Shine On - Songs 1990

A lot of good music came out in 1990 and this is a collection of some of the songs from albums released that year that spent some time on my stereos. I especially loved The La's and The House of Love and still listern to those albums regularly. The World Party album also got a lot of play as did Sinead O'Connor. The Madchester stuff was fun for a while as was Deee-Lite. I had listened to some of the previous Pixies and Sonic Youth albums but I really wasn't a big fan at the time. A lot of their work grew on me over the years. I discovered Ride a few years later and Sun Dial much later.
