In this episode of Past Tens, hosts Dave and special guest co-host Beth Grampetro travel back to June 11, 1994, to explore the Billboard Top 10 hits of the week. They delve into popular songs such as Aaliyah's 'Back and Forth,' Tony Braxton's 'You Mean the World to Me,' and Ace of Base's 'The Sign.' Can you tell this was written by AI? You can, can’t you. We’re fooling no one. Sorry. Anyway, the discussion includes music trivia, personal anecdotes, and the transformation of country hits into popular R&B tracks, particularly John Michael Montgomery's songs turned hits by All-4-One. The hosts humorously banter about their favorite and least favorite tracks, replacing disliked songs with personal picks like those from Melissa Etheridge and Tom Petty. This nostalgic episode is filled with pop culture references, making for a fun reflection on mid-'90s music. Topics: 03:10 1994 Time Machine: Setting the Stage 09:59 Aaliyah's Debut and R. Kelly Controversy 19:47 Toni Braxton's Early Hits 26:45 Prince's 'The Most Beautiful Girl in the World' 33:55 Big Mountain's 'Baby, I Love Your Way' 37:48 1994 Movie Soundtrack Trivia 45:07 Ace of Base: A 90s Pop Phenomenon 46:52 Exploring Different Versions of 'Don't Turn Around' 50:31 Ace of Base's 'The Sign': A Massive Hit 55:26 Warren G and Nate Dogg's 'Regulate' 59:55 Janet Jackson's Mature Themes in 'Anytime, Anyplace' 01:05:02 Madonna's 'I'll Remember' and Movie Soundtracks 01:12:35 All-4-One's 'I Swear': A Wedding Anthem 01:21:06 Substitutions and Final Thoughts

Pass the milk! Milt and Dave count down the top breakfast cereals of all time.

Dave and Milt dissect the Billboard Top 10 albums, including 'iconic' works such as 'The Final Countdown' by Europe, 'Graceland' by Paul Simon, 'Tango in the Night' by Fleetwood Mac, 'Sign o' the Times' by Prince, 'Licensed to Ill' by the Beastie Boys, 'Slippery When Wet' by Bon Jovi, and 'The Joshua Tree' by U2. The discussion not only delves into the background and the stories behind these albums but also addresses broader themes like cultural appropriation, the effect of MTV, and the transition in sound for bands like Bon Jovi. Can you tell this summary was written by AI? So what. I'm trying to get this 2 hour+ podcast posted. Gimme a break. Anyway, by combining personal anecdotes, insights into the controversies of the time such as the apartheid-era South Africa visit by Paul Simon for 'Graceland', and listener interactions, the episode presents a nostalgic and insightful review of 1987 as a pivotal year in music history. Here are the topics covered. This is a goofy podcast, so the list summarized by AI in a formal list looks like borderline gibberish.
