I notice #1 & 2. 
Summer of '89. Wow, what could have been.
The Connells Something to Say is such a gem. Peak Chappel Hill bands era. The Connells, Flat Duo Jets, Mojo Nixon, Archers of Loaf, Corrosion of Conformity, Ben Folds and Southern Culture on the skids were probably a little after this.

Beastie Boys Paul's Boutique. Pixies Doolittle second. Stone Roses third. I remember buying Lou Reed's New York back then and loving it. Haven't listened to that in quite a while though.

This was the year that I started DJ duties at KNLU while I was at NLU. 1989 introduced me to all of these bands and more. It will never get better.

I'm laughing at #20 on the tracks list
I had no idea Mojo charted with that song.

The top 5 suck.
Full Moon Fever and Steel Wheels were really good.

Well at least they are in order of release date and not how great they are. Cuz Disintegration would be #1 in that case

Nirvana’s 1st album “Bleach”came out this year. The beginning of the end for Queensryche, Cinderella etc.

It was my last year at KLSU and while 89 was great so were most of the previous 9 Years.

Absolutely!
Got to see the Connells at The Varsity during the mid-to-late '90s. Tonic (!) opened for them.

One of my underrated favorites from 1989--Maria McKee's debut solo album after Lone Justice.

I graduated high school in 1989, so I agree it was a hell of a year.
Disintegration and Paul's Boutique are way up there. Not too far behind are Freedom by Neil Young, Mother's Milk by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Don't Tell a Soul by the Replacements - all records I listened to a lot over the years.

Another great one from 1989 which seem appropriate today with the Menendez brothers potential Parole

Saraya at #9 from the Album chart? Wow. Good song.
