It is TOTALLY time for another D'Angelo album. Been about 7 years since the last one, so he's due.

Also, totally time for another D'Angelo tour...I've heard nothing but stellar reviews from his Voodoo tour.

I remember this one thread kinda like this back in the day where ethan/trife professed a love for that song that went "she don't eat meat but she sure like the bone" and being dumbfounded by it.

"New Age Girl", Deadeye Dick. Funny, this was going through my head shortly before bed a few nights ago. And I couldn't for the life of me figure out why, 'cause I haven't heard it since it was a hit.

xpost: Gabrielle's "Dreams" owns.

That How Bizarre song

Jay Watts III (jaywatts), Thursday, 7 April 2005 20:50 (nineteen years ago) link

Who did that horrible hi-NRG type hit from around 1996 that went something like "WAAAAAAHdiscopop! You know you wanna make my mine! You know you wanna make mine!" and for its verse just repeated "I'm gonna get you baby... I'm gonna get you, yes I am!"? Urgh...that unnerved the hell out of me but I think I'll finally forget it when I learn what it's called and who does it...

Whoever did that song "Mr. Personality"...and then some other alternative radio staple that sounded very dated at the time (it sounded like something they'd play for the intro of E!'s Talk Soup or something...very 80's, sounding a bit like Momus' "I Was a Maoist Intellectual" at higher BPM) and I think it repeated something like "ex-junkie born again didn't have a clue" a hundred times over.

I've rekindled a long term relationship with this one today.

Johnny Fever, Thursday, 5 June 2014 22:39 (ten years ago) link

Title of this thread is basically why I listened to all the NOWs of the 90s a while back. Got some real forgotten gems on there. And by 'gems' I mean songs that were awful but somehow I can identify it within 3 seconds and know every word.

MarkoP, Tuesday, 13 January 2015 03:24 (nine years ago) link

A while ago I was at the supermarket and I heard a song that I consider a candidate for the most generic 90's one hit wonder possible, at least in terms of North American hits. A song that I definitely recognized, but was completely unable to place the identity of the band and had to Shazam it, and still didn't recognize the band name.

Moka, Tuesday, 13 January 2015 05:56 (nine years ago) link

Phew.... well and I don't know. I have all this laying around on a 90's playlist and they were all on the billboard top 10 but I very rarely hear them anymore out there:

Texas - Say What You Want
Fun Lovin' Criminals - Scooby Snacks
Butthole Surfers - Pepper
James - She's A Star
Masterboy - Land Of Dreaming
Queen - Heaven For Everyone
Passengers - Miss Sarajevo
Edwyn Collins - Girl Like You

All Saints - Never Ever
Blur - Country House

Monaco - What do you want from me?

I guess it depends where you live in. I don't know if any of these are still played in your country home. Maybe they were never popular in your country in the first place. I know 'Drinking in LA' was pretty big everywhere except the US, per example.

Moka, Tuesday, 13 January 2015 06:09 (nine years ago) link

K, hopefully you'll find something in there that you had forgotten about. I have a massive 90's list on my computer, these are a few that I remembered. There's probably more. Some of them are awful I know.

Moka, Tuesday, 13 January 2015 06:10 (nine years ago) link

Oh ok, just realized that the original post is 9 years old, so it's probably useless by now.

Moka, Tuesday, 13 January 2015 06:11 (nine years ago) link

Almost tempted to turn this thread into a Spotify playlist but it would feel like a skid mark next to my other lists that have music I actually love to listen to, not just for reminiscing.

Moka, Tuesday, 13 January 2015 06:13 (nine years ago) link

Anybody out there braver than me?

Moka, Tuesday, 13 January 2015 06:14 (nine years ago) link

There's also the Bryan Adams song he had with Melanie C... baby when you're gone? is that it?
