OMG I remember this one! An old friend had shown me this one about 6 years ago, I've been looking for the title since then - thank you so much!

And this one is from the 80s, but is begging to be posted here.

I thought that was from the 90s.

Was the Backstreet Boys intentional, or a mis-paste? Because no.

Two very different sounds from the 90s but likely from artists who respect one another:

One of the two songs I like by White Zombie. I think Rob Zombie showed his true genius through directing film and standing up for animal rights. Besides More Human Than a Human and Dragula, White Zombie is too much like a more comic book version of the Misfits. Even Dragula was named from the Munsters, which I think is pushing the kitsch, maybe a Gen X thing I just don't understand. ..

Tori Amos is the only other female musical artist I like nearly as much as Lana del Rey. Of living musicians, Tori Amos, Jared Leto and Lana.

Please welcome; The 90's

Oh oh oh. .OK like I think Kid Rock should likely be in Donald Trumps presidential cabinet, because that's exactly how unqualified they both would be, but this is one of the catchiest songs written in my lifetime, like the 1999 version of Safety Dance by Men Without Hats.

It's a critical solution
And the east coast got the blues
It's a mass of confusion
Like the lies they sell to you

You got a glass jawed toothache
Of a mental disease
An they be runnin' round back
See 'em line up on their knees
Cause the kiss ass sycophants
Throwin' penance at your feet
When they got nowhere else to go
Watch 'em come in off the streets
While they're bangin' out front
Inside their slammin' to the cruch
Go ahead an throw me to the lions
And the whole damn screamin' bunch
Cause the pissed-off rip-offs
Are' everywhere you turn
Tell me how a generation's
Ever s'posed to learn

This fire is burnin'
And it's out of control
It's not a problem you can stop
It's rock n' roll

I read it on a wall
It went straight to my head
It said Dance to the tension
Of a world on edge
We got racial violence
And who'll cast the first stone
And sex is used anyway it can be
Sometimes when I look out
It's hard to see the day
It's a feelin' you can have it
It's not mine to take away

Lost in the garden of Eden
Said we're lost in the garden of Eden
And there's no one's gonna believe this
But we're lost in the garden of Eden
This fire is burnin'
And it's out of control
It's not a problem you can stop
It's rock n' roll
Suck on that

Looking through this point of view
There's no way I'm gonna fit in
Don't ya tell me what my eyes see
Don't ya tell me who to believe in
I ain't superstitious
But I know when somethin's wrong
I've been draggin' my heels
With a bitch called hope
Let the undercurrent drag me along

Lost in the garden of Eden
Said we're lost in the garden of Eden
And there's no one's gonna believe this
But we're lost in the garden of Eden

Most organized religions make
A mockery of humanity
Our governments are dangerous
And out of control
The garden of Eden is just another graveyard
Said if they had someone to buy it
Said I'm sure they'd sell my soul

This fire is burnin'
And it's out of control
It's not a problem you can stop
It's rock n' roll
Lost in the garden of Eden
(An we ain't talkin' about no poison apple or some missin' rib ya hear)
Said we're lost in the garden of Eden
And there's no one's gonna believe this
Said we're lost in the garden of Eden
This fire is burnin'
And it's out of control
It's not a problem you can stop
It's rock n' roll

This was 90's!?

Cool song still.

That is surprising.

Favorite Sheryl Crow song:

And this song goes with it (for me) and I wonder if anyone else here even remembers it.

In fact if this was Facebook, I'd like my own post, but I'll just quote it instead.

So succinct.
