We argue our way through Rock and Roll Hall of Fame picks, then zoom back to 1989 and draft a six-song “perfect album side” using strict categories and release-date rules. The final tracklist surprises us by leaning hard into pop, dance, MTV videos, and one-hit wonders rather than rock.
• rapid-fire yes or no takes on Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees and next-year nominees
• quick 1989 scene setting through news, movies, TV, and everyday prices
• the category rules that shape the 1989 perfect album side draft
• best debut single showdown with Skid Row vs Technotronic
• we discuss best movie soundtracks, Madonna, Paula Abdul, Martika, Janet Jackson, Young MC, Metallica and more!
• the final 1989 perfect album side and what it says about the year
