Albums First Released in 1989
As the Berlin Wall fell, alternative rock, hip hop and electronic music were already pointing towards the 1990s. Albums that help explain 1989 include The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses, Disintegration by The Cure, Doolittle by Pixies and 3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul.
Manchester's indie and dance scenes began to overlap, the Cure made a dark album for a large audience, Pixies sharpened quiet-loud guitar dynamics and De La Soul expanded hip hop's palette with playful sampling.

Our Pick of the Year: The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
The Stone Roses joined melodic guitar pop with a rhythm section shaped by funk and dance music. I Wanna Be Adored, She Bangs the Drums and I Am the Resurrection helped connect Manchester's indie scene with the club culture growing around it. The album became a reference point for the British bands that followed in the 1990s.
