Where Have All the Cowboys Gone? and Other Poignant Ballads

One of the radio stations by me plays a "Nineties at Noon" hour showcasing both the musical hits and, let's be honest, many misses of the nineties generation.

Naturally, I'm a fan because they play all the original boybands.

But the boybands are like the collector pogs of that time.

Everyone remembers them and associates them with the '90s.

But what about the pour-your-heart-out ballads and poppy dance songs from all the lovely women of the decade?
What about the songs that make you wonder, "Where have all the cowboys gone?" and is that Bill or Ted in that music video? 

Here is a small ode to the often forgotten jewels of the '90s.

They can't all be from matching/harmonizing quartets after all.

So, here is the other side.

Lisa Stansfield- "All Around the World"

Gloria Estefan- "Turn the Beat Around"

Cathy Dennis- "Just Another Dream"

Paula Cole- "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone"

Cher- "Believe" ( I recently found her "Greatest Hits" cd and I don't want to make the sweeping statment that it has changed my life, but I won't say it hasn't either.)

Paula Abdul- "Rush, Rush"

(I wonder if Keanu Reeves even remembers he was in this?)

I hope that was as enjoyable for you as it was for me!
I can only hope Youtube remembers these searches so I can have some excellent recommendations in the future.
Who knows what little treasures will pop up.
And most conveinently, the Nineties at Noon are now on!
I'll take notes for a future playlist. I know you are looking forward to it already.

Love to you on all this lovely Monday!
