Feet High and Rising, Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique - Those CDs/tapes were pretty ubiquitous that year in the dorms along with some G'n'R, The Cult, Jane's Addition & Danzig.
New Order - Technique- I never heard this till a few years later. I heard Joy Division first, but I don't think I got into New ORder until the early 90s.
The Cure - Disintegration- I got into them with the Standing on a Beach/Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me and probably got the tape of this one the day it came out. I swear it and Doolittle came out about the same week or I got them around the same time.
Madonna - Like a Prayer - Never bought any of her music, saw the movie back in the day, but her music was always around.
Lou Reed - New York- I had it on tape and later on CD. Dug it.
Soul II Soul - Club Classics Vol. One/Keep On Movin'- I loved the tune Back To Life. It was way out of my usual listening habits of the day but I actually went out and got the tape because of it.
Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine - I couldn't get into it. I dug Ministry, but didn't really like this CD. It was around, you find a girl with some black finger nails in 89/90 (before quite as common), she probably is listening to some NIN or at least of of that Wax Trax stuff.
Faith No More - The Real Thing - Saw them and Soundgarden open for Voivod right not long after it came out. The whole record isn't all that, but certain tunes are killer. Haven't heard it in years and need to see if I still got a tape of it.
Neil Young - Freedom- I dug this one, but I was already big into Neil Young.
The Neville Brothers - Yellow Moon- roomate had this one in college and while I never got a copy, I remember liking having it on in the background.
Aerosmith - Pump - this thing was all over the place when I was a kid. I kind of grew to hate the sound of that record, especially like tracks like Janie's Got a Gun. We dug Aerosmith when they were into drugs.
Jungle Brothers - Done by the Forces of Nature - never really heard it. Know the name.
Nirvana - Bleach - heard it at the time and dug Mudhoney way more.
Galaxie 500 - On Fire - I dubbed this onto one side of a C90 back in the day and kind of dug part of it, but to me as a 19 year old kid it was like rock for people that don't like to rock.
Bonnie Raitt - Nick of Time - Thing called love was played on the radio a ton.
Bob Dylan - Oh Mercy - I got it on cassette. Dug the tune Political World more for the groove. Haven't heard it probably since 1990.
Spacemen 3 - Playing with Fire- Never heard this till a few years later. It's pretty inspired weirdness for the day.
Nano Negra - Puta's Fever, The Blue Nile - Hats - kinda remember Blue Nile from 120 minutes, but never caught with me.
808 State - 90 - I don't think I heard it until the late 90s. It's a pretty good record for the time sound wise, they were still a step head of the game.
Tom Petty - Full Moon Fever- I had this one on CD, saw him live around that time with Lenny Kravitz as the opener. He was one of the few 'classic rocker' types that seemed to actually get more popular as grunge/altrock etc happened.
Fugazi - 13 Songs (Fugazi EP + Margin Walker EP)- I don't think I heard this until about 1990 when Repeater was out, but it was a CD I played a ton for years.
