Looking at my favorites list I used for the Scotch Sampler posts, I have this about 1988 -
The following albums came out in 1988:
- The Pixies - Surfer Rosa
- REM - Green
- U2 - Rattle and Hum
- Enya - Watermark
- Edie Brickell - Shooting Rubberbands...
- Tracy Chapman - Tracy Chapman
- Jane's Addiction - Nothing's Shocking
- Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
So as an example, the Tracy Chapman album has Talkin' 'bout a Revolution and Fast Car. And on the U2 album, there's Angel of Harlem, When Love Comes to Town, God Part II, Desire, and All I Want is You. I'd take any of those over what's probably George Harrison's worst song cover.
But as we say, there's no accounting for personal taste. If it's good for you, then good for you.
