80smusicfreak, when was "Enjoy the Silence" released as a single in the U.S.?  I remember getting the 12" maxi-single around the spring of '90.  Criz & chris's previous posts in this thread led me to believe that ETS may have been released earlier in the U.K. (I do recall that "Personal Jesus" was released in the U.S. around November '89...)

I hear "Connected" all the time here on the east coast.  For once I wish radio would play "Step it Up" or "Elevate My Mind."

90's song you wish you'd never hear again on the radio but alas, someone plays it:

Another Bad Creation - Iesha

Last night on the drive home from work - it was later than usual so I tuned in to the news until a commercial break - then flipping through stations, I came across the only drive home mixshow, which is on the "urban contemporary" station and the DJ throws in this track.  Reminds me that the group was rightfully named...

I also hear 'Connected' a lot - it's quite overplayed on local radio stations. Come to think of it, most tracks are overplayed - that's why I hardly listen to the radio anymore.

Remarkably, there were four commercial singles released off the Violator album here in the U.S., and your memory appears to be spot-on. :-) Chronologically, they were as follows:

01) "Personal Jesus"  (November of '89) (hit #28 in March of '90)
02) "Enjoy the Silence"  (March of '90) (hit #8 in July of '90)
03) "Policy of Truth"  (July of '90) (hit #15 in October of '90)
04) "World in My Eyes"  (November of '90) (hit #52 in December of '90)

As for the U.K., it was the same four songs, and in the same order, but yes, w/ slightly earlier release dates:

01) "Personal Jesus"  (August of '89) (later hit #13)
02) "Enjoy the Silence"  (January of '90) (later hit #6)
03) "Policy of Truth"  (May of '90) (later hit #16)
04) "World in My Eyes"  (September of '90) (later hit #17)

Thank you for clarifying that.  I also like the whole Violator album; it was probably their last album I truly enjoyed.  I have all 4 U.S. Maxi Singles listed above, as well as the U.K. gatefold-sleeve 12" single of "Policy of Truth", Ultimix Remix of "World In My Eyes" and the Art of Mix Remixes of "Enjoy The Silence" (Quart of Quad - POS IMO), "Personal Jesus" (Pump & Stomp) and "World In My Eyes" (Mode to Cure - never knew Robert Smith & Co. covered this).

I only wish TSMCs were overplayed here. I got their latest album and I kind of like it through and through. THIS is what hip-hop and rap should have evolved into, IMO. I'd probably be into a whole different type of music if this is the way it were. No insults, no in-your-face annoyance (like Eminem), no screaming, no crappy beats (rap "music" IS an oxymoron!). Sigh. Just plain, urban, dancey music - kind of like some of the graffitti that catches your eye every now and then (rebellious, yet attractive). I couldn't praise these guys' style enough (and 80smusicfreak remembers this from the old board...haha :D  BTW, another Chris Isaak fan!? Awright!).

Can't say that I've heard of The Bluetones, but that shouldn't surprise anyone since radio doesn't play anything (I've been radio-free for almost 8 months! It was very easy to give up once I got a CD changer in the car :) ). The indie stuff I listen to is what other fans of Suede, Morrissey, and DeMode recommend - and even then I tend to go for the Electronic and EBM first before the guitar-driven music. Music from Metropolis Records, maybe Cleopatra and Beggars' Banquet, and, once in a blue moon, Projeckt 86. It's more hard-driven synthesizers than anything else approaching the style of Techno, but not as repetitive. Well, that, as well as 80s stuff I overlooked. I will give The Bluetones a spin. Hopefully, the CD listening store carries this.

I'm with everyone on this. Violator is the last album that I could listen from beginning to end. I only liked half the tracks from Songs Of Faith And Devotion, then there was the live album of the same name and with the same track listing, then the "Only When I Lose Myself" single came out (this was a good one) and was featured in their 86-98 singles comp., Ultra followed suit of which only ONE song stood out ("It's No Good"), and then back to liking half the songs from their Exciter album (I don't even bother getting the singles anymore since their B-sides pale in comparison to their 80s material - I'll be struck by lightning for saying this, but I can't help thinking thus :-/ Martin L. Gore is still a genius). Strangely enough, the members of DeMode would rate Ultra as their best work from an interview featured in their 86-98 singles collection DVD. They said something to the extent of feeling more comfortable working on it (seeing as to how David Gahan nearly derailed the future of the band due to his drug addiction :-/ He's better now and clean - I hope).

Speaking of K-Mart music, I heard Collective Soul's "December" and a track by Better Than Ezra (I forget which one it is - seriously, WHAT the he11 was the name of that song!?) while shopping at 3 a.m. at the local Super K. I should hang out there more often.

The Bluetones have recently released their 'singles' collection - if you can, get a hold of that. Might be hard seen as they're not a very international band. If you can download tracks, then my top three recommendations would definitly be 'Slight Return' ( Their biggest hit, top 2 in UK charts in '96), 'Marblehead Johnson' and 'Home Fires Burn'. :)

:P ;D Still, I have to give props to that station for at least airing one of DeMode's all-time best songs (IMHO). I love that intro! It's so...it's so ominous and dramatic; like the moment when one's vision becomes blurred and you get that chocking sensation in the throat...right at the moment when "truth" finally strikes home. Sigh.

I guess I'm not the only one to confuse this for an '89er. I could have sworn I saw the video on MTV in late 1989, but it was probably late 1990. Hmph, figures - a senior moment again...

The late-night music video show in Oz ("Rage") sometimes stiil plays some of these songs, but usually only by request of the guest VJ, or to "fit in" with that VJ's other choices.

e.g.

lots of wall-of-noise rock == Sonic Youth
fey screeching == Pavement (I *like* "Cut Your Hair"!  :P )
Swirly Brit guitars == Ned's Atomic Dustbin
Rock Chick == Liz Phair

and so on...

Hmmm...I heard "As I Lay Me Down" about a week ago. I also heard "Tell Me" rather recently. "Freshman" I didn't hear long ago either. But the rest, yeah...I haven't heard them in a while.

Well, Fluff Doody sampled it in "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down," and before that (circa 93) Ice Cube sampled "The Message" in "Check Yo'self."  Hope this helps.

2 more songs from the 90's that I wish they'd play on the radio nowadays are "Gangsta's Paradise" by Coolio and "How Come, How Long" by Babyface

I definitly agree with you on the Babyface song, but I always hear 'Gangsta's Paradise'!

No that song by Hadaway was in 1993 and "Please Don't Go" by KWS was either in 91 or 92. No Mercy was the group that did both songs late 96/late 97. I remember rocking to those No Mercy songs too.

"love you down" I no J

Tubthumping by Chumawamba


"Get what you give" (Radical?? maybe..loved that song..doesn't even sound 90s to me)



Any English language Selena song from 95, when she was killed

"Runaway" by the Coors (sp??) circa 1995

"Sukiyaki" a version by some group that sounded like Boys2men

I could go on forever..so many obscure songs, even in the 90s


End Quote

"You Get What You Give" was done by the New Radicals in late 98/early 99.

Selena did "If I Could Fall In Love" and "Dreaming of You".

"Runaway" was by the dance group Corona.

"Sukiyaki" was orginally done in the 80's but Pop/R&B group All 4 one covered it in the mid 90's.

Criz covered the rest for you.
