Few artists from the early MTV era combined sophistication, melody and emotional warmth quite like Nick Heyward.

Oh yes, 1988 seemed like the dark ages for some music fans in our beloved decade. The magic of the early '80s was gone, and FM waves had been invaded by hair metal and teen pop queens. But there were some albums still worth discovering, including Tracy Chapman's self-titled album and a really fun (if not also dark) disc by Siouxsie and the Banshees. This week we again honor the year 1988. Stuck in...
