    Because I’m a Rush fan, 1989.

    And I saw them on that tour. 🙂

            I was lucky enough to catch them on the Counterparts tour, but that was the last time I had the chance to see them live.

    I was going to say I’m pretty sure Full Moon Fever was 1989, although sometimes you’ve used the single release date of songs instead of the album release date, so sometimes that’s one year off from what I was thinking. Looks like I was right, though.

    I remember listening to that game on the radio as a kid when Nolan Ryan got his 5000th strikeout, but I don’t know if I would have gotten the exact year just from that.

      I always use the single release date rather than the album it was on 🙂 Glad to know it can cause confusion though 😉

      Glad you got it right this time though!

        Good to know! I’ve always used the earlier date on my page if they are different.

          Singles tend to be released before the albums are which is my logic 🙂

    1989? Based on the Cold War being over?

    1989 (from the Cold War clue) I thought the Cranberries came after all of this, but I was wrong…
