No question. Friedman’s technical proficiency on Hangar, in particular, is off the charts.

I never had much luck getting people who didn't already love metal, into Slayer at all. So I don't often go there.
Not sure what to do with this. Was gonna laugh at your Einar Orn joke but then your reference to the Gators is making the tears well up.Not sure where the Sugarcubes' guy singer's celebrated solo career is, voice of an angel, life just isn't fair
One thing I do know is scorchy is unhappy right now which makes me unhappy too

One of the best traits of subscribing to Tidal Master is getting to hear songs that are well produced, well mixed and of course, well sung.I proudly own my opinion that Freedom '90 was the best song of the year
Faster Pussycat kill kill kills You're So Vain, in the convo for best hair metal cover
The one song I know called Motorcycle Mama is one of Neil Young’s worst songs. I was wondering why the Sugarcubes would have covered it. Good to know that they didn’t.My other mention is Rubaiyat, Elektra's 40th anniversary double album of covers. Which are turning into a theme around here lately. This one was highly uneven, out of print and never has streamed, but it doesn't deserve to be forgotten either.
Metallica's one submission for the year - Stone Cold Crazy

Sugarcubes turned in a good one with Motorcycle Mama
It might just mean I was 18, but I liked Gipsy Kings' take on Hotel California
Ernie Isley - Let's Go is .. not nothing?
Howard Jones - Road to Cairo this is nice
The Cure kicked it all off with a solid take of Hello I Love You and then wrapped it all up with a slight return

When that came out, I was getting out of Faster Pussycat (they were one of my favorite bands in tenth grade along with the Dead Kennedys, of all combos) but your link reminded me how ripping that song was. What a rocker!

Really?
Yesterday morning, I started listening to my 1991 playlist on random - not ready to commit to doing it next but am starting the process. The song you linked came up, so of course reading your post threw me into a minor panic. I remembered one of my friends from sophomore year being really into them but double-checked wiki just to be sure: album released January 8, 1991(with no advance single). Phew...Unless I missed it my favorite song from 1990 did not make the list:
I had totally forgotten this song but somehow ran across a mention as I was doing my final due diligence. In the end, I decided not to cut something else for it, but there's certainly a strong case for inclusion.Still Got the Blues - Gary Moore

Weird. January 1990 is definitely off but both Discogs and Allmusic show several releases on Dec 29, 1990 (UK, Promo Edition, Club Edition, etc.) while the majority (including US CD and US Vinyl) are January 8, 1991, Regardless, it won't be #1 in my 1991 list but won't be forgotten either.Spotify shows it as January 1990.
Yeah I wasn’t questioning it, just letting you know why I thought it was 1990.TR, I enjoy the pedantry of some of the music threads so not trying to be argumentative. I'm just a rule follower.
Great tune! Saw them at Toads Place and they were fun as hell.Unless I missed it my favorite song from 1990 did not make the list:
Definitely a thing. Pretty sure I had Sadeness (Part I) on cassingle. Had their next album on CD along with Pure Moods and both were attempted to be used as pillow jam soundtracks.You're an enigma, it's why we love you. Speaking of Enigma..

Still Got the Blues - Gary Moore
Moore will get some of his just due with Thin Lizzy in MAD round 2.
Spotify’s dates are often inaccurate. Lots of albums are listed as “January” because they didn’t feel like figuring out the exact month. Sometimes they get the year wrong too. Discogs is the much better source. I even trust Wikipedia more because those entries have been written by superfans.Spotify shows it as January 1990.Yesterday morning, I started listening to my 1991 playlist on random - not ready to commit to doing it next but am starting the process.

The end to Chip Away is so cool.In my opinion, "Three Days" was the best song of 1990. Our generation's dysfunctional Led Zeppelin (I'm copping that from wikkidpissah of board fame), they were on to something with that song but never could follow through. Bands have a certain kind of inertia and youth is important in rock and roll (it's not an old man's game), so getting back together never had the effect that stalwart fans hoped it would.
This was the best we would ever get from Jane's, and it's one of the -- if not the -- best alt/mainstream guitar songs of the decade. A sprawling, self-indulgent attempt at some sort of religious and sexual liberation, Dave Navarro's guitar work while the rest of the band is totally in the pocket make the song extraordinary.
I've seen Jane's hit that camaraderie pocket before. When I saw them in Springfield, MA in 1990/91, they pulled out four beer coolers with microphones on them, and proceeded to have a drum circle to "Chip Away" (one of the songs off of the XXX album), which blew my young mind.
It’s sad when Freedom is considered the best song of the year. Does anyone listen to that song on purpose?Late to the party and not that upset. This list is why I probably why I wore out a Queensryche CD. Amazing that in just a year we move from Sinead, Michael, and Cure to Metallic, GnR, Nirvana.
Oh yeah, I loved that song.Unless I missed it my favorite song from 1990 did not make the list:
I love these threads. Much respect to the posters that make them happen.thanks @scorchy great thread
