Officially released in fall of 1990 although didn't hit it big til next year... "Man in the Box" by Alice in Chains. The rest of the album isn't great but "Dirt" and "Jar of Flies" are.

yeah sometimes I put "Man In A Box" after "Girl In A Box" on 1990 related mix things

too bad "Living in a Box" wasn't 1990

'Roam' by The B-52s. Still sounds very fresh to my ears now.

...and "Deadbeat Club"

Probably "Little Fluffy Clouds" or "Humpty Dance".

xp Really? Weird, I remember it coming out in early '90. Richard Roeper (of Ebert & Roeper "fame") wrote a column in the Chicago Sun-Times where he excoriated PE for (I shit you not) their "bad grammar" on that song.

The top tens of 1990, ranked.

For once, I agree almost completely. On the money.
Then I saw that BBD Poison is listed as meh, and realized that this is a list from some alternate universe that is almost exactly like ours except for 1 detail.

Leaden sexism. Didn't even need it then, not when his New Edition bros released comparable hits and BBD wrote and produced Another Bad Creation and the first Boyz II Men album.

watching the video for Nothing Compares to U again I am embarrassed but also really moved

Groove Is in the Heart and Vogue also still seem really great in retrospect

"in retrospect"

so “Kool Thing”, “Welcome to the Terrordome”, and “911 Is a Joke” were not part of the Billboard top singles that year
― Dan S, Wednesday, 13 March 2019 01:53 (five years ago) link
settle for "Knockin' Boots"
― Let's have sensible centrist armageddon (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 13 March 2019 02:04 (five years ago) link
lol
― Dan S, Wednesday, 13 March 2019 02:09 (five years ago) link
"Kool Thing" is one of my favorite songs of all time, don't care about billboard, would have to vote for it as best song of 1990
― Dan S, Wednesday, 13 March 2019 02:26 (five years ago) link
not only was I unsurprisingly annoying in this thread but I never once mentioned "Mama Said Knock You Out."
