The Peak, 04/26/07: It's 1993
« on: April 26, 2007, 07:16:03 AM »
Faintly familiar stuff: some Counting Crows (I think), Smashing Pumpkins' "Today" (despite Billy Corgan's delusions, he was always a far better power-popper than rocker), and Militia Etheridge's "If I Wanted To" (nice, until you remember that Meredith Brooks was just around the corner listening in).
“The choir of children sing their song.  They've practiced all year long.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.”

HM to Mellencamp's "Human Wheels," and not just because it's anything but "This Is Our Country."

Two unavoidables that year, back to back: Soul Asylum's "Black Gold" and Spin Doctors' "Two Princes."  The latter is still grating for me to hear even though I loved it the first dozen or so times.  So overplayed that I even came to broadly hate that drum sound.

BOS to Lenny Kravitz in hippie mode: "Believe," which stunningly missed the Top 40.  I didn't then imagine the creature he'd become.
