Having previously sampled the musical greatness of the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s, you might think that I should move on to the 1990s.
Well, if you insist. There is a surprising amount of excellence from which to choose.
Now, some might question my judgement in such matters. Not to my face, of course. Cowards.
True story: in order to be slotted into my former career as a military linguist, I had to have excellent hearing. In fact, my hearing was much better than normal*, and I was trained to listen very carefully. Even now, 20+ years later, after losing some of my hearing, I figure that when I actively and deliberately listen to things I can hear the details better than most people can.
So when I say this next song is full of Goodness and Rightness, it’s because I have listened to it in detail.

Don’t even think of gainsaying me. The result would be… unpleasant.
* I could hear dog whistles. Really.
Agreed. Damned good tune, that.
