30 Years Ago - 1996 "Weird AL" Yankovic released his ninth album Bad Hair Day. Again, this album musically and with the videos show what a talent and genius Weird Al is. The album featured originals that were in the style of They Might Be Giants , Elvis costello, Soul Asylum, and a grunge and polka song. Direct parodies of U2 and TLC, "Amish Paradise" is a parody of Coolio's "Gangsta's Paradise" and peaked at #53. Coolio was not pleased originally, but cooled (oh) later on.
35 Years Ago - 1991 Gloria Estefan released her second solo album Into the Light. This is the album that came out after her near-tragic bus accident. "Coming Out of the Dark" peaked at #1 Hot 100 and AC, #60 R&B, #4 Latin "Seal Our Fate" made #53 "Can't Forget You" made #42 and #2 AC "Live for Loving You" made #22 and #2 AC
