It is over.

That was a totally forgettable episode that I have already forgotten, with the only highlight being by Vanilla Ice.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

The Call of the Wendigo wrote:How is this a megamix? It's just the same as it used to be.

They only played the last song of the Grease Megamix, and on the previous episode they only played the one song in the Black Box megamix! Talk about poor editing.

As may've been noted before, I don't really participate in these TotP commentaries.

I'm watching some of this 1991 episode right now and...

It is so f*****g s**t it's unreal.

It confirms to me in every conceivable way I already knew that the '90s sucked so hard it was scarcely conceivable.

Robert Palmer doing his utterly shabby, Satan's lemonade-poor mash-up version of Marvin Gaye's Ecology Song/I Want You is playing this instant.

Someone should've run on stage and kicked his face off for daring to trying it on.

I. Ron Maiden at No.1 almost saves the day.

Not that I ever really liked IM, just that it represents some semblance of artistic integrity to the smear of dreck that preceded it.

Iron Maiden are at the very least an authentic genre band, rather than say... MC Hammer.

"Pray" has to be one of the worst songs of all time.

Plays out with Stink trying to sound like Bruce Springsteen. vom

Now to catch up with the episode from January 3rd, 1991.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun May 23, 2021 8:04 pm

1991? Isn't that when music got good again? Excited

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun May 23, 2021 8:04 pm

No falling records.
