I whole-heartedly adore composer Stephen Sondheim. Gypsy, Company and Follies, just to name a handful of Sondheim works, are among my all-time favorite musicals. So, in theory, I love the idea of this incomparable artist having an Oscar under his belt. But, Sondheim winning his Oscar for 1990's Dick Tracy? That's not something I can easily get on board with.
I do very much admire Warren Beatty's colorful, pleasantly idiosyncratic take on the classic comic strip - the picture looks sublime and Beatty has rarely had a more commanding screen presence. But the film's score, composed by Danny Elfman, with original songs by Sondheim, doesn't much move me.
Perhaps part of it is Madonna. She's a performer who, time and time again, has been robbed of Oscar recognition but her turn as Breathless Mahoney just doesn't floor me. Also, the songs here, including "Sooner or Later," are just rather undistinguished and fleeting in comparison to the bulk of the Sondheim songbook. Unlike most of the Sondheim catalogue, I wouldn't immediately know who the composer was on first listen. It's not a bad soundtrack by any stretch but I don't think it's quite an Oscar-calibur one either.
First off, the slightly rotten apple of the bunch here is "Promise Me You'll Remember," a Harry Connick, Jr.-performed tune which, much like The Godfather Part III itself, is nicely orchestrated but overlong and curiously hollow.
Young Guns II makes about as much sense as Mannequin and Beverly Hills Cop II as an Oscar nominee but its original song, Bon Jovi's "Blaze of Glory" is a tough-to-resist guilty pleasure rock record. I'm on-the-fence as to whether this or "Sooner or Later" is the third-best nominee of the line-up.
For me, '90 Original Song is really a close call between the remaining two contenders, Home Alone's "Somewhere in My Memory" and Postcards from the Edge's "I'm Checkin' Out." The former, composed by Oscar-winners John Williams and Leslie Bricusse, is, for my money, one of the best Christmas tunes of the past half-century or so (Williams' score for the film itself is terrific too). The latter, composed by the legendary Shel Silverstein of all people, is most memorable for its delightfully buoyant performance by Meryl Streep.
When I heard this song in 1990 I was thrilled because it sounded like the Faces of the 70s. It was plain rock and roll and had a timeless quality about it. I waited the entire 1980s for rock and roll like this to be back on the mainstream charts. The Replacements were the other rock band but not in the charts. It happened occasionally (Georgia Satellites and Guns and Roses) but not much. This song was originally recorded by Otis Redding, who wrote it with Allen Jones and Al Bell. It was the only cover song on The Black Crowes debut album which sold over five million copies.
A side note to this song. In 2012 a couple of Iranian uranium-enrichment plants were hacked and their computers shut down but not before blasting Thunderstruck at maximum volume like you are probably doing right now or will be soon.
An excellent list and I agree with the comments about it being a tough year, it would be for me as well. Couple songs for the ages, on different ends of the spectrum, Thunderstruck and Nothing Compares to you.
While this list is certain to generate some disagreements and discussion, it was meant more as a chance to recognize the great songs that have kept Prog relevant and exciting in a new era. There are thousands more that are certainly worthy, but these are the ones that percolated to the top as contenders for the best of the best.
The breakthrough track from the progressive metal outfit remains the perfect showcase for their ability to blend pure, aggressive metal with sophisticated, melodic moments. It was surely a sign for the direction the band would take years later.
The last great Prog album and song from one of the pioneering groups from the 80s. Geoff Tate never sounded better than on this track from their multiplatinum selling album. The band would fail to reach the same heights of commercial success but have since regrouped with their new lineup.
Anathema have the ability to turn the simplest of songs into massive powerful statements. This track builds from ballad to heavy Prog epic in only the way this band can, making for one of their best tracks.
From their celebrated album Remedy Lane, this album closing epic finds the Swedish band presenting everything that is inspiring about their music; the power, the emotion, the intensity, plus outstanding writing.
Few bands paved the way for progressive metal like Fates Warning. This track from the 1994 album remains one of their signature songs and is a lesson in how to write a technically impressive, yet melodic Prog hit.
