My wife is 30 weeks pregnant with our daughter as of today. So here are 30 songs with the number "30" (or "Thirty") in their titles or somewhere in their lyrics. These are getting harder and harder to complete! Fortunately, the time is growing short and I won't "have to" anymore. Enjoy!  ~  JH

Popular Songs Of 1994, Vol. 2

Yesterday's intro should suffice for this entry (Vol. 2 of 3) in this miniseries. In case you missed that one, here it is...

Okay, so maybe my recent "1984" collection of popular songs 

represented the music of my generation (I was born in '78). 

But this set of songs represents the music of my teenage years 

– the first time in my life that I actually chose what I wanted 

to listen to, and could (occasionally) afford to buy it for 

myself. I didn't own copies of all the songs gathered in 

this miniseries of posts – but I did listen to them all, mostly 

on MTV (back when they actually played music videos!) 

and on the radio. If you're close to my age, you probably 

remember many of these well, and probably some 

of them quite fondly. Take a trip back with me 

to the music of 20 years ago. Here we go...  ~  JH

22)  Stone Temple Pilots  ~  "Interstate Love Song"

23)  Sonic Youth  ~  "Bull In The Heather"

24)  Spin Doctors  ~  "You Let Your Heart Go Too Fast"

25)  Hole  ~  "Violet"

26)  Arrested Development  ~  "Ease My Mind"
