The chart this week in 1994 was almost entirely very very poor

Yes, Edwyn founded post-punk band, Orange Juice [Rip It Up, 1983.] 'A Girl Like You' was a huge hit for Collins solo, in 1995. Julian Cope, a celebrated eccentric, founded The Teardrop Explodes [1978] 'Reward' is a rather good single imo. Managed at one time by KLF founder, Bill Drummond, Cope and Drummond hurled musical insults at each other, Drummond's a thinly veiled threat to 'kill' Cope and thus bring about the end of his band. |

officialcharts.com [Not so bad, I reckon. There is a fair amount of MOR-ish slop, but a decent number one, E17's best single, Kylie; and both Louis Armstrong and the Beastie Boys.] |

The discussion caused me to listen to 'Somewhere in my heart' which was a good little tune.

Agree Dvorak. I've seen worse. And that Sheryl Crow song has fond memories for me (first heard it in a bar in Paris on a good, good day).

Indeed  ^ Roddy Frame is a songwriter much lauded by Sir Derby of the Tup. 'Oblivious' was another attractive sone with a proper story. |

(I must admit, there was a time where pretty much every time I was in a record shop, I'd gaze upon the 12" sleeve of "Oblivious". i.ytimg.com Sometime later, I did buy it - but in the somewhat plain second sleeve, pictured left. Sigh.) |
