Today a rare case when panam leaves behind his favored Latin American music. Don’t worry, though, as he hasn’t gone Anglo-Saxon. People who played this years Moderately Acclaimed Albums game may recognize it.

272. Orchestre Los Camaroes - Resurrection
Year: 1979
Album: Resurrection
Biggest Fan: panam (#616)

Orchestre Los Camaroes - Resurrection: 7
It's pretty great while listening to it. There is so much life in this music, even with the rather sparse production. But like the album it is hard to remember all that specifically, which is what keeps it from greatness.

Year: 1994

Ween - Candi: 6
I heard this song's album for the first time today. Like the other two Ween albums I know it is all over the place musically, but held together by an offbeat, sometimes creepy sense of humor. I also learned that at least on Rate Your Music, Candi is considered easily the worst song on the record. It is very disruptive yes, but it has a crazy appeal of its own. In contrast to the album as a whole I wouldn't put on Candi on its own very soon, but there is a place for it in this crazy world.

It’s always nice to get a very recent song on here. Today’s entry is from 2020 and was almost completely ignored by critics on their EOY lists. Luckily, DaveC took note.

274. Temples - Paraphernalia
Year: 2020
Released as a single
Biggest Fan: DaveC (#769)

To me, Candi doesn't have the weight to stand on its own, but in context it's one of the high points of the album.

This website and forum all are about acclaim, but the songs usually aren’t. Today is different as Rod Stewart announces the final acclaim! What does he mean by this? Not his last acclaimed song, as there would follow a few more. The song itself is, at #8877, his second lowest ranked song. Well, at least MusicMan acclaims it much more. It’s the second appearance by Rod Stewart by the way.

275. Rod Stewart – You’re In My Heart (The Final Acclaim)
Year: 1977
Album: Foot Loose & Fancy Free
Biggest Fan: MusicMan (#928)

272. Orchestra Los Camaroes - Resurrection: 8
Somehow, on Spotify, this song is listed as Los Camaroes - Los Resurrection. Don't know why that is and I thought this was another song at first. But Spotify seems to be wrong a bit too often about these kinds of things. Fun song though, thanks for the recommendation Panam!

Temples - Paraphernalia: 8
Temples had their five minutes of fame in 2014 with Sun Structures, but seem sort of forgotten already. I'm not sure if I ever heard anything from that album, but if anything is close to Paraphernalia I am missing out. This newer track has a nice psychedelic-dreamy feel and a wonderful melody. Nice discovery!

Rod Stewart – You’re In My Heart (The Final Acclaim): 6
The last time we had Stewart here he performed a sort-of Dylan cover. It's interesting that although this is no cover of Dylan in any sense, the lyrics in the first half seem very Dylanesque. It could have been a more directly romantic Like a Woman. But in the second half any poetry is abandoned and Stewart reveals his sappy side. This isn't schmaltz in the order of Forever Young, but it is not quite the song I was hoping it to be initially.

Today we’ve got a band who tried to hold back the river, but got wet wet wet…
Sorry.
Who isn’t sorry is Akhenaten, who proudly gave us another pop song.

Considering that I know this band only from a few songs that are so schmaltzy that even Rod Stewart would get sick from it, this isn't too bad. No schmalz , but a decent sing-along song.
One thing though, Wet Wet Wet has to be one of the very worst band names of all time.

One of those songs I just don't really have an opinion of. It's not bad, but doesn't particularly captivate me much. Certainly not as immediately memorable as their one big song, Sweet Disposition.
