1988

Kind of a strange year, this one.
Hair Metal bands were EVERYWHERE,
and greatest hits compilations started to emerge. U2 was
the biggest band in the world, and they knew it.
Unfortunately, they were also the most boring band in the world
(at this point --- they'd recover in the 90's, thankfully).
Luckily The Wonder Stuff and Living Colour debuted,
taking some wind out of the Irish do gooders' (as they became)
sails.
