15 17 Duice - Dazzey Duks
10 08 Inner Circle - Bad Boys
05 05 Rod Stewart - Have I Told You Lately

28 23 Aerosmith - Livin' on the Edge

I like most of Aerosmith's comeback singles (1987-2001) but not this one so much. And not a big fan of "Love In An Elevator" either.

25 21 Green Jellÿ - Three Little Pigs

WHAT?! This was a pop hit?! I had no idea. I thought it was just a come and go novelty hit on rock radio for a few weeks and then vanished. I'm really surprised!

23 -- 95 South - Whoot, There It Is
15 17 Duice - Dazzey Duks
08 15 Tag Team - Whoomp! (There It Is)

I hate most of these Miami Bass songs. "Tootsie Roll" was another one. Annoying.

11 12 Expose - I'll Never Get Over You (Getting Over Me)

I hate most of these 'freestyle' girl groups (Sweet Sensation, Cover Girls, Jets, Seduction, etc). But I don't mind this ballad.

08 10 Billy Idol - Cradle of Love

It's good, but man there's nothing to it. Also, pretty creepy:

Well, it burned like a ball on fire
When the rebel took a little child bride
To tease, yeah, to know how to please you

06 04 Phil Collins - Do You Remember?

Love the video

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

4 good/ok (mostly just ok).

 

[scotchandcigar]

Maybe 2 or 3.

30 26 Linear - Sending All My Love
- Never heard of the band or the song. Had to pull it up on YouTube - horrible song.

29 DE George Lamond - Bad of the Heart
- Never heard of the band or the song. Had to pull it up on YouTube - horrible song.
In addition, the lyrics don't make grammatical sense. WTF is "Bad of the Heart" supposed to mean?

But when I went to the YouTube website thing, the following came up as a suggested video. I've never seen it before, but I feel like I need to take a cold shower now. Aside from the obvious visuals, the singing is actually really good, and the guitar work is amazing. And it's a 1991 performance, so it kinda fits.

Susanna Hoffs - Feel Like Makin' Love (Live Video Cover)​

​

 

[Channel98]

Linear – pronounced "Lĭ-NEAR" – formed in 1988 in Miami. Sending All My Love was written by Linear's 19-year-old lead singer Charlie Penacchio and producer Tolga Katas. In October 1989, it was the first single released by Futura International Records, a new label started by Penacchio and Katas in Sunrise, Florida. After Sending All My Love began to get airplay in Florida (on WHQT, WHYI, WPOW and other stations). it was re-released nationally by Atlantic and reached #5 on the Hot 100 in July 1990. Don't You Come Cryin' got to #70 in August 1990 and T.L.C. got to #30 in June 1992.

Linear's final single was a 1994 remake of Let's Go All The Way, an early 1986 top-ten hit by Sly Fox.

I give the drummer props too. He never looked straight forward.

Previous album = great. This was the lead single to the next album = bad. Just one example of this phenomenon.

13 12 Hootie & the Blowfish - Let Her Cry

From Body Count's "You're Fuckin' With BC":

"Ice-T, why do all your records have to be so violent?"
"Look - you don't like the records, you know what I'm sayin, go out and buy a fuckin' Hootie & The Blowfish album or some shit like that. Think I give a fuck?"
