WALKMAN CLASSICS


No song brings me back to 1988 quicker than this remix of Alexander O'Neal's Criticize. What comes to mind the most when I hear it:

The Morning Zoo on 106 KMEL-FM (i loved you so much, Ronelle Lewis)
27-Bryant
2858 23rd Street
838 Market Street

Alexander is the one singer from the era of the Minneapolis Sound that didn't break through into crossover success, which is too bad. His album Hearsay (the album Criticize is on) is an awesome helping of 80's R&B served up at its best.
