Like a Prayer - Madonna
Big Thing - Duran Duran
Rio - Duran Duran
Thriller - MJ

I'm missing so many... Interesting how many are from around '89. I'm sure that has to do with age but then again some true classics came from that time...

When Prince and his production is excluded:

The Police: Ghost in the Machine, Synchronicity

Sting: The Dream of the Blue Turtles, Nothing like the Sun

Kate Bush: Dreaming, Hounds of Love

Cyndi Lauper: She's so Unusual

Frankie Goes to Hollywood: Welcome to the Pleasuredome

Depeche Mode: Black Celebration

Tracy Chapman: Tracy Chapman

Suzanne Vega: Solitude Standing

Those days I also listened to the Christians, Housemartins, Los Lobos, Living Colour and various Finnish artists that you don't know. Also James Brown belonged to my favourites and I started to listen to his older production too after Living in America was released. Everything this was in c-cassettes.smile
