October 1990: Goo Goo Dolls, Iron Maiden, Skinny Puppy, Galaxie 500, Pet Shop Boys, The La's

October 1990 is another month so packed with new music releases that we’re doing not one but TWO podcast episodes to cover it all. On Part One, we talk about Hold Me Up, the third studio album from Goo Goo Dolls that marked the emergence of Johnny Rzeznik as the band’s frontman; No Prayer for the Dying, a solid entry from punk metal gods Iron Maiden; the self-titled debut (and only proper album) from the influential Britpop band The La’s, known for “There She Goes,” a song you literally could not avoid in the 90s and early 2000s; This is Our Music, the final album from American indie dreampop band Galaxie 500; Behaviour, an album in the vein of Depeche Mode’s Violator from British synthpop duo Pet Shop Boys; and Too Dark Park, a bracing environmentally-themed hell-vision from crushing industrial psycho legends Skinny Puppy.
