This week we hop back to 1993, a year where R&B and hip hop absolutely dominated the airwaves. From Whitney Houston’s blockbuster ballads to Silk, Shai, Jade, and Jodeci, the charts were stacked with soulful voices and smooth jams.
🎵 The 1993 Hit List Challenge
Adam rattles off the Billboard Top 15 of 1993, and we put names to songs at lightning speed. Whitney, Janet, Tag Team, Snow, H-Town, and more — some came instantly, others slipped through the cracks.
🎶 Rapid-Fire Name That Tune
Half a snare, a guitar strum, or even a synth swell — can you recognize songs from just a second of sound? Goo Goo Dolls, No Doubt, Sophie B. Hawkins, Lisa Loeb, and Alanis Morissette all make surprise appearances in this round of sonic memory lane.
🥤 RC Cola, Again?
Adam relives the surreal discovery of a couple of RC Cola cans in his parents’ fridge during his dad’s 80th birthday celebration. Proof that sometimes nostalgia just pops out of nowhere.
📼 Singles & Cassettes
We reminisce about cassette singles, car rides soundtracked by R&B tapes, and the quirks of 90s production — from open-string guitar tunings to intentional imperfections that made grunge accessible.
All this and more on Episode 37 of How It’s Related — where the year is 1993, the vibe is R&B, and the game is always Name That Tune.
