March 6, 1990: The National Gallery of Canada acquires Barnett Newman's Voice of Fire for $1.8 million causing a storm of controversy
All this week, I'm posting three songs a day that help define the year that was 1990, ending up with a final list of fifteen. I suppose a disclaimer should be put in place-- in 1990, I was only five, so I'm doing this based on retroactive research rather than any first-hand knowledge. So if you have any additions/revisions, feel free to give me a holler-- comment or use my contactify. Now, on to Part Two. (Part One is here)
Colin James- "Just Came Back" (from Sudden Stop)
Before the swing of 1993's Little Big Band and fresh off the success of his self-titled debut, James released Sudden Stop, a blues rock album that would spawn five singles, the most successful of which is this snarky send-off.
Maestro Fresh Wes- Let Your Backbone Slide (single)
"This is a throw-down, a show-down, hell no I can't slow down." The first Canadian rap single to go top 40, the number one selling Canadian rap single (as of 2008), and the sound of rap commercials on MuchMusic while I was growing up. A classic.
Voivod- "Nothingface" (from Nothingface)
