Stereo MCs - Get Yourself Connected.

Gives me a headache every time I hear it.

Cynical poseur-rave.

  - It's weird as I'd rarely get bored listening to even the obvious dance anthems of '92
    
    i.e. Ebenezer Goode, Rhythm is a Dancer
    
    But it just strikes me as too "try-hard." I'm not sure why. I think there was some terrible mobile phone ad loosely based on that as well which always puts me off liking a group.

    I will defend this song to the hilt.
    
    It's raw but well-produced, it's slow-burning, it's great. Perhaps you bedwetters are just scared of strong female vocals with proper emotions. Or it's because of Linda Perry's connections with Pink..
    
    Obviously He-Man would later make it even better with his hi-NRG take on proceedings.

  Tom Ewing's just coming up to that on his brilliant Popular blog. (Last number 1 was Status Quo - Come on You Reds!) It'll be a particularly interesting retrospective, I'd just started taping the charts in 1994 and that nearly killed my interest in music - and life - stone dead. I blame it for making me quit the Scouts, but more - much more on that later.

      But the problem I have with it is that it disguises everyone's perception of Van Morrison. Makes everyone assume that he's a one-hit wonder good pub singer, rather than the utter genius who made things like Astral Weeks, Moondance, Tupelo Honey and Veedon Fleece.
      
      I quite enjoy giving hard-nosed Van Morrison sceptics a copy of 'It's Too Late to Stop Now' and asking them about it afterwards. All but one has come tound to loving him...

        I could have chosen any of TLC's singles. Waterfall is just as bad. Boring, bland and banal music. New Jack Swing, R&B or whatever genre it gets categorised in, just leaves me cold.

but it should probably count as the worst song of the 90s just because it's that bad.
