1987 in music. • Page 2

Oh man. This gives me deep personal satisfaction seeing Prince there.

And that opening run on Joshua Tree is so nuts you almost can’t appreciate it unless it’s actually on. It doesn’t even register conceptually.

 

Definitely been coming back to that Prince album a lot lately.

And I totally know what you mean on that U2 run. Those three songs are such standards at this point, and have been played on rock radio so many times, that it's easy to take them for granted. But hearing them one after the other on the actual album is still so exciting for me.

 

Crazy to think that 1987 marked the debut of the mighty Guided By Voices, as well.

Not exactly 'essential' listening in their catalog by any means, but their first two records, Sandbox and Devil Between My Toes came out this year.

 

This is such a fun song. Sounds way ahead of it's time for '87.

For anyone that isn't familiar with Happy Mondays, their singer Shaun Ryder is also the unmistakable guest vocalist in "DARE" by Gorillaz.

 

It’s so crazy that an album with “Adore” and “I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man” might not be his best album. How is that possible?

 

It only makes sense when you look at the tracklist for Purple Rain.

 

four way tie for first with a fifth album one point behind lol. wild year.

 

1. U2 - The Joshua Tree @theagentcoma
2. Dinosaur Jr. - You're Living All Over Me
3. Eric B & Rakim - Paid in Full

1. U2 - The Joshua Tree

Gimmie 88 so I can fuck around all day tomorrow

Actually quite happy Paid in Full made a real run at it.

Only got to 5 listens this week, but I was sick, it’s the end of the quarter, and it was Hallowen, so that’s not too bad.

and the 1987 mix. Track 10 should be Paul McCartney - Once Upon A Long Ago, but for some reason it's not on spotify at all, so oh well

 

I think you might have your years mixed up for Heart. Pumped that you listened though.

 

Whoops you're right, this year should be Bad Animals which I also listened to and enjoyed
