Yup. It's back. I know you've all been anxiously awaiting the completion of this project.
Some quick thoughts...
- My main association with 1990 is the beginning of my senior year of high school & playing football for the first time.
- Which ten year span featured the most change for me, 1980-1989 or 1990-1999?
- Picking songs for 1990 was MUCH harder than 1980. I've said it before & I'll say it again. The 90's are VERY underrated in terms of music. This point gets pounded home every time I listen to the 90's on 9, which is often.
On with the list...
HONORABLE MENTION: Just A Friend: Biz Markie, Fly High Michelle: Enuff Z'Nuff, The Humpty Dance: Digital Underground, Up All Night: Slaughter, Mentirosa: Mellow Man Ace, Ice Ice Baby: Vanilla Ice, No Myth: Michael Penn, Love And Emotion: Stevie B., Everybody Everybody: Black Box, So Close: Daryl Hall & John Oates, Blaze of Glory: Jon Bon Jovi, What It Takes: Aerosmith

Oh, but with us it always works"

"Quality I possess something I'm fresh
When my voice goes through the rest
Of the microphone that I am holdin'
Copywritten lyrics so they can't be stolen
If they are snap

Your voice will sink so please stay off my back
Or I will attack and you don't want that"

Down from L.A.
They were shooting pool all night
Sleeping half the day
They said I could crash
If I could find my own way
I told them you were leaving
On a bus to go away"

Nelson!
Snap deserved a better fate than No. 4! Of course, it also deserved a better fate than being relegated to being background music for a Huggies PullUps, either.
There was no song that got me more hyped before my HS football games than The Power.
I'm late to this party, but glad to see this is back! johnny gill? seriously? wow....
