The Bangles, one of the most successful girl bands of the 80s, reunited in the early 2000s. This was their comeback single that featured the acoustic version of "Eternal Flame" as well.

The Tuesdays was a Norwegian rock group formed in 1990. They were similar in sound to The Bangles, but had a slightly more mature feel—but still catchy pop tunes. They formed in 1990 as No Limits in Larvik, Norway. They released an album in 1994 in Norway and Japan, called, When You're A Tuesday Girl under the name The Tuesday Girls. After reconfiguring to include the singer Laila Samuelsen and drummer Linda Gustafsson, they changed their name to The Tuesdays and signed with Arista in 1997. Their self-titled album had some commercial success, especially the single, "It's Up To You". Their follow-up album was rejected by Arista, and the group split up. Former lead singer Laila Samuelsen released a solo album in 2002, and is still involved in writing music.

Worlds Apart was one of the numerous boy bands emerged in the 1990s. They first topped the charts with some cover songs such as "Could It Be I'm Falling In Love", or "Everlasting Love". Later they also had success in other European countries, but the height of their career was the mid 90s.

Gin Blossoms are a great American group. This is the best representation of the band with well written, melodic songs with a little bit of grunge and the whole album comes across well. The hits include "Follow You Down" and the excellent "till I hear it from you".

This brilliant new wave classic by Ultravox was performed in studio by frontman Midge Ure. This acoustic version really expresses the depths this song holds in itself.

"We Are the World" is a 1985 song and charity single recorded by the supergroup USA for Africa. It was written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, and co-produced by Quincy Jones and Michael Omartian for the album We Are the World. Following Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas?" project in the UK, an idea for the creation of an American benefit single for African famine relief came from activist Harry Belafonte, who, along with fundraiser Ken Kragen, was instrumental in bringing the vision to reality. Several musicians were contacted by the pair, before Jackson and Richie were assigned the task of writing the song. Following several months of working together, the duo completed the writing of "We Are the World" one night before the song's first recording session, in early 1985. The last recording session for the song was held on January 28, 1985. The historic event brought together some of the most famous artists in the music industry at the time.

'LP' is the third album from The Rembrandts' and is undoubtedly their best known work, thanks to it's release at the height of Friends Mania in 1995. The album seems unfairly shunned by the casual lister as a collection of lacklustre companions to the pop hit 'I'll Be There For You' (the theme song from Friends) or scorned by Rembrandts fans for its association with the television show. In reality, however, it's simply a well written and beautifully performed guitar album with the TV single tacked on the end. Make no mistake; the end of 'LP' is the gorgeous 'The Other Side of Night'. The addition of 'I'll Be There For You' is simply there to pull the Friends crowd.

If you're looking for something a little subdued and introspective that swings between 'rockin good' and 'melancholic' effortlessly, then LP might be for you. The slower songs are the highlights, particularly 'End of the Beginning', 'Don't Hide Your Love', 'Drowning In Your Tears' and 'The Other Side of Night' but there's something for everyone with the faster, sometimes grungier tracks like 'This House is Not a Home', 'Lovin Me Insane' and the fantastic 'Easy to Forget'.

Ultimately the strength of LP is The 'Brandts ability to craft magnificent lyrics and weave them with great guitar and smooth harmonies. Compared to their other albums, LP has its roots more in commercial rock than traditional acoustic which may explain why a lot of the band's fans disliked it. It's still my personal favourite from the boys, the flow of the tracks is brilliant and overall the album has aged very well. LP is definitely one of my favourite albums and very worthy of anyone's time.

This is probably the most comprehensive release of Cher's biggest hits. The hits range from the early Sonny & Cher songs to the tracks of the recent "Believe" album back in 1998.

Japanese exclusive 2003 compilation for the soft rock star features 12 of his best-loved ballads including 'Right Here Waiting', 'Endless Summer Nights', & 'Now & Forever' (Live Version). Originally released in 1994.

This rare collection offers the most beautiful Mariah Carey ballads that were recorded in the 90s. The tracks mainly come from the first two Mariah albums and include songs such as "Anytime You Need A Friend", "Without You" or "Hero". This compilation also includes the two famous duets of Mariah: "One Sweet Day" (done with Boyz II men) and "Endless Love" (sung with Luther Vandross).

Clouseau, a Belgian band, started as a bunch of friends back in 1984. Only Karel Theys, the bass-player, had some previous experience in a band with The Employees. 1987 sees them coming out of the garage for the first time : they play Marktrock in Leuven en get a record deal for their first single "Brandweer". In 1991, the Benelux is getting too small for the group so they (or at least the record company) decide to try to storm the European market.
This time they are appointed to participating for Belgium in the Eurovisionsongcontest (where the finish very low with "Geef het op", despite the very high hopes Flanders was posing in them). They record a CD in English called "Close Encounters" (mainly consisting of adaptations of their own Dutch songs) of which they sell 200.000 copies.

This beautiful rendition of John Lennon's classic served as a memorial to the victims of 9/11. Chris Cornell performed it live on American televison. He took John's spirit and conveyed it in his voice.

This is Glenn's second album, released in 1988 when he was only 18 (actually, this one in particular is a Japanese import). It was his breakthrough album in many parts of the world and has some really fine pop songs. Of course, there are some of his biggest hits there such as "Long and lasting love", "Love always finds a reason" (the version here is the English version sung with Elsa), "Never get enough of you", and a wonderful re-recorded (and more powerful) "Nothing's gonna change my love for you", but I always thought "Someday love" and "Not me" where the real classics on the album.
No, this is not Glenn's best album as of yet (if you want to know what the guy is REALLY all about, you should check out "It's alright to love" (1993) or his latest album, "Captured" (1999)), but it was a milestone in his career.
I can tell you that Glenn (now 31) has become a very talented singer/songwriter, and has one of the best male voices around. He can do what George Michael can (tho his work is not as known as George's): he's gifted both with his voice as well as with his mind (writing and composing), and if you want to hear an artist who puts his heart and soul into his music, you'll find the right answer in Glenn Medeiros.
My two favourite artists? Glenn Medeiros and George Michael. Da Glennster and Yog. At least THEY know how to make real music!
