The early ’90s gave us some of the most iconic music of the decade, but 1993 and 1994 also produced a surprising collection of misfires that have aged like milk in the sun. From overproduced follow-up singles that couldn’t capture the magic of their predecessors to novelty tracks that made listeners question their life choices, these years proved that even in the golden age of grunge, hip-hop, and R&B, the charts had plenty of room for the ridiculous. Whether it was a syrupy ballad aimed at reclaiming past glory, a children’s song inexplicably turned into a global hit, or a cartoon theme song dragged into the pop charts, the bad was every bit as memorable as the good — just for all the wrong reasons

In this episode, Rob and Dave share their picks for the best of the worst songs from 1993 and 1994 — the tunes that topped “most annoying” lists, baffled critics, and left fans scratching their heads. These are the tracks that tried to ride trends and wound up derailing entirely, the guilty pleasures you wouldn’t admit to liking, and the curiosities that live on as cautionary tales in pop culture history. If you’ve ever wondered how something can be both a chart success and an absolute mess, these two years have all the proof you need — and Rob and Dave are here to break it all down with equal parts nostalgia and playful mockery

This week on Totally 80’s and 90’s Recall, Rob and Dave are going way back—to the years they were born! Dave is diving into the Billboard Hot 100 of 1976, and Rob’s taking on 1977, but with a twist: each of them has handpicked their favorite 10 songs from those charts—not necessarily the biggest hits, but the ones that stuck with them as they grew up through the late ’70s and into the heart of the ’80s. It’s personal, nostalgic, and full of deep cuts and timeless classics.

But the music didn’t exist in a vacuum—pop culture was fueling the fire. Think Rocky and Saturday Night Fever changing the game, CB radios and bell bottoms in full swing, the rise of FM radio and variety shows like Donny & Marie or The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour keeping families glued to the tube. Disco balls lit the dance floors, punk was brewing in the underground, and AM radio was a blend of soul, rock, funk, and soft pop magic.

Expect plenty of storytelling, musical surprises, and the kind of passionate debate only two pop culture buffs can bring. From disco grooves and soft rock jams to early signs of the sounds that would dominate

the ’80s, these songs weren’t just hits—they were part of the soundtrack to Rob and Dave’s childhoods.

Great Scott! Back to the Future is the heartwarming tale of a teenage slacker, a wild-haired scientist, and a DeLorean with more horsepower than common sense. When Marty McFly accidentally zaps himself from 1985 to 1955, he must dodge his horny teenage mom, fix his parents’ love life, and somehow get back to the future—all while Doc Brown turns Hill Valley High into a test site for time-traveling pyrotechnics. It’s got skateboards, flux capacitors, Libyan terrorists, and more "Whoa, wait a minute, Doc" moments than Einstein can handle

This week on Totally 80’s and 90’s Recall, Dave, Rob, and Kurt fire up the podcast and hit 88 miles per hour to break down the cinematic magic of Back to the Future. From Biff’s punchable face to Chuck Berry’s accidental inspiration, we’re talking all the iconic lines, legendary scenes, and scientific inaccuracies that made this time-traveling adventure a pop culture lightning bolt. So buckle up—because where we're going, we don’t need roads… just great Wi-Fi
