Now here we have a year that just doesn't quit! 1989 was off the hook!!! 

 

 
Pixies - Doolittle
 

 
The Replacements - Don't Tell A Soul
 

 
Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique
 

 
Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble - In Step
 
How about Tom Petty, Neil Young, Dramarama, the Stones, the Cult, the Cure? What a year!

Fantastic year. Albums that spring to mind right off the bat are:
 
The Cure: Disintegration
Galaxie 500: On Fire
Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto: Getz/Gilberto
Godflesh: Streetcleaner
Pixies: Doolittle
Stone Stone Roses: S/T
 
If pressed I'd probably have to go with Doolittle as being my favorite.
