Number Two Hits, 1992-1995

Mount up.

jesus christ

Seems like this will come down to "Regulate" vs. "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang". Worth noting that "Can't Let Go" might be my favorite Mariah Carey single.

LOL @ Queen

Adina Howard - Freak Like Me
Soul For Real ft. Heavy D - Candy Rain

how am I supposed to narrow down from here

well I mean obv I'm not picking Queen but still

Patty Smyth & Don Henley - Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough

oh man can you imagine Henley's irate glances at the songs above and below him?

En Vogue obvs

TLC - Red Light Special
The Notorious B.I.G. ft. Faith Evans - One More Chance/Stay With Me (Remix)
Shanice - I Love Your Smile
Luther Vandross & Mariah Carey - Endless Love
Warren G. & Nate Dogg - Regulate
Janet Jackson - Any Time, Any Place
Monica - Don't Take It Personal
Madonna - I'll Remember
Ace of Base - All That She Wants

I'll be right back: I gotta shoot myself after forcing to choose one of these

wow, some amazing songs here. need to listen to some again but it's gonna be "regulate" by a mile i think, beating out "water runs dry", "one more chance", the TLCs, and "nothin but a g thang"

this basically can be summed up for me as "college parties ruled during this time period"

god I forgot how great "Don't Take It Personal" is.

The Queen #2 is from Wayne's World. "I Love Your Smile" is one of the happiest songs ever and it was held out by the dreadful "I'm Too Sexy". We've gotten back to the point where there's several here I don't know by name.

jesus we could poll whether "I Love Your Smile" or "My Lovin" uses woodwinds best.

TLC - Red Light Special
Janet Jackson - Any Time, Any Place
Madonna - I'll Remember
SWV - Right Here (Human Nature Remix)/Downtown
Shai - If I Ever Fall in Love
TLC - Baby-Baby-Baby
En Vogue - My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It)
Shanice - I Love Your Smile

Damn.

This is an embarrasment of riches and a Don Henley song. Threw in for Shanice since I feel like that song has been forgotten.

This is an embarrasment of riches and a Don Henley song.

well, yeah

Eh, I've got a soft spot for a couple of his songs. If "New York Minute" was in this list instead, I wouldn't have made the comment.

top 5:

1) right here/human nature
2) if i ever fall in love
3) regulate
4) freak like me
5) rump shaker

i love that swv song so much

oh and downtown is really good too

"If I Ever Fall In Love" has some great singing on a song that is really, really stupid; it's like a brain-damaged remake of "Next Time I Fall In Love"

"If I Ever Fall In Love" has some great singing on a song that is really, really stupid; it's like a brain-damaged remake of "Next Time I Fall In Love"

Wait, do you mean the horrendous Peter Cetera song?

DJP otm

Yes, I do

"Next Time I Fall In Love" = "I discovered that I love you, my friend, and I want you"
"If I Ever Fall In Love" = "I fucked that up, huh? Well I hope, now that I've learned something, I can find someone just like you, but not you (I guess I haven't really learned that much)"

SWV vs Shanice in undecidable face-off for me

Impossible to actually vote. Completely not possible.

so I'll just troll it up and go w Henley

May end up breaking toward Madonna, actually, given the stalemate among New Jill riches.

i think i know in my heart i have to vote Shanice

so i'm the only one who likes that B2M song huh

Water Runs Dry is all time. Love the drums.

it's a good song

I don't think I've ever heard "Water Runs Dry"

Remedy that right now then

I've come around on a lot of shit but I can't warm to Boyz II Men :(

you don't have to buy into the group, just that song (and on bended knee)

Just accept "End of the Road" and call it a day.

more like end of my rope.

That's unnatural.

why do i get the feeling alfred is posting entirely in euphemisms

These songs all hit #2? I've never heard of half of these

Like who the fuck is Xscape?

Depends how fast you're driving, k3vin.

Regulate

SWV

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Didn't expect that many votes for Tears in Heaven.

don't want to live in a world where tears in heaven gets that many votes while candy rain, water runs dry, and freak like me are shut out.

otm

oh shit, i didnt see this one.
prolly would've went with SWV or Adina Howard.

between this and the "Change The World" triumph on the Babyface poll, there's some kind of Clapton contingent lurking around ILM polls lately and i'm not sure if it's for serious or for comedy
