Back In The Day: The Billboard Modern Rock Charts From 35 Years Ago

[TenderLovingKiller®]

I know this is a week late but since there wasn’t a chart released for 12/30 I figured it’s no big deal.

Next week we kick off the 90s!!!

Of the 27 albums in the Top 30 Modern Rock Tracks list for 1989, I have 5 on vinyl and another 6 on cd. Of all 27 acts, I have a record or cd be every artist except Camouflage. Who the hell were they?

I currently own two on vinyl. Two on cd. There are another four I have owned on cd at some point. There are another six I own other works by.

So, as we all knew, I’m not as cool as you.

Just not as old as me

Just not as old as me

Also, not as cool! I’ve certainly had opportunity to pick some of it up over the years.

Love & Rockets
The Cure
The Replacements
REM
Pixies
Lou Reed
The Ocean Blue

It’s a good mix.

 

[Nee Lewman]

I have Pixies and Waterboys on vinyl. Cause I’m fucking weird.

I just updated my playing on the 1989 Hot 100 YE if anyone wants to give that a listen too...

It just needs "Every Rose has its Thorn" on repeat

Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings a sad sad song.
EV-VE-RY rose has its thorn.
