What albums are you listening to thirty years ago this month (December 1990)?

I was turning 2, no household TV/radio/music device. My father was a church pastor and a lot of my early childhood was in that environment, so I imagine sung church hymns was what I was listening to. Earliest memories are ‘91, so pre-memory for me.

Lard - The Last Temptation of Reid

Killing Joke - Extremeties...

Ministry - In Case You Didn’t Feel Like Showing Up (Live)

Front Line Assembly - Caustic Grip

MBM - 99%

Prince - Graffiti Bridge

Public Enemy - Fear of a Black Planet

Living Colour - Time’s Up EP

The Beloved - Happiness

Jane’s Addiction - Ritual de lo Habitual

Skinny Puppy - Too Dark Park

Hard to recall exactly, but Faith No More's Epic was the first thing I thought off when I saw the thread. I was 14.5, freshman in high school. A lot of my favorite 89/90 albums I didn't discover until later so I can't claim to have been listening to them at the time.

A few I was definitely listening to, after a quick look through my RYM database.

This is from Jan 1991 but too serendipitous to not post here.

In Jan 1991, BBC Radio 1 organised some big concerts at Wembley Arena, called it 'Great British Music Weekend'.

808 State had a slot, with MC Tunes. I recorded this from the radio and had it on a cassette, used to listen to it a lot.

Recently found exactly the same broadcast on yotube, I remember every second of this.

It starts with a remix of Cubik which is a BANGER

This was the line up - Carter USM were also there, but I hadn't discovered them yet

I was 14 and think i still have the tapes in my garage of the full Friday night broadcast recorded on my white alba stereo - would have been played to death that year, especially 808 and James (had only just discovered there was more to them than Sit Down)

remember the Mondays being particularly shambolic for headliners at their peak.

i was 10 years old and not particularly interested in music yet. i guess my favs would be mega man 2 ost and stuff my dad used to listen to while driving:

...

Pretty much the exact same stuff my dad played in the 70s.
