Is this all that's left of grunge? Poppy and bright but monotonish and down too.

poorpete

He's a minister now and to my surprise no longer Montell Williams either.

poorpete

Gonna dismiss this as a throwaway Boys II Men track but it does get into a good groove by the end.

poorpete

So Backstreets Back was the first song I knew from them, so it was very confusing to me. The only thing the song didn't have was someone going "I'm back, did ya miss me?" which I swear was in every other comeback single in the 00s. Oh that Max Marin sound that took over the world. Even a c...

I've got a whole lineup of songs ready to go.

Whattaaabout

poorpete

I always go into a Sarah McLachlan song like "meh" and leave impressed and sometimes moved. This is a solid tune.

poorpete

More sampling Nile Rodgers and showing the Nile (on a map. it counts).

poorpete

Ooh a minimal standard, hehe

poorpete

Woah! Another repeat from last year!

poorpete

Sampling Nile on the Nile.
Says a lot that with every new genre people go, what if this but disco? It works!

Also Hype Williams direction again!

Also this is on a few "worst ever" lists, and it must be because of overplaying cause I haven't heard in years and this slaps!

poorpete

I did exactly that. Took a bit to get moving but hit its stride and took on some very serious real stuff which is welcome! The last episode I don't think completely stuck the landing, as I dunno if anything could have. Messy ending for a messy subject.

poorpete

I read the wiki on them too, and it was all familiar because I think I read their wiki three years ago after listening to their Writing On The Wall album which has four on the cover. And obviously I was around when they first were out. So no doubt in a few years I will forget again.

poorpete

4 of them?

poorpete

Oh yeah, it was like up there with White Christmas in sales, right? I'm kinda surprised though that it was a lower mark in the second year, cause usually songs slowly work there way up to #1 and then oversaturate and fall off. In this case it goes up quickly and slowly fades. Eeenteresting.

poorpete

I was wondering if this would happen!!! Sometimes songs appear on two years' lists but rare to get to the top 30 for each. Has this happened before this one?

I know this happens for albums in the 2010s with Adele's 21, which was #1 for two years.

poorpete

Wow still getting fade outs in 98

poorpete

Janet! Not my favorite chorus but dang the music. That Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and Janet started with the Prince template and got to here in just over a decade is so impressive.

poorpete

Ubiquittttyyyy

poorpete

Not me, this is ubiquity.

poorpete

Trying to fresh ears this, instead of my biases and there's a lot to like. I think this is the best of the three monster hits off this album. Those Mutt Lange-produced background harmonies are good and are held-back from his usual Def Leppard-style ones he throws in.

poorpete

#1 only vaguely remember
#2 was rightly huge, surprised it's not #1. I love the funky and weird music behind their solid vocals. I associate it with Timbaland but obv it was more prevalent.

poorpete

Is it the same time
As when it's the twenty se-
cond of Loneliness?

poorpete

Hey it's young Robyn
Having fun with composites
Better stuff to come

poorpete

In the first four tourneys no women artists have won, none even reached the semifinals.

This year two reached the semifinals, and one has reached the finals, and that one is KNOCK ON WOOD doing well!!!

poorpete

Fake Name AS Fake Name
Why did videos back then
Start so quietly?

poorpete

Sorry if you told me this was a parody I'd believe it.

poorpete

Been finally listening to the Biggie and Tupac season of the Slow Burn podcast, so good.

poorpete

No digggity... Haven't heard this in maybe 20 years... It's great!

Also didn't notice until now the sample

poorpete

My guess is no Missy until 2002ish. TLC was last year I think and will for sure be back in a year or two.

poorpete

Hype Williams fish eye
Puff hypes Tiger and mugs us
Biggie hardly there

Angry white bro rock begins
Even so... it's good.

It good

poorpete

Better than I remembered. With mmmBop ones that I like everything but the too-hooky-thus-annoying choruses.

poorpete

I think of this as a Timbaland kind of sound, but it's Jermaine Dupri producing. Good job Jermaine!

poorpete

I knew I'd cry no matter the verdict, but relieved my cries came with justice.

Aside, dunno why some in the GOP have a definition of impartiality that means showing equal sympathy to a victim and convicted murderer Derek Chauvin.

poorpete

That's my fault. I should have picked a non-difficult more-succinct way of explaining my bridge explanation thoughtfully instead of injecting needless extraness to sound pseudo-thoughtful. Toot Toot!

poorpete

Don't think I've heard this but it's good. But the video falls into an awful trope in the bridge: having a model lip sync the lyrics of a non-rail-thin female R&B singer. Boooooooo

poorpete

People have suggested a Verzuz competition between En Vogue and Destiny's Child, and with each forgotten classic reappreciated, I think that'd be awesome and competitive. actually if the blurs are right here the "Ladies Night" could be TLC vs. En Vogue. Maybe... https://www.instagram.com/p...

Skipped

poorpete

Oh no, two motorcycle accidents to start a video in a row! Rule of threes make me worried for #5

poorpete

The rewrite a hit as a requiem is #1 and #3. I wasn't a fan of either of the two in my youth but now understand my enjoyment wasn't the point, it was their raw expression.

Double A Side! One of the weirder things the Beatles popularized...

Hey some Grunge-adjacent material, though their pretty looks and lyrics probably disqualified them. This is an era where good songs become huge if they mention God.

poorpete

Andrew Sullivan never trends for his good opinions, only his really bad ones.

poorpete

So fricken 80s. Never heard this

poorpete

After the Tupac video, this is downright cute. Sharing vanilla ice cream!
