Granted, in 1987 I was too busy trying to earn a degree and not paying attention to music as much, but I don't really see much difference in popular sound between those two years. Right up to the early 1990s, when things like Four Non Blonde's What's Up and Sheryl Crow's Leaving Las Vegas hit the airwaves, gloss and overproduction remained king. And, really, REM's Document was hardly a standard bearer for the sound of the time.