Sometimes when I least expect it, I'll hear a song that will take me on a journey back in time. No matter where I am, whether its a drug store or a grocery store, or even in my car, the desire to do more music research always hits me at the craziest times. Even as we kick off the second week of 2022, I'm finding that 90s music is as popular as ever. Whether its the alternative scene out of Seattle or the unforgettable R&B / hip-hop scene, 90s music is still in demand by brides and grooms. This post will cover the very beginning of the 90s. While 1990 marked the end of my absolute favorite decade of music (the 80s), the music scene continued down the same path. That path would include some of the best soft rock songs of the 90s, dance music, rock, pop, and the scene oout of Seattle. 1990 was a year where the San Francisco 49ers were one of the best teams in NFL history, a gallon of gas was around $1.34, Seinfeld made its debut, and Home Alone was the biggest movie of the year. Since it appears that this 90s music nostalgia period that we're in end never ended, modern brides and grooms should Hold On as Wilson Phillips sang and enjoy this rocket ride back to the year 1990.
If you've spent any amount of time on my website, you know that I am a professional wedding DJ who is very much into the 80s. 80s music should definitely occupy a lot of space (in my opinion) on your wedding playlist. You will soon see (as you begin to scroll down and check out these song selections from 1990) that 90s music should also play a role in the development of your wedding playlist. For some of the Best 90s Songs For Your Wedding Playlist
"Hold On" Wilson Phillips
When I look back to 1990, I think of that year as the "Year Of Wilson Phillips". "Hold On" would be their first release from their self-titled album in early 1990. I was in the middle of my sophomore year of high school when these very lovely ladies would begin to occupy space on the adult contemporary charts. One of my clients added this song to their wedding playlist and it was at that time I began to see what a bride and her bridesmaids might do with this song. They'll get on the dance floor and sing every lyric at the top of their lungs. "Hold On" would peak at #1 on the Hot 100 and AC chart and began a streak of platinum-selling success for Wilson Phillips.
"Nothing Compare 2 U" Sinead O'Connor
Originally written and recorded by Prince, I was never really a fan of his version of this song. But when Sinead O'Connor seemed to come out of nowhere in the winter / spring of 1990, my ears perked up. Released in the winter of 1990, Sinead O'Connor's version would peak at #1 on the Hot 100 and Alternative chart, as well as #2 on the AC chart. The song would also hit #1 in over 15 other countries.

"Poison" Bell Biv DeVoe
If you are feeling like you just got a little whiplash from the abrupt shift of musical genres, get used to that! 1990 was one of those years that was all over the map. This enduring 90s Hip-Hip Song from Bell Biv DeVoe is in rotation by a lot of my wedding clients in the 2020s. "Poison" would peak at #3 on the Hot 100, and #1 on the Hot Black singles chart in 1990.
"Vision Of Love" Mariah Carey
There's nothing like featuring the beginning of Mariah Carey's career on my blog! Just 4 short years before she'd release her iconic Christmas song, she would hit the Billboard Hot 100 with her first single in the spring of 1990. You couldn't turn the radio on that summer without hearing Mariah Carey. "Vision Of Love" would mark the beginning of Mariah's iconic career. The song would spend many months on the Hot 100, peaking at #1 for 4 weeks.
"Cradle Of Love" Billy Idol
"Cradle Of Love" was one of the reasons I put this playlist of song selections from 1990 together in the first place. We had not heard from Billy Idol since 1987 when he covered the classic "Mony Mony" by Tommy James & The Shondells. "Cradle Of Love" would be the first single to be released from his album Charmed Life in May of 1990. The song would peak at #2 on the Hot 100 chart. Back in 1990, artists were still producing music videos that left indelible impressions on its viewers. If you click the link up above on the song title, you'll see why the music video made an impact on me being a teenage male in the summer of 1990.
"Pump Up The Jam" Technotronic
The late 80s and early 90s came with it a period of time that saw some of the most iconic dance music being released. I've highlighted this era of music on other posts. There are actually TWO volumes. Feel free to click on this link for Volume 1 Of The Best Era In Dance Music. I think one of the first times I heard "Pump Up The Jam" was when I was in the gym, but the song would peak at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100.
"All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You" Heart
If you watch the video to this song, the story is about a woman having a fling. Pretend you did not just read that :) Instead, think about "making love" to your partner on your wedding night after the greatest day of your life. Released in March of 1990, "All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You" would make it all the way to #2 on the Hot 100 chart. For more of the Best Power Ballads From The 80s And 90s,
