Are you nuts? The years prior to 1993 were arguably the best in TWC's history. The music was great, especially in 1992, 1993, 1994, and 1995.

I agree. After that, most of the music went downhill.

Okay, why cant these people do they're job?!?! They are being paid (probably lots of money) to make the playlists on time!!a

Not too sure about the new music guy, but Steve's main job wasn't music; he did it in his spare time.

That song is Brighter Day, not A New Day. You're probably thinking of the Trammell Starks song A New Day

Probably. Thanks Gil. :p
