1989 … Two albums I like from the year — “Indigo Girls” by Indigo Girls and “Peace & Love” by the Pogues
The Indigo Girls’ self-titled album on Spotify: shorturl.at/zm8XV
“Peace & Love” on Spotify: shorturl.at/OCUhz

1989 … “Paul’s Boutique”
Beastie Boys' '89 album “Paul’s Boutique” is probably their best. Produced by Dust Brothers who came to session with samples and song components. Dust Brothers later produced Beck's '96 “Odelay” and 2 songs on Rolling Stones’ “Bridges to Babylon”.
