2 July 2012: it's... a Year o' Mystery (1990)

[RGMike]

I'm betting on something '90s.

INXS "Disappear" would seem to indicate 1990 (?)

[Davefish]

Love this Cocteau Twins song. But no guesses for year from me.

[RGMike]

not recognizing song 2.

ETA: thanks, Davefish. AL loves her some Coc(teau)!

[Davefish]

The Depeche Mode of this set sounds pre-1990 to me...88?

[RGMike]

Words are very unnecessary. And so is "Enjoy the Silence".

nope. a 1990 hit.  Coulda been worse  -- coulda been "Personal Jesus".

uber-uber-LN: "Katrinahouse in your Soul" Sheesh.

[RGMike]

'Mats? Westerberg solo? Whatevs.

'Mats? Westerberg solo? Whatevs.

Mats, I believe. BOS from these quarters.

ETA: One of the better tracks from their swan song, All Shook Down ca. 1990. It's sounding like this and the Cocteau Twins are as close as we're getting to rarities today.

[Davefish]

I know Been Caught Stealing is a Katrina, but I still enjoy it.

[RGMike]

I know Been Caught Stealing is a Katrina, but I still enjoy it.

WOS from me -- never liked it much. Other than the Cocteaus this has been VERY standard-issue 1990.

[RGMike]

Why deny the obvious, child?  This is a very uninspired affair so far.

VHM Mr Simon, but I'm being generous.

[RGMike]

this endless mix of Primal Scream's "Loaded" is, well, endless.

[RGMike]

another frequent flier: Sinead.

BOS Joe Pesci.
