PAST 10s: A Top 10 Time Machine - Music of the 70s, 80s and More

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

Milt & Dave jump back to 1992.

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. We hope you enjoy it. 00:00 Welcome to Past Tens: A Journey Through Billboard's Top Hits00:52 The Art of Killing Time: A Casual Chat02:35 Listener Interactions: Feedback and Fun Facts07:57 Diving into 1987: A Special Episode with a Twist17:00 The Final Countdown: Analyzing Whitesnake's Iconic Album36:50 Tawny Kitaen: More Than Just a Music Video Vixen41:44 Rock Legends and Hair Metal Nostalgia42:18 The Simpsons' Take on Hair Metal Bands42:45 Whitesnake and the Era of Classic Rock44:26 Bryan Adams' Musical Journey49:36 Prince's Iconic Album: Sign of the Times01:05:32 The Fusion of African and Pop Music by Paul Simon01:16:37 Poison's Glam Metal Impact01:23:23 Beastie Boys Break Records with License to Ill01:25:38 Controversial Lyrics and Album Titles01:27:12 Musical Innovation and Sampling Mastery01:28:31 Unreleased Tracks and Online Discoveries01:35:25 Transition to Bon Jovi's Breakthrough01:42:33 The Return of Richie Sambora to Bon Jovi01:45:11 Album Chart Countdown and Reflections02:02:37 Rating the Week: A Musical Time Capsule02:02:47 Milt's dog farts

Dave and Milt, adventurers bold and keen, Stepped into a time machine, a wondrous dream, Their destination set, the year was '82, With music as their guide, they found a place where seagulls flew. Heartlight by Neil Diamond, a song, they feared, would be a tragic and senseless assault on the ears. I Ran by A Flock Of Seagulls, it's musical insanity - and the dude's hair defied reason, taste, and yes, gravity. You Can Do Magic is America's song. But here's the thing: guess what, before long... the boys had to draw a line in the sand. It's only America's song 'cause that's the name of the band. Somebody's Baby by Jackson Browne is just so sweet, it's a song you might want to put on repeat. But you might want to try forget the flick... where a dude chooses a ball field to shag a young chick. Olivia Newton-John sang Heart Attack with grace, But the song - meh - it's just kinda taking up space. Cocker? I hardly know her. But Joe's voice enthralls... with a movie theme recalling Gere kicked in the balls. I Keep Forgettin', crooned Michael McDonald. His cool raspy voice into all ears he would tunnel. ... [Sorry but you try rhyming 'Mcdonald.'] Eye In The Sky, The Alan Parsons Project's dream, is as dynamic as cold toast, as thin as Kareem. Jack & Diane, in John Cougar's nostalgic fog, still holds up well. Pass the chili dog. Who Can It Be Now? Asked the Men At Work. A cool Aussie rock band. You were expecting Bjork?

In the charts of '71, artists in their prime, Let's journey back and recall that time. Rod Stewart and the Band so grand, John Denver with Fat City's hand. Rare Earth brought us celebration, The Bee Gees with heartfelt sensation. Paul and Linda McCartney, a dynamic pair, Bill Withers with a soulful flair. The Undisputed Truth with smiling faces, Aretha Franklin's divine embraces. At the summit, Donny Osmond (?) stood tall, With music that echoed through the hall. On the charts, the song had legs. Even if the tune truly sucked eggs.
