Subject: 1992: The Year in Music

Written By: XYkid on 11/03/13 at 1:32 am

This is probably one of my favourite years of the 90s for music, and just in general.

To start off, I have the song Them Bones, from the group Alice in Chains. This came off of their biggest selling album Dirt, which helped propel them into the mainstream.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTuD8k3JvxQ

Another favourite of mine, Sophie B. Hawkins major hit Damn I wish I was your lover, one of the most beautiful and sexiest songs of the 90s, if not all time. It peaked at #5 on the Hot 100.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQQpbRN1FrE

Finally, from the hit girl group of the early 90s, we have one from En Vogue. A great song with a great message, Free Your Mind.

This reminds me of Radio X, the radio station from GTA: San Andreas. The story of the game takes place in 1992, and it gives a good snap shot of the rock music of the time.

In 1992, Welsh rock band Manic Street Preachers released their debut album Generation Terrorists and it produced 6 singles into the UK Top 40 charts.  If you don't know who this band is, that is because they never quite took off in North America.  Didn't stop me from listening, and I am still a fan.  Here are two of those hits from that album, plus one that was a single only release ...

The cover was issued as a single in 1993 and peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100, the group's highest ever position on that chart. The song also peaked at number three on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. Chapin's and Ugly Kid Joe's singles were both certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.

"Over the Rainbow" (often referred to as "Somewhere Over the Rainbow") is a classic Academy Award-winning ballad, with music by Harold Arlen and lyrics by E.Y. Harburg. It was written for the 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz.

Eva Cassidy recorded a version of the song for the 1992 Chuck Brown/Eva Cassidy album The Other Side. After Cassidy's death in 1996, the song was included in her posthumously-released compilation album Songbird, released in 1998 and was released as a CD single in 2001. This version was popularised by the BBC on BBC Radio 2 and on the television show Top of the Pops 2; the latter featured a video recording of Cassidy performing the song. This publicity helped push sales of the compilation album Songbird to #1 in the UK charts. Eva Cassidy's unique rendition of "Over the Rainbow" was selected by the BBC in the UK for their Songs of the Century album in the year 1999. Cassidy's performance of "Over the Rainbow" at Blues Alley was published for the first time in January 2011 on her Simply Eva album.

"Too Much Love Will Kill You" is a song written by British guitarist Brian May of Queen, Frank Musker, and Elizabeth Lamers. The song reflected the breakdown of May's first marriage and attraction to his future wife, Anita Dobson. It was first recorded by Queen around 1988 or before, and was intended to be on the band's The Miracle album in 1989, but did not make the cut due to legal disputes following the band's decision that all songs on the album would be written by the group as oppose to individuals. After Freddie Mercury's death in 1991, May arranged a solo version, which he performed at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in 1992,  and subsequently included on his solo album Back to the Light that same year. Released as a single, it reached No. 5 on the UK Singles Chart. Because it was first played publicly at The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, a common misconception is that it was written as a tribute to Freddie Mercury, although it had actually been written several years before he died.

"Hazard" is a 1992 hit song written and performed by American singer/songwriter/producer Richard Marx. It peaked at number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached number 6 in the Cash Box charts. In addition, the song was Marx's third number 1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. Internationally, it topped charts in 13 countries throughout the world, hitting number 1 in Australia and number 3 in the United Kingdom. The song was to be made into a film, but some how, it got lost in production.

"Against the Wind" is Máire Brennan's first solo single, taken from her 1992 album Máire. Two covers were made available, one with a sand pattern and the title of the single, the other with a photograph by Tim Jarvis, of Máire and three dancers, superimposed on the sand pattern. A promotional video directed by the Douglas Brothers was made to accompany the single.
Moya is the eldest of nine children. She has four sisters, Deirdre, Eithne (better known as Enya), Olive and Brídín, and four brothers, Ciarán, Pól, Leon and Bartley. She sang along with her siblings in the family pub, Leo's Tavern in the village of Meenaleck, a short distance from the family home.

I use to listen to this song on the radio in 1992 when I was 12. My sister was 8. Anyway, we would listen to "Wishing on a star", wear slippery socks and pretend we were ice skating on the kitchen floor lol.

One of those light feeling gems of the early 90s. That song played a lot when I was in driver’s Ed.

I use to try and sing like her back then. There are two versions of this song. The music video version, and this one. This is the one I remember listening to on the radio when I was 12.

Loved this album back in the day. And yes the album version is way better than the single mix.

This was his 19th chart hit in Canada and I honestly think it is my favourite of all his solo work.  I still hear this on the radio from time to time.  True classics never die!

Not sure if this is considered a late 1991 song or early 1992, but I remember it being popular right around the cusp of those two years:

One of my favorite songs of that summer. I associate with the memory of visiting my family in the mountains of Japan, and hearing it playing on the boombox radio outside on the radio station broadcasted by the US Armed Forces.

I remember this song well, for at the time this song was in the charts I was working on the nightshift, and one day during the daylight hours a neighbour of mine was playing this record continually out loud! So you imagine how I feel about this song.
