39. FAST CAR - TRACY CHAPMAN
This one has held up, and sounds like it could have been written today. If you wanted to introduce this artist to someone, this and "Give me one reason" would be two nice songs to start with.
38. DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'VE GOT (TIL IT'S GONE) - CINDERELLA
I was never big into the hair bands from that time, but I never really classified these guys in that genre. They had a bluesier twist than most of the throwaway "metal" bands of that age. Listen to a song like "Gypsy Road" for an example.
34. BAD MEDICINE - BON JOVI
Their last real good song? I remember it going downhill from here.
33. TIME AND TIDE - BASIA
This is one that got a lot of play on the "smooth jazz" format in my town for a while (when there was a smooth jazz station, thanks Clear Channel)
30. WHEN IT'S LOVE - VAN HALEN
The first album after the "split" with DLR and with Sammy Hagar. Van Hagar had it's moments, but I always thought the David Lee Roth years were better, although "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge" was the best album of this era.
16. FALLEN ANGEL - POISON
One of the last countdowns featuring this band? Guns and Roses came along and started the process that bands like Nirvana finished of killing off hair metal. The reason why Bret Michaels is now doing reality shows and releasing "country" records.
1. DON'T WORRY BE HAPPY - BOBBY MCFERRIN
You COULD NOT get away from this song for years.
