lolz remember when Nirvana changed everything?

I was in college at this point, listening almost exclusively to indie rock, hip hop, and various British stuff so yr analysis is (shockingly!) once again completely wrong

I mean I guess I gotta give it to Regulate, altho I certainly didn't like it at the time.

I also find that this is not the strongest list of songs there is (as my original comment also indicates), but there is always something good in the hitlists. At least in the British ones, which are usually more musically eclectic than the Billboard ones (all AOR in 1980, all R&B today)

oh is this a British list? that would explain a lot.

They just sound so.... dated. I know a huge number of chart hits never age particulary well, but this ones... There's too much ugly synth-work and rubbish production. Pretty sure that asides 'dawn penn' and 'louis armstrong' I would surely skip every single one of these after the 15 second mark... yet, those two sound completely out of place with the rest of the list... I wasn't even aware this were from 1994.

ten years pass...

The video for the brian Adams/sting/rod 3 musketeers song is pretty funny

brimstead, Monday, 18 March 2019 00:48 (five years ago) link

recriminations from the nitpicking woke (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 18 March 2019 00:49 (five years ago) link

Amazing how much better nearly all this stuff is compared to the ~90 percent garbage of 89-92. Even some of the no-votes stuff like Real McCoy, Maxx, Enigma and The Grid is great.

Indeed. I actually wouldn't mind hearing some of these again.

Ace of Bass almost single-handedly drove me away from pop radio in '94.
