Oh yeah, back in the day, let me tell you, Live were an awesome band that played alternative rock very loud and distorted and with great results... too bad they are a joke nowadays... anyway, here, they were debuting at number 1 with this classic "Heropsychodreamer" a rocking song dealing with gay thematic, really great! Then, much lower, Gloria Estéfan enters with "Oye", second single from her album "Gloria!", this was a really catchy song with a spanish chorus (and a spanish version as well) that was really the highlight of the album for me. At 15, Bush debut with this song that was remixed by Tricky, the song "In A Lonely Place". It is a dark song, slow and long that could be, if not paying attention, heard as a boring song, cause well, the song does not evolve, it just kinda drags, but I like it. Then, here, Dave Matthews Band make their great first appearance in the chart with "Don't Drink The Water", the first song I had heard of them. With Alanis Morissette singing background vocals, this song is raw, powerful and still to this day, my favorite song by them. And the debut at 20 comes by Brandy & Monica.
