Unwell
"I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell," are the famous lyrics written by Rob Thomas of my favorite band, Matchbox Twenty. I think every human being on the face of the freaking planet can relate to that sentence. Thomas goes on to say, "...just stay a while and maybe then you'll see a different side of me." That final line that everybody wants to tell the person they fall in love with.

Elton John went into the studio to record his 1995 album still riding high on the success of The Lion King, including his very own Academy Award.

'The Lion King'
In the early 1990s, Walt Disney Feature Animation was enjoying its second golden age, and through a series of circumstances it enlisted the services of one Elton John, who was seeking a second golden age of his own. True, his star had not completely dimmed and his most recent albums, Sleeping With the Past and The One, had showed strong promise of an artistic rebirth. But no doubt, the agreement to write a songtrack for Disney's planned animated feature, The Lion King would prove a pivotal part of the second act for the Rocket Man soon to be known as Sir Elton John.

'The One'
Following a stint in rehab to overcome his drug and alcohol addictions, Elton John decided to record a new album in 1992 at Studio Guillame Telll in Paris, France. He brought with him many of the usual suspects: a set of Taupin lyrics, Chris Thomas as producer, and veteran Elton John band members Davey Johnstone and Guy Babylon contributing electric guitar and backing vocals and keyboards and programming, respectively. There are also vocals from not only Nigel Olsson, but also Kiki Dee.

Keisha Buchanan
Keisha Buchanan is better known as a founding member and one-third of the Sugababes. Sugababes has always been one of my favourite bands since they first started with Keisha, Siobhan and Mutya. The three of them alone are some of my favourite female vocalists. Siobhan went on to release two wonderful solo albums and Mutya did some really great songs.

Back in the 90s, rock stations in Los Angeles played the typical iconic bands that ruled the airwaves.

The Top 10 Best One-Hit Wonders of the 1990s
I was born in the nineties, so this decade has a soft spot for me. However, I wasn't introduced to most of the iconic songs of the nineties until much later in life. During that time, my parents mostly played country and Christian radio. Country was at its peak in that decade, but so was hip-hop, grunge rock, and some folksy coffee house music. So, to celebrate the eclectic decade that I was born into, I am counting down the top ten best one hit wonders of the 1990s. Let's go!
