Or so the clue of "When Wings and Northern Exposure came on the air" would indicate.

This is one of those years where the output/potential ratio is typically low.

you're onto something-- certainly Roseanne's bleating makes Mr Van Winkle seem talented by comparison.

Awful set. I'll BOS Midnight Oil if for no other reason than that I enjoyed it the first 1,000 times I heard it. But man.... not even a semi-hey to be found.

EDIT: Upon further review, I've upgraded this set to "Meh".

I recently purchased a 5 cd collection of GM, including Still Got the Blues and Blues For Greeny, a collection of Peter Green covers.  Pretty cool set, for like 12.99 (can't remember exactly what I paid, but it wasn't much).

Me too!  ILC did a lot of great parodies of popular songs, and they also spoofed the videos.
Like so much these days, they're on Youtube, and watching a few of them back-to-back can
make for an entertaining half-hour.

WOS Blues Traveler.

Yet another artist that doesn't deserve the drubbing they get on this board.  I can fully understand
not liking his stuff, especially if one doesn't care for harmonica.  But you have to admit that he is
talented and can play it.  For myself, I like most of his "hits," but they've largely moved into
the over-played category.  I'd like to hear deeper cuts, but I don't enjoy his work quite enough
to buy any CDs.

I like it, and even bought the CD back then.  I would put this into the vague "New Age" category,
which is another genre I enjoy.  Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Patrick O'Hearn, Shadowfax, etc.

I would have suggested some Young MC.  Stone Cold Rhymin' was released in 1989, but
I'm sure it was on the charts in 1990 and that's the year I associate it with (and since when
has the actual release year stopped RR before?)

AL played a bunch of good, fun rap (that one, Sir Mix-a-Lot, Eminem). Much as I hate the Vanilla Ice hit, I'm assuming it's appearance means we might get some good stuff (but please -- no "Rico Suave").

Ah, I like that song!  Sure, the lyrics are stupid, but that criticism applies to many, many songs.
Consider just the music.  There must be an instrumental version from a 12" single out there
somewhere.  It's part of a whole genre -- goofy dance music.  I'm Too Sexy, Macarena, Mambo No. 5,
Walk Like An Egyptian... it could be a 10@10 theme set!
