Genesis "Throwing It All Away"
Source: R&R CHR (one week)
This song has no flavour what so ever, I did not like it at first listen and I really do not like it now. Should have released "Into Deep" as the follow-up to "Invisible Touch", the "Deep" song could have been a instant #1, really.
Lionel Richie "Dancing On The Ceiling"
Source: R&R CHR (one week)
What a mindless piece of recording. The follow-up was "Love Will Conquer All", great ballad!
Boston "Amanda"
Source : All the major charts!
Their sound is unmistakebly that "Boston" sound from a rock band that reformed. Not a bad song, but certainly not the list of my favourites. I thought that the song was basicly boring. I prefer "More Than A Feeling" which I played on my show last week! The latter peaked at #2 on the R&R CHR listing.
Nelly "Hot In Herrre"
Source : R&R CHR (multiple weeks)
One of the most overrrated hip hop stars in the millenium. This was indeed over spun in the clubs and on the radio it drove me almost over the top. Here is one positive note, I ranked this a couple of years ago at #101 for the 101 Greatest Pop Songs Ever, because of it's popularity based on my judgement.
Prince "Cream"
Source : All the major charts (I think)
As a rule of thumb, I rule anything that Prince puts out. I do like the other follow-ups such as "Diamonds & Pearls" and "Money don't Matter 2 Nite". But this one with that guitar riff and meaningless (IMO) lyrics kills it for me.
I will have more later on..
