Morrissey's melancholic musing about unrequited love became the bright line between the acts who defined the alternative chart's early years and the U.S. takeover that defined the rest of the '90s
Ouch! We have a disagreement on this one Matt! "Ignore Me" has always been one of my favorite Morrissey songs. Perhaps I've felt that sense of unrequited love in the past or I just like the hook. Either way, I still enjoy it decades later.
McLachlan's "Possession" is a great song though! I had it at number 3 on my Top Ten of 1994. (Morrissey, by the way, didn't make my Ten that year but I still liked it!) I was also really into Counting Crows, Sheryl Crow, Tori Amos, and Seal that year. They all made my Top Ten.
I can respect why people would like that song. I imagine if I heard it at the time, instead of 30 years after the fact, I might have become attached to it enough to rate it higher!
"Possession" is really, really good. For folks like me who only know her from her maligned pop drivel from the end of the '90s, this is a breath of fresh air and feels almost unexpected. Kind of like I'd been lied to all my life about how good she really is, and am only now waking up to the truth.
