Editing Steve Taylor (section)

===1990s===

Taylor then took a break from music until 1990, when he returned as the lead singer of [[Chagall Guevara]].  Their first recording was "Tale o' the Twister", which appeared on the soundtrack to the 1990 film ''[[Pump Up the Volume (film)|Pump Up the Volume]]''. The band released an album, the self-titled ''[[Chagall Guevara (album)|Chagall Guevara]]'', in 1991 on [[MCA Records]]. A follow-up album was begun, but it was not finished until 2022 as part of a Kickstarter campaign. The band was released from its contract, following slow sales for their debut, and broke up.

Taylor returned with another solo album, ''[[Squint (Steve Taylor album)|Squint]]'', and a live CD, ''[[Liver (album)|Liver]]'', in the mid-1990s. ''Squint'' included the track "Smug", which uses the persona of [[Rush Limbaugh]] as an apparent-''example'' of smugness, and uses [[Barbra Streisand]] as an iconic master of ''apparent''-smugness.<ref>[http://sockheaven.net/discography/taylor/squint/03.html#about Smug: About the Song] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140903094329/http://sockheaven.net/discography/taylor/squint/03.html#about |date=September 3, 2014 }} at SockHeaven.org</ref> The album also included the song "Cash Cow", which takes a jab at yet another [[televangelist]], [[Robert Tilton]], as well as "Bannerman" which is a tribute to American Football fans that hold up "[[John 3:16]]" banners behind the goalposts.

A [[tribute album|tribute]] to Taylor entitled ''[[I Predict a Clone: A Steve Taylor Tribute]]'' was released in 1994 that featured performances by [[Sixpence None the Richer]], [[Fleming and John]], [[Starflyer 59]], [[Circle of Dust]], and others.

In the years following those releases, Taylor focused his efforts on running [[Squint Entertainment]] and producing projects for other artists, including Sixpence None the Richer's self-titled 1997 release that featured the hit singles "[[Kiss Me (Sixpence None the Richer song)|Kiss Me]]" and a cover of [[The La's]] "There She Goes". He would be most noted for his work with [[Newsboys]], co-producing five of the band's albums while making contributions to the band's songwriting. During this time, Taylor also directed and produced the Newsboys' 1996 movie ''[[Down Under the Big Top]]'' in which the band stars.

Taylor began working as a full-time film maker, directing [[music videos]] for [[Fleming and John]], [[Rich Mullins]], Sixpence None the Richer, Newsboys, [[Guardian (band)|Guardian]], [[Twila Paris]], [[Dakoda Motor Co.]], [[Out of the Grey]], and two video albums for himself.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sockheaven.net/press/articles/crossroads_199510/|title=Steve Taylor's Musical Matinee|access-date=December 1, 2014}}</ref>
