"Superstition" is an effing fantastic groove, and the song builds in layers to make a masterpiece!

The music of "Fool's Gold" is pretty good but the singer ruins it for me. Hearing him reminds me of Morrissey. Seeing him flit around like huffing hippie makes it even worse.

I love the Stone Roses. I don't get any Moz out of them. No drama queen or whining, just the Manchester sound the way it should be.

This was a big year for me. 65 of my 333 fav songs of all time are from 1992, that's about 1/5th of them!

It's when these great albums came out:

Alice In Chains - Dirt
Beastie Boys - Check Your Head
Cure - Wish
Faith No More - Angel Dust
Gin Blossoms - New Miserable Experience
Megadeth - Countdown To Extinction
Nine Inch Nails - Broken
Peter Gabriel - Us
Pop Will Eat Itself - The Looks Or The Lifestyle
Rage Against The Machine - s/t
REM - Automatic For The People
Soul Asylum - Grave Dancers Union
Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes

6 good/okay.
I heard the Shanice song, “I Love Your Smile” at CVS one day, and I thought well that’s a catchy tune, then I remembered it was an early 90’s hit.

I'm one of the few moviegoers who always stay for the end credits. Often there is an additional scene when the credits finish. Shanice and Jon Secada's If I Never Knew You played during the end credits of Disney's Pocahontas in 1995. It was released as a single but never charted. It didn't even make the adult contemporary chart. Hardly anyone knew the song even existed.

If I Never Knew You was written by Stephen Schwartz and Alan Menken and was first recorded by Judy Kuhn as Pochaontas and Mel Gibson as Captain John Smith but was deleted from the final film. (Irene Bedard voiced Pocahontas but Kuhn provided the singing voice.) The original song and accompanying animation was included in the 2005 DVD re-release. Here is the Shanice & Secada version:

I liked Jon Secada and Shanice so the song is good to me. Stylistically, the song reminds me of "Somewhere Out There".

That's one of my 'good' songs. I don't like it when anyone plays the version without the rap and spoken part. I prefer the full version where she gets all moody for a second then goes back to happy. Because it reminds me of a number of girls I've known over the years.

I always like Shanice. She had a few R&B singles that charted in the late 80s. Most were bubblegum. It looks like she had three more top 40 hits in the 90s.

I didn’t remember that song by title or artists name. So using my usual method, of scoring a countdown, I didn’t count it. All the discussion made me look it up. I’ll add it to my rating. That was a good pop song from the day. Catchy and up-beat.
