1989 was loaded with garbage, but brewing behind the scenes were early classics of the new sound coming in the 90s. While the mainstream was listening to Milli Vanilli, New Kids and Paula Abdul, I was discovering NIN, Peppers, Cure, Depeche, PWEI and other future trendsetters (and people gave me weird looks when I mentioned these bands or played their music or asked store clerks if they had t-shirts from these bands).
