The slate from yesterday and this morning...
Was (Not Was) - Are You Okay?Vanessa Williams - The Right StuffWill to Power - Journey HomeWilson Phillips - s/t
...has been fine I guess, fair-to-middlin', not many album tracks exceeding the better singles that I already knew, occasionally real bad (about half of that WNW album...sheesh), mostly making me wonder how inclined I am to continue with this project.
But hey whattayaknow, listening to Salt-N-Pepa's Black's Magic rn and it's real effing good. Which may be news to precisely no one but me.

was some sort of unfortunate outlier from this era, but there are tracks exactly like it on the Was (Not Was) and Will to Power albums from '90. WTF was happening.
Bands just felt really compelled to do an updated 90s take on Eric Burdon and War's "Spill The Wine".

These songs are a much different animal (no pun intended). It makes me wonder if Joe Frank just started to blow up around then.

I heard punk broke, not sure if anybody fixed it.
