#20SongsByYear #MusicChallenge 1990 Unranked Personal Jesus | Depeche Mode buff.ly/iJ6Y0lb 🎶 Reach out, touch faith🎶 I was today years old to find out there is no "and" between "reach out, touch faith" 😅 🫠 I have always heard one there and will continue to be an oddball and put it there!😆

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge Information Society (InSoc) 15>1 7️⃣ Think (1990) buff.ly/ETy0TzT 1st single from their 2nd album Hack. Starts with a dial-up internet connection, which was not a common sound in 1990! Think peaked at #28 on the Hot 100 and #5 on the US Dance chart.

#20SongsByYear #MusicChallenge 1990 Unranked Don't Wanna Fall in Love | Jane Child buff.ly/Yy0U3qS Whatever happened to Jane Child? She was EVERYWHERE with this track (#2 on the Hot 100). We were all fascinated by her haircut and chains! Ofc, she could play piano/keys/synth like a beast!

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge Information Society (InSoc) 15>1 8️⃣ Peace & Love, Inc. buff.ly/dzj9Ssz InSoc give a proper Orwellian video treatment to this single from their 2nd album, also titled P&L, Inc Check out the spoken lines b4 the music kicks in on the vid - still VERY relevant today!

Confessions on a Dance Floor - Twenty Years Edition is out today with bonus tracks and remixes. Plus, the non-stop mix is back and in lossless/HQ. Music to my ears today!

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge Information Society (InSoc) 15>1 9️⃣ Lay All Your Love On Me buff.ly/UWHBPlZ Who doesn't love a good ABBA cover, eh? The Radio Hot Remix (link above) is a jam!!!

#20SongsByYear #MusicChallenge 1990 Unranked Justify My Love | Madonna buff.ly/Sf2Sprw Banned by MTV so M sold it as a video single! Genius! 💰 Madonna, at the height of her Imperial Phase, released this controversial single 35 years ago (yesterday)!

#20SongsByYear #MusicChallenge 1990 Unranked Shocked | Kylie Minogue buff.ly/e5gbCux a UK #6 and Aria (Oz) #7 track that should have been released and promoted in the US!

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge Information Society | InSoc 15>1 1️⃣ 0️⃣ Over the Sea buff.ly/Cj8Lrwt Here's another from their perfect debut album. With a Captain Kirk spoken line intro, go ahead and beam us up!

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge Information Society (InSoc) 1️⃣ 1️⃣ Back in the Day (2007) buff.ly/o6ZJYWW A return to form after a period away - BITD sounds like it could be from one of their 90s releases. BITD appeared first as a digital-only release on the Oscillator EP.

#20SongsByYear #MusicChallenge 1990 Unranked Infinity | Guru Josh buff.ly/qpznDL8 The iconic sax! The '08 remix is a nice update to the original as well.

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge Information Society (InSoc) 15>1 1️⃣ 2️⃣ Going Going Gone (1992) buff.ly/kFwDZna From their 3rd album Peace & Love Inc, it was the last of their Tommy Boy label releases. Sadly, it was not promoted by the label, but there are 🔥 tracks on it!

#20SongsByYear #MusicChallenge 1990 Unranked Everybody Everybody | Black Box + Martha Wash buff.ly/7P0hcyG This one really should just be credited to just Martha, as it's her voice on 6 of 9 tracks on Black Box's album. However, Martha wasn't credited, so she sued and won! Go girl!⚡ 🙌

#20SongsByYear #MusicChallenge 1990 Unranked Touch Me (All Night Long) | Cathy Dennis buff.ly/9vi8x0c 1990 was a pivot year in music for me, as I'd rather buy CDs than food. I stumbled across this dance track and was hooked! Shep Pettibone among other A-list remixers worked with her also.

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge Information Society (InSoc) 15>1 1️⃣ 3️⃣ Attitude buff.ly/KVEHRCe From their untouchable debut album, this track gives much attitude indeed! As Star Trek fans, they've included samples from the series in this track as well as others (hint, hint) you'll see posted later.

#ArtistFave15 #InformationSociety (InSoc) 15>1 1️⃣ 4️⃣ Express Yourself (1999) buff.ly/sn12iYw Normally, covers of the Queen are not that good, but this one is an exception! Included on the Virgin Voices compilation, EY is very drum and bass & very InSoc!

