Lol. This one actually sounded vaguely familiar, but maybe it's some kind of stockholm thing

I can only go based on what others say and my personal experience (didn't care about girls and liked hanging out with boys until one day I really really cared about girls in a way I never cared about boys. I still don't get how that happened. The thought of kissing was gross!). Here's where I specul...

Back when this came out, I listened to this like 5 times in a row. Love it.

It's heartbreaking for trans kids that this is being legislated this way, but I do agree that there needs to be a solution. The best one I came up with is three teams, men, women, and all/coed. Trans kids who have too much or little testosterone may have to be relagated to the "all" team. ...

I love love love the black and white aesthetic Janet used in the Rhythm Nation days.

poorpete

Still kinda fun for me. Cool to see these british dance rock bands who incorporate hiphop beats and sampling (and hats?) succeed. Surprised they did so well. That genre will soon be drowned out by grunge and pop punk, but it'll be back in a decade or so... But agree too, there are so many "this...

1991 and the sax solo is still a thing!

Hot take: they are not quite children, but not quite adults. They seem to be in a kind of transitional phase between the II.

Solid song made me forget I was about to be hit with the whistle register!

poorpete

Top 3 to beat
Motownphilly
Unbelievable
Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)

More than Words a close 4.

poorpete

It good. Has bit of a Bonnie Raitt sound, which eventually becomes the Sheryl Crow sound. Also Sam Cooke's first secular song was You Send Me and this gives off similar harmless love vibes.

poorpete

I agree, not much to say about this, but to not comment means we can't move on to the next one. So. Uh. It's good. With those glasses and hair looks a bit like Brittany Howard

The absolute best Monster Ballad. "It's Awesome!"

Okay so 3,4,5, didn't happen, but maybe 3,6,9!

Alternative Rock + Dance + HipHop + Cowbell = yes please

First great one of '91. Will it go 3-4-5 like in '90?

Also forever props to Martha Wash

Going back to Bryan Adams for a second... It was probably 1993, and I was on the bus as it drove down Coon Hill Road. I had a long bus ride, a long solitary time, which I spent mostly listening to music. I had a cheepo portable audio player and was listening to the pop radio station. This song came ...

Is the rule that if you read a drunk post but want to respond, you write it here?

Is post-hardcore similar to post-punk? Taking what hardcore did but expanding it beyond its rigid musical and lyrical roots? Or is it more a generational change.

poorpete

I like Waiting Room more, love love love the false start and crowd going along with it, but feel the winner was more grunge. This is hardcore right?

poorpete

I can't believe that U Can't Touch This only ranked 55 for the year. That floors me. Via wikipedia Because the song was not initially released as a single, listeners had to purchase the album, which as a result, went on to sell more than 18 million copies,[7] gaining multi-platinum certifications f...

More like grandchildren of Ozzy and HAIRiet!

BTW, listening to a bit of Ricky Nelson for a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame project I'm a part of and--- for the first major broadcast-age teen idol -- he's very good!

poorpete

Good call. The internet seems equally confused which is understandable. I wonder if Napster is too to blame, because that site was full of mislabels that have continued confusion today.

poorpete

it's fine

According to Wikipedia, "According to Billboard, the song is about sex"

Two "just want to" songs in a row. The latter, which has Sade vibes, is the better of the two. Like early Heart better...

Been brought into the twitter music poll community with open arms. Some fun ones this month, that seem to be March specific, due to the whole march madness stuff. Here's a fun one: March Plaidness, picking the most grunge song ever, since you mentioned Fugazi earlier... https://twitter.com/marchxnes...

Solid completion of a great music trilogy
GoGos' "Vacation" -> Madonna's "Holiday" -> Janet's "Escapade"

poorpete

There it is!

Hot take: greatest MC Skat Kat song ever.

poorpete

AND WE'RE BACK!! Hugely important track in the history of music (Update: maybe a little overboard with that, but the first major house track on this list, right?). Still slaps.

poorpete

It's clear that Pop and R&B are going strong but Rock needs some kind of upheaval.

Like both but agree this is a step down from the first five. I run in internet circles who care about who is and isn't in the Rock Hall, will say that few talk of Phil Collins solo but I think he's deserving for his R&B fuelled 80s, but I think he won't because he's very uncool and his saccharin...

Quora users are as mad as Kyle https://www.quora.com/What-percentage-of-the-ice-in-Antarctica-is-made-of-penguin-urine Most agree, they don't urinate, and if you count all waste, it's still be minuscule. Except one answerer, who says "3% of the ice in Antarctic glaciers is penguin urine." ...

poorpete

I bet bet bet this started as a theoretical problem solver in a math or physics class. "Imagine if every penguin pees 4 oz of water a day" kinda thing. Then a student took it as true.

poorpete

This as an incredibly frustrating FAQ
https://askinglot.com/can-penguins-pee

Do penguins pee? No
What color is there pee? Yellow
How much do they pee? 3% of Antartica.

So maybe 120 trillion penguins ever
As for guano "made almost entirely of nitrogen, phosphate and potassium"...

Could be true, in an "every breath you breathe contains at least one since particle breathed by Sir Isaac Newton," kinda way. # Number of penguins ever # of Gallons of pee each pee in their lifetime % of that pee is water % of pee that was peed on Antarctica Still seems like a lot. And pro...

1990 you're doing GREAT

4/4 solid songs, but the last 2 are a cut above.
Poison maybe the apex New Jack Swing that wasn't by Janet.
Sinead's got looking downward down! Like Ilsa in Casablanca...

Morning! Two solid hits to start

Eternal Flame, now added to the best of '89. So good, always fun to play on guitar or piano. Doesn't rock like the other great Bangles songs, but they were always Beatlesque and we don't punish Beatle ballads, and this one's top notch. Living Years I liked until my teen years, when I really started ...

3 Great Abdul songs, but none feature MC Skat Kat. 0/10 to 1989
