88 and 89 are still the 80s....and GNRs first album was actually released in 1987, not 1988. Welcome to the jungle was released as a single in 1987 and while it charted in England, it flopped in America. It finally became a hit here in the US when they re-released the song in October 1988 after Sweet Child O' Mine finally hit #1. And the way I count, 1987 is still 3 years from being the 90s. : )
