Welcome to Amity Tracks. This is a channel where we discuss a wide range of music related topics. The focus will be on music from the 1960’s through the 1990’s, but not exclusively. Classic rock, progressive rock, psychedelic rock, hard rock, jazz, blues, folk, country, soul…all genres are fair game. From time to time we may dabble in other popular culture, such as film, history or sports. But music is primarily what we do here. The focus is on the music and the artists. We hope to encourage an open and dynamic community with fun and informative discussions not only in the videos, but also in the comments section. Please note that, while disagreement and discussion is welcome, no personal attacks or out of bounds comments will be tolerated. We want to be a part of the positive larger vinyl community and other like-minded, music focused communities.

Great video! I did notice one omission, however: “Nick of Time” by Bonnie Raitt.
Cool video, your love for the year and all the music really shows! I think you covered nearly everything I would, but two albums that I regard as 5 star in '89 are Bob Dylan's 'Oh Mercy' and 'Hats' by The Blue Nile. They would be in my top 5 of '89, along with Neil Young, Tom Petty and Lou Reed. It's funny how alot of the old guard made a resurgence that year! Stuart
1. Doolittle -Pixies
2. Disintegration -The Cure
3. Full Moon Fever -Tom Petty
4. The Stone Roses (s/t)
5. Pretty Hate Machine -Nine Inch Nails
6. In Step -Stevie Ray Vaughan
7. Bleach -Nirvana
8. Oh Mercy -Bob Dylan
9. Sonic Temple -The Cult
10. Mystery Girl -Roy Orbison
HMs: Freedom (Neil Young), Oranges & Lemons (XTC), New York (Lou Reed), Indigo Girls (s/t), Pump (Aerosmith), Cloudland (Pere Ubu), Nick of Time (Bonnie Raitt), Journeyman (Eric Clapton), Yellow Moon (The Neville Brothers), President Yo La Tengo (Yo La Tengo)
LIVE ALBUM OF THE YEAR:
A Black and White Night -Roy Orbison
For albums, I think 1989 is one of the deeper years in music history. What holds me back from comparing it to the best years of the 1960s and 1970s is that I don't think there are a lot of 5 star classics. (I'd give the top 4 albums on my list a 5 star rating, everything else would get 4.5 stars or less.)
Should have mentioned Oh Mercy in my video for sure. Nice list.
Good video, brought me right back in 1989😊
1. Tom Petty: Full moon fever
2. Stone Roses
3. Van Morrison Avalon Sunset
4. Neil Young Freedom
5. Pixies Doolittle
6. Bob Dylan Oh mercy
7. Roy Orbison Mystery Girl
8. Neville Brothers Yellow Moon
9. Don Henley End of Innocence
19. Stones Steel wheels - Continental Drift🎉
I should have mentioned Oh Mercy and Avalon Sunset. Good call.
You pretty much covered 1989 and you're right - a strong year for music. I'm not the biggest fan of B-52s, but Cosmic Thing would probably sit in my top 10 that year
Great video. Some interesting choices. Love your top 3. Listened to Disintegration for the first time in years a couple of weeks ago and loved it. I'd have to include the Pixies' Doolittle, Nine Inch Nails' Pretty Hate Machine, and Dylan's Oh Mercy on my list. New York...yes.
Several people mentioned Oh Mercy, that is definitely one I shouldn't have overlooked in the video. Doolittle is great, had it on CD for years, but should grab it on vinyl too. New York is a great one to rediscover too.
My Top 10 of 1989!:
10. Rush - Presto
9. Tom Petty - Full Moon Fever
8. Motley Crue - Dr. Feelgood
7. Young MC - Stone Cold Rhymin
6. Stezo - Crazy Noise
5. De La Soul - 3 Feet High and Rising
4. The Cure - Disintegration
3. Spandau Ballet - Heart Like a Sky
2. Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique
1. Phil Collins - But Seriously
Like the Spandau Ballet pick. Good call.
Fela Kuti: Beast of all Nations Miles Davis: Aura. ❤Don’t tell a Soul.
Neil looked great on SNL doing Free World. Though I might prefer Eldorado.
Gabriel’s finest. Maybe one of the best albums all time.
Agreed '89 was a great year for new music. A few notable releases that you did not mention that would likely make my top 10.
Don Henley- End of the Innocence. Massive 3rd solo album packed with good tracks, nearly every one of which got airplay
Poco- Legacy- High quality reunion/comeback album of the 5 founding members, spawning 2 top 40 hits
Eric Clapton- Journeyman- highly regarded and successful solo album, a bit of a return to form
Linda Ronstadt- Cry Like a Rainstorm- another "comeback" album, her first rock/pop album in years, spawning several large hits, several with Aaron Neville.
Journeyman does have some great tracks. I saw him on that tour and it was fantastic.
The Tragically Hip deserve the love, and they only got better from there. Two albums that would make my top ten would be Prefab Sprout Protest Songs and The The Mind Bomb which are both fantastic!
Just a few more :
Bonnie Raitt " Nick of Time"
Aerosmith "Pump"
RUSH "Presto", "A Show of Hands"
Eric Clapton "Journeyman "
Great list usual! lol, except Full Moon Fever should be a lot higher. 😄
For something in 1989 that's well off the beaten track, check out Rickie Lee Jones 'Flying Cowboys'; she definitely plows her own unique field.
I need to check her out in general, but maybe I'll start with that one.
I think Eric Clapton put puta Journeyman and Homeboy ( OST) in 1989❤❤
Where did you find the gate fold "Guitar Shop"??
Mine doesn't do that
I honestly don't remember where I picked that up.
