1989 is very mediocre imo. Music can sound different if it's on an album that has sold 4M in just a few weeks.

I generally don’t put much store in film awards – the Oscars or any other – since pure merit is hardly the only criteria on which these are judged or conferred. Many other factors come into play – PR machineries, popularity, career achievements, political imperatives, and so on and on – when judging or voting. For that reason, I stopped watching film award shows a long time ago. That being said, I still think the fact that Julianne Moore, one of the finest actresses of her generation, is yet to win an Oscar despite some incredible performances over the years is a travesty. Nobody can convince me that she didn’t deserve an Academy Award for her exquisitely understated performance as a frustrated suburban housewife in 1950s America in Far From Heaven the year that she lost out to Nicole Kidman in The Hours.
In fact, Moore was better than Kidman for her efforts in the very same movie – both actresses had roles of equal length in The Hours but Kidman was nominated for Best Actress while Moore was nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category while also winning a nomination for Best Actress for Heaven. But Hollywood doesn’t always appreciate subtlety and Kidman’s fake proboscis for her portrayal of Virginia Woolf won over the Academy voters.
There's somethin' 'bout the way the street looks when it's just rained
There's a glow off the pavement, you walk me to the car
And you know I wanna ask you to dance right there
In the middle of the parking lot, yeah
