About The The |
4. Tears For Fears: The Seeds Of
Love
5. Daryl Braithwaite: Edge
 |
The man from down under
to take over from John Farnham. However, Braithwaite has better songs and more to offer. |
6. Del Amitri: Waking Hours
 |
The album
that put them on the landmark. They did one back in 1985 too but don't talk too much about
it. This is where the story begins...

7. Lenny Kravitz: Let Love Rule
 |
The birth of a new black
rock'n'roll king. Kravitz possessed an enormous energy and personality, leaving
everybody breathless. |
8. Francis Cabrel: Sarbacane
 |
My French fascination
sets in and I discover one of France's best singer-songwriters. |
9. Don Henley: The End Of The
Innocence
 |
A mature album from Don
Henley with less synths. Contains the brilliant "New York Minute". |
10. Phil Collins: ...But
Seriously
 |
Phil Collins has meant
more to popular music than people will acknowledge. This album, for instance, contains one
great song after another. Couldn't be avoided in 1989. |

also made an impact:
Madonna: Like A Prayer
