    8 years late but as soon as UB40s started playing, I said “oh fucking putrid” out loud to myself. A band that’s virulently unpalatable to anyone with a fully developed frontal lobe

    "On record, she was Debby Boone." Funny you should say that, because she covered "You Light Up My Life" and did it a thousand times better than Debby.

    I can kinda see why some may have been weird or critical of whitney houston doing Im your baby tonight, like was briefly mentioned, she isnt Janet Jackson, this song feels more like a Janet Jackson song. I could see Janet performing that song.

    I was forced to listen to UB40 over and over at the pool hall/bar I worked at. Out of tune drunk chicks rushing to the bar to get a glass of Riunite soda "wine" so they can howl together like animals in heat, red red wine, and that middle "rap" section of that song… YES I'm raving! YES I'm scarred!

    10. ABC, baby! Todd, you hatin' 😉

    9. Fair, but I loved Beavis doing it.

    8. Whitney sounds great. The song was overplayed, but I think you're being influenced more by the terrible video.

    7. UB40 is tragic, because they were good. Their first album is right in there with the English Beat and that late 70s early 80s second wave British ska thing. Then they started ruining love songs

    6. No argument. Vanilla did some fire, but this was not it.

    5. Temu Richard Marx. I do remember this, but its success must've been due to some sort of club mix.

    4. Okay, f*ck you on this. This is a nice love song. Also, I'm 44, so I do remember all of these in real time.

    3. I liked Justify My Love at the time, but it doesn't hold up. She ended up making a good version of it with Human Nature.

    2. From a Distance is ham fisted, to be sure, but Bette has a great voice, the chart is nice, and it's hopeful in an oddly gnostic way, where the ultimate creator isn't actually the hands on force in this world as Christians imagine him. The message is that it's up to us.

    1. This song is smarmy great. I'm good at this one, and it brings the house down at karaoke. For all of its flaws, it is a good vocal melody line, and you as a musician for sure know this.

    I was born in 1977, so 1991 was my JAM! Sure, TONS of 1 hit wonders but I do love Rico Suave and ABC (love "Iesha"). Music is subjective I guess, but if you were hanging out in the summer of 1991, there was NO WAY you were not dancing to many of these jams.
