this Busta Rhymes/Flipmode Squad collab marked Mariah's first appearance in the Hot 100 top 10, top 40 and top 80 for the first time in almost two years and her first top 5 pop radio hit since *looks up on wiki...* 1996?! ...anyway, play a record released after a long hiatus

[LeSamourai]

Day 27: Don’t Forget About Us

Alice In Chains – Jar Of Flies


This was the only Alice in Chains CD I picked up back in the 90s. They were #4 for me out of the "big four" from Seattle. But as the years moved forward this proved to be unforgettable as it has easily become my most played release by any of the Seattle bands, and Alice in Chains dances with Nirvana around the #1 spot.

 

[Yer Ol' Uncle D]

[LeeVing]

John Williams, National Philharmonic Orchestra, Charles Gerhardt – The Empire Strikes Back (Symphonic Suite From The Original Motion Picture Score)

This is a "Symphonic Suite" John Williams wrote based on cues from the movie for live performances, not the exact score for the movie.

Day 26: Shake It Off
the Calgon commercial reference is the lyric that stands out the most to me on this song. play a record you heard in a commercial or something that sounds like it could be in a commercial

"Alright" was featured in a few commercials. I could swear they were in some Apple product ad too, but I couldn't find it.




Supergrass - I Should Coco

 

[gafacaode]

Day 27: Don’t Forget About Us
the Mariah hit I’d once considered the most forgettable until about a few months ago when it finally clicked for me. play a record you consider ‘unforgettable’ (for better or worse, or both!)

Weezer - S/T (Blue Album)

 

[gafacaode]

Day 28: Touch My Body

Grateful Dead - American Beauty

The prompt was careful not to mention which holiday. So I am gonna choose the next holiday (in the USA) which is The Fourth of July, Independence Day. Grateful Dead are not only in the conversation for the best American Rock Band of all time but American Beauty has become a 4th of July staple in our home. While not necessarily patriotic it is definitely American through and through.
