Since the rain has finally gone away after two days, I can get on my computer and submit the next set of my favorite tunes from the 1990s. Let's get on with this before the rain decides to return.
#59. Love Is All Around, Wet Wet Wet (1994)
This cover version of the 1967 hit from the Troggs spent 15 weeks at #1 on the UK singles chart, but made it only to #41 on the US Hot 100.

#58. Cry for Help, Rick Astley (1991)
Rickrolled again! This was Rick's last US Top 10 hit. Yes, he was still on the American charts in the 1990s.

#57. Live and Learn, Joe Public (1992)
Listen closely to parts of this melody and you will recognize a familiar chord from a song that appeared earlier in this series, Steely Dan's "Peg".
