Doctor Casino, if you want to know what 1991 random chart-pop sounded like, start here loool
I thought Doctor Casino was at least somewhat aware of pop in 1991:Is there a name for that genre of turn-of-the-90s pop-rock with the positive vibes, huge guitar leads, and gated drums?

he was saying upthread that he didn't recognise a lot of the songs, is the only reason I said it
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 7 May 2012 20:23 (eleven years ago) link
Kylie didn't enter back into the US charts until 2001. Though I was under impression that her only song that charted in the 80's was Locomotion but "I Should Be So Lucky" and "It's No Secret" apparently did as well.

Instead of the YouTube links, you guys wanna explain briefly why they should or shouldn't be forgotten? I'd love read a few words on "Don't Shut Me Out," fer instance.

I prefer the darker "All That She Wants" to "The Sign," tbh.

I thought for the longest time that "All That She Wants" was a song about trying to get pregnant.

I didn't post it yet and I'm kinda youtubed out, but I hope no-one's forgotten When I See You Smile by Bad English. I think it's still one of those ballads that always ends up on a compilation every few years...I am not ashamed to say that I love love love it.If only because Jon Waite had that not-so-hot-dude with hot-sounding-singing-voice thing going on.
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 7 May 2012 21:35 (eleven years ago) link
I adore a couple of John Waite solo hits but Bad English is an excrescence. A relative bought me the tape of that first album in late '89. The only I can stand is the (forgotten!) second hit "Price of Love."
