1990 was a transitional year in music. The synth heavy sound of the 80s was transforming, hip-hop and new jack swing were becoming part of mainstream culture and a new ‘dirty’ type of rock was taking shape out west. Join us as we recount some memories of the era and discuss some of our favorite albums of 1990.

Sonic Youth – Goo (Andy)

Pet Shop Boys – Behaviour (Don)

Alice in Chains – Facelift (Dude)
