BRiaN'S WoRLD: Music: Faves of 1989

Here's some of my favorite/recommended music for this year. Clicking on the ALBUM COVER or ALBUM NAME will take you to a place to purchase that particular CD.


Animal Logic - "Animal Logic"
This genius of an album is what happens when you take Stewart Copeland from THE POLICE and Stanley Clarke and put them together with a great female singer. Fantastic!
Jerry Harrison and the Casual Gods - "Casual Gods"
Jerry was a guitarist and keyboardist in TALKING HEADS. He has since gone on to produce some of the biggest albums of the 1990s. This album is really good.
Lyle Lovett and His Large Band - "Lyle Lovett and His Large Band"
The album that introduced me to Lyle Lovett. It's really more big band than country or blues to me which probably has a lot to do with why I can stand it. Lyle is a great singer/songwriter and this album is spectacular. It is only to be outdone by his follow-up titles JOSHUA JUDGES RUTH.
Paul McCartney - "Flowers In The Dirt"
Paul McCartney and Elvis Costello get together and write some tunes together. This album is pretty much the result of that writing. The albums release was followed by a huge world stadium tour.
Peter Murphy - "Deep"
This is my favorite Peter Murphy album. Features "Cut You Up".
Michael Penn - "March"
The Pixies - "Doolittle"
The Pixies big "commercial" album featuring the hit "Monkey Gone To Heaven".
The Stone Roses - "The Stone Roses"
The debut of The Stone Roses. This band probably would have gone on to be a huge name had their egos not gotten in the way. But when you think you're too big to open for the Rolling Stones on a huge stadium tour then I suppose you get what you deserve. Too bad. This album was genius.
Midge Ure - "Answers To Nothing"
XTC - "Oranges and Lemons"


Other noteworthy albums of 1989:
Art Of Noise - "Below The Waste"
The B-52s - "Cosmic Thing"
The Blue Nile - "Hats"
The Call - "Let The Day Begin"
The Cure - "Disintegration"
Tim Finn - "Tim Finn"
Martin L. Gore - "Counterfeit e.p"
Taking a break from Depeche Mode, Martin Gore recorded this solo EP. Not bad. It kind of foreshadowed the direction Depeche Mode would go in the future.
Jesus Jones - "Liquidizer"
Howard Jones - "Cross That Line"
Max Q - "Max Q"
The first solo effort of Inxs's Michael Hutchence under the name Max Q.
Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper - "Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper"
The Primitives - "Pure"
Rush - "Presto"
Simple Minds - "Street Fighting Years"
The Smithereens - "11"
Squeeze - "Frank"
Wire - "It's Beginning To And Back Again"