#20SongsByYear #MusicChallenge 1990 Unranked Getting Away With It | Electronic buff.ly/VqnJvKL What do you get when you mash up the Pet Shop Boys, New Order, and the Smiths? The supergroup Electronic, of course! Released seemingly out of the blue (to me), this single was right on time!

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge #InformationSociety 15>1 1️⃣ 5️⃣ Baby Just Wants (2007) buff.ly/GZxwBlx Opening track from their album Synthesizer that includes the familiar computer chirps and is all about that bass!

#20SongsByYear #MusicChallenge 1990 Unranked Mama Said Knock You Out | LL Cool J buff.ly/rebusOu A fave in my household - if my wife gets upset with me, she’ll be like, “Mama said…!” Of course, I reply with “I’m gonna…!” 🤣 😂

#ArtistFaveLP #Eurythmics Savage 10>1 2️⃣ Beethoven (I Love to Listen to) buff.ly/gI5AA2p An anthem and a mantra!🎶 💙 🎶 I was thinking about something sleek To wrap around my tender throat I was dreaming like a Texan girl! A girl who thinks she's got the right to everything! 🎶

So, the new Lily Allen record... Devastating, intense, brutally honest, painful, amazing ... and I can't stop spinning it. West End Girl is a career highlight about the dissolution of her marriage Yes, Lily can be polarizing, but listen anyway Start here: spin "P**** Palace" buff.ly/BGurga0

#Howl-A-Ween #MusicChallenge Day 27 Haunted Jukebox | Saint Etienne

#ArtistFaveLP #Eurythmics Savage 10>1 3️⃣ I Need a Man buff.ly/Y2z2USE 🎶 I don't need a heart breaker, fifty-faced trouble maker Two-timing time taker, dirty little money maker Muscle-bound cheap skate, low down woman hater Triple-crossing double dater, yella bellied alligator🎶

#ArtistFaveLP #Eurythmics Savage 10>1 4️⃣ Savage buff.ly/ScWEHe2 Title track from the LP & what a delivery! Annie socks it home, bringing their avant-guard masterpiece to a close. 🎶 Everything is fiction All cynic to the bone So don't ask me to stay with you Don't ask to see me home🎶

#Howl-A-Ween #MusicChallenge Day 26 Spirits in the Material World | The Police

#ArtistFaveLP #MusicChallenge #Eurythmics Savage 10>1 5️⃣ You Have Placed a Chill in My Heart buff.ly/vaVLSdO 🎶 I'll be the figure of your disgrace A criss cross pattern upon your face A woman's just too tired to think About the dirty old dishes in the kitchen sink 🎶

#Howl-A-Ween #MusicChallenge Day 25 Hanky Panky (Bare Bones Single Mix) | Madonna

#ArtistFaveLP #MusicChallenge #Eurythmics Savage 10>1 6️⃣ Brand New Day buff.ly/x75DtCT Final track on Savage with a message of hope. We needed it in ‘87 and also now.

#Howl-A-Ween #MusicChallenge Day 24 Dreams | Fleetwood Mac

#Howl-A-Ween #MusicChallenge Day 23 Devil Inside | INXS

#ArtistFaveLP #MusicChallenge #Eurythmics Savage 10>1 7️⃣ I’ve Got a Lover (Back in Japan) buff.ly/3Fkiop5 Love Annie’s soulful outro! 🎶 I was bitter when I met you I was eloquent with rage Like honey from a poisoned cup I flowed from stage to stage🎶

#Howl-A-Ween #MusicChallenge Day 22 Sweet and Low (Single Remix) | Deborah Harry (1989) buff.ly/lLPq19F

#Howl-A-Ween #MusicChallenge Day 21 A Trick of the Night | Bananarama (1986) buff.ly/YS4nnLv

#ArtistFaveLP #MusicChallenge #Eurythmics Savage 10>1 9️⃣ Heaven buff.ly/pVI7ALG Going back to their experimental roots, Heaven is not your traditional track. It’s a bit of a disco remix or dub version of a song we haven’t heard the full version of yet. Which is brilliant and very savage.

#ArtistFaveLP #Eurythmics Savage 10>1 1️⃣ 0️⃣ I Need You buff.ly/ZdPhfeZ With Dave on acoustic guitar and Annie's soaring voice, this track is sublime! 🎶 I need you to really feel the twist of my back breaking I need someone to listen to the ecstasy I'm faking 🎶
