[GinAg (39)]

ALWAYS AND FOREVER

Homophobic QUEEN

 

[GinAg (39)]

No Jive Bunny?

In 1989 yes. In 2022 no.

The frozen carrot iglooing scandal WAS OUTRAGEOUS.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Oh God Straight Up by Paula Abdul

DISGUSTING

 

[GinAg (39)]

LOST
In a DREAM

Shall we?



Truly a meisterwerk of THWACKING DRUMS

Wouldn't like to get my love caught
In the slammin' door

Me neither. Her poor twat.

[Alias #23]

I hope Eurovision fans will remember this one when presenting their Super-Hits von 1989

 

[GinAg (39)]

I believe Taylor Swift is EVIL

 

[GinAg (39)]

 

[Sheena]

A truly magnificent year for music.

 

[GinAg (39)]

A truly magnificent year for music.

A true musical peak. The next few years were such a comprative decline.

Until the mid 90s

 

[Sheena]

Some of my less obvious FAVES

 

[Sheena]

What a year for HOT SLUT POP it was

Pauline Abdul

I remember getting a few years later this compilation, one of the first ones I ever had, it was all UK top 10 hits in 1989 and it's absolutely amazing. I discovered quite a few songs that were not a hit here.

 

[Sheena]

It was also a great year for hair rock:





And perhaps more obviously:

And perhaps more obviously:

Poison easily my 11th.

 

[Sheena]

I just cleaned a copy of Smash Hits Party 89 this very evening in order to sell it. I might give it a spin tomorrow before it goes now.

 

[Sheena]

Poison easily my 11th.

It’s right up there in my top 5. An all time great for me. That kind of overblown, almost camp nonsense is right up my street. See also Meat Loaf.

 

[Alla]

Fantastic and not even the best from that album, an essential to me. This is 1990 to me because I discovered it when it peaked in the US, back in the day when so many US hits made the European charts many months later, and viceversa.

I think I was my first compilation. On tape of course.

 

[Sheena]

Seriously, the amount of my all time favourite songs from 89 is ridiculous:

 

[Alla]

Losing my mind is up there too, And I forgot All around the world, but that's 1990 to me anyway.

 

[Alias #23]

Tell Me When The Fever Ended was 1989 as well, of course. So definitely THAT

 

[GinAg (39)]

Losing my mind is up there too,

Oh fuck. Top 3

 

[Sheena]

Yes to Losing My Mind!
