Great picks...especially the last one. 8)

I have quite a few myself...but they're too numerous to mention here.

Some that I'd most likely classify under AC:

"Too Many Walls" by Cathy Dennis 8) (1991)
"Fields of Gold" by Sting (1993)
"Insensitive" by Jann Arden (1996)
"Lucky One" by Amy Grant (1994) :)
"As I Lay Me Down" by Sophie B. Hawkins (1995)
"Torn" by Natalie Imbruglia (1998)

...the list goes on.

Yeah, I really love these too (although I consider them more to be late '80s holdovers). ;) VH1 and the radio used to play all of those at the time, among others. The AC and pop stuff from c. 1991 was sorta caught between both eras, which is probably why alot of them have disappeared now.

by Tal Bachman? Yeah, that's a good one. I'm tempted to think of him as a one hit wonder, since that was his only U.S. hit, but he probably had more in his native homeland.

I like Matchbox 20 as well. "I'll Be" by Edwin McCain is also good.
