The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, or JAMs, were another moniker utilised by members of the KLF as far as I'm aware, who I've said before I struggle to get into.
This is no exception, it's mostly just industrial techno alongside towns in the north of England being named.
Clearly I missed the boat here massively.

The first big hit from Jersey rap group PM Dawn, off their decent debut album.
It's quite different from a lot of other hip-hop in this era, often termed as more psychedelic, but it's really good.
The Spandau Ballet sample lure you in and then you're hooked into a really good hip-hop track.

Paul Young is back for the first time in awhile with a song I convinced myself was certainly out in the 80's.
And I was right, because I forgot this was a Crowded House cover, which Young had some success with on the back of a greatest hits album in 1991.
I don't mind it, but do prefer the original now I remembered it existed.

Not sure how familiar everyone outside Ireland is, but she's got a massive reputation here anyway.
This was the first single of her third solo album after leaving her family band, Clannad, and it's brilliant, kind of part of that early 90's new age thing, but very much it's own beast at the same time.
And excellent bit of music that holds up all these years later.

Julian's second entry here, and it's nowhere near the level of his first unfortunately.
The debut single off his fourth album, I just find it very flat overall and can't get into it.
Sorry Julian.

Not as catchy as Paula Abdul's previous entries, bit more ballady, these being the debut single off her second of three albums.
Bonus points for the video however, with Keanu Reeves standing in for James Dean in a take on Rebel Without a Cause, that's something to work with.

Described as a midtempo pop ballad and I feel that's a good fit.
Having previously showed up in a D-Mob track on here, Cathy Dennis makes her solo debut, with the 4th single off her debut album.
A solid remnant of 80's pop here.

Just struggling here.

This used be on the radio all the time when I was younger and if you asked me then the best song of all time as an 8 year old, I'd have probably said this.
It's enjoyable soft rock/pop, but I wouldn't listen to it all that much these days, fond memories of it though.
Could definitely be construed as a one hit wonder, Cohn's first single off his debut album, he never hit these heights again.
Enjoyable though.
