2019 WRAP-UP SO FAR PLUS SIX WEEKS

Hello June-Fest!!

We are here tonight to bring you a very hasty list presenting many of the hottest jams of the past 6 months. Other blogs will call it "the best of 2019 so far" while still neglecting the music released during the last 6 weeks of 2018. TMK cares not for firstness, even though we're first.

Here are the 50 best songs since the Mindforce album Excalibur was released on 11/16/18. We just really wanted to include "Excalibur" because it bangs so hard, and so there are other late November and December jams scattered throughout. (Hot Mix 2018 is happening soon also which will also include those same summer sizzle jams.)

New and Improved: TOP 99.9 OF 1999

Partially inspired by today being June 6th (666 Day) to turn those 6's upside down but mostly inspired by Rob Sheffield's Top 99 of 1999 and other bloggers, we said to ourselves "we want in on this."

For comparison, here's a "Top 89 of 1999" list that we played on the radio exactly 15 summers ago: https://tastemykidsblog.blogspot.com/2019/06/heres-our-original-top-89-songs-of-1999.html

And then 3 summers ago, we revisited the 9.9.99 VMAs for no particular reason: https://tastemykidsblog.blogspot.com/2016/08/oh-shit-we-watched-99-vmas.html
