Geocache Description:

1990 .... A somewhat maligned year in the realm of popular music.  Does it deserve this reputation?   Let's see....


So I dug out an old mix tape from 1990.  Here's what I found:

Side A:

"Roam":  Seems like an appropriate geocaching song.

"Enjoy the Silence":  Biggest US hit for this group.

"Tom's Diner":  da-da DA-da, da-da DA-da

"Dangerous":  The duo that bridged the gap from ABBA to Ace of Base

"I Go To Extremes": If you're a fan of this guy as I am, you may be from the Northeast...

"Ready or Not":  Relatively forgotten R&B hit

"If Wishes Came True":  I predicted this song would reach #1, and it did!

Side B:

"Free Fallin":  Lots of LA references in this song

"No More Lies":  Spent 29 weeks on the Hot 100

"Cradle of Love":  Got lots of play on MTV that summer

"All Around The World":  Hit #1 in the UK, but not the US

"Get Up (Before the Night is Over)":  Dance group from Belgium

"King of Wishful Thinking":  From the Pretty Woman soundtrack

"Epic": Infamous video featured an exploding piano and a rather unfortunate fish
