1989

Nostalgia
reared its ugly head a little more frequently this year
with more greatest hits compilations. Paul McCartney released his best album since Wings' Back to the Egg (1979) AND announced his first US tour since 1976! The Who also toured the world in honour of the 20th anniversary of Tommy. The only new talent on the scene was Enuff Z'Nuff and the Stone Roses, to keep the faith going. |
