It was 1994. You were a teenager. You still listened to the radio. And Elvis Duran was doing afternoons on Z100!
Z100 means today’s best music. NOW GIVE ME MY MONEY!
For those keeping track at home, you’ll hear bits and pieces of:
The Power of Love - Celine Dion
Hey Jealousy - Gin Blossoms
Rock and Roll Dreams Come True - Meatloaf
Tomorrow - Morrissey
Two Princes - Spin Doctors
I’ll Remember - Madonna
The Sign - Ace of Base
Modern Love - David Bowie
Mr. Jones - Counting Crows
No Excuses - Alice in Chains
Streets of Philadelphia - Bruce Springsteen
Please Forgive Me - Bryan Adams
Cryin - Aerosmith
Daughter - Pearl Jam
Low - Cracker
Runaway Train - Soul Asylum
You Shook Me All Night Long - AC/DC
I Found Out About You - Gin Blossoms
Without You - Mariah Carey
Disarm - Smashing Pumpkins
Because the Night - 10,000 Maniacs
Whatta Man - Salt-n-Pepa
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm - Crash Test Dummies
With or Without You - U2
Plush - Stone Temple Pilots
Black - Pearl Jam
Here I Am - UB40
Hey Jealousy - Gin Blossoms
Burning Up - Madonna
Can’t Get Out of Bed - The Charlatans
The Sign - Ace of Base
No Apologies - Nirvana*
Amazing - Aerosmith
Cantaloop - Us3* This was less than a month before Kurt Cobain died. I hate to suggest it, but the fact that stations like Z100 were playing his music could very well have contributed to his death.
I am definitely a radio dork.
