and SRW wants to hear "Tubthumping". And we've also got requests for Kenny Wayne Shepard nad Big Head Todd. HELP!!
-
PD was doing well until the second half of his requests. If she must play Elton John, "Something About the Way You Look Tonight" >>>>>> "Candle in the Wind 97." I really didn't need to be reminded that that remake of "Silver Springs" existed. Whoever this Aaron Williams person is looks capable of putting together a good 10@10, although "Jesus Freak" (as well as DC Talk's CHR-charting follow-up, "Just Between You & Me") is more 95/96. I requested a trifeca of had-beens, Duran Duran, OMD (by proxy of Gaz) and Erasure. And Barbie Girl in a separate post because nobody is going to plus one any post with Barbie Girl.
Edit: I hope they don't play SmashCakeBosstonesSugarMarcyBlinkSublimeFighterBlurFooMouthRayMightyMightyPlayground

hee. We've gotten the Bosstones so often in '97 it's crazy -- and they come up so regularly in KFOG rotation it's ridiculous.

But if she doesn't play the Bosstones, we'd all freak out and yell, "Where'd you go?!?!?"

That's the impression that I get.

I'll give the Bosstones an advance F/F just on general principle.

OK we just got Tom Waits on the stream @ 10:04...
-
dang stream.. so delayed.. then again, the TOTHK is Semi-Charmed Life. All together now: "I want something else!"

No?
Well..."

SRW tells us we were missing Third Eye Blind. No biggie. LN1 and WOS1.
-
It's just starting now for me.
-
This Wilco is NTM, therefore BOS1.

song 3 is "Song 2" -- woo hoo! Bit of a frequent flier, but VHM anyway.
-

Ok, I guess we need to have a Was (Not Was)/Neneh Cherry tour to get some of your requests in.
Blur: A-/F
-
song 4 not familiar and it's not showing on the KFOG thingy. But Loreena McKennit is coming up, apparently.

BOS this PBS-pledge-drive-special-worthy Irish Jig... Lorena McKennit or whoever it is. I thought it was Kate Bush at first.

I like that song. And BOS for "Karma Police". If she played "Subterranean Homesick Alien" instead, it would be really amazing.

is that what this Radiohead song is called? not a bad request then...
I think that was a clip from that Jack Nicholson movie, w Helen Hunt and Greg Kinnear. I recall liking it.
this next song is positively Goo Goo Doll-ish. at least his strained "I'm a cowboy" voice is....

it's Edwin McCain, apparently. NTM and snoozeworthy to the max.

Portishead isn't doing it for me. It generally sounds to me like she's singing in a different key than the band is playing...

Edwin McCain: Too snoozy for John McCain
Seriously, the fact that he had three top 40 hits puts the late 90's to shame.

I was late to the Radiohead party, and generally whenever I hear them I like them. This might be an obvious (or bad) choice to a more knowledgeable fan, but to me it was like a breath of fresh air, esp w that Edwin McCain song molesting my ears.
So what RH song would you have preferred? I'm curious b/c you seem to have both a breadth of knowledge about them and other stuff during this time (whereas I have large gaps in my 90s appreciation) as well as good taste in general.

Can I take the easy way out and say 'none'? :o J/k. Actually I've just never been able to get into them, though I've tried many times. (agreed that it wasn't worse than the Edwin McCain song, though.) Some of their newer stuff I don't mind, perhaps because it's less screechy (i.e. Jigsaw Falling into Place, Lotus Flower), but from that era I think the most tolerable one to my ears is "Fake Plastic Trees."

heh, 'none' works. :)
I like that sentence "I've tried many times."
I'm envisioning you setting up a serious music listening session, possibly with a mentor who does like the band carefully playing select songs to ease you into the RH mode. And at some point you shake your head and say 'Nope, it's just not taking.. I'm really sorry."
And the RH mentor is crestfallen, but resigned, b/c fate cannot be changed.
we've all been there.

I often think of Radiohead in the same vein as Arcade Fire… critical favorites without a lot of obvious hit singles, for whom I’ve made gradual steps in appreciating.
-
And let me pile on some more about “I’ll Be”… you combine the sound of a Darius Rucker-wannabe suffering from constipation with downright insipid lyrics and the fact that the song just would not freaking die on the charts, and you have my nominee for worst hit of the 1990’s. I might even go as far as saying this is my least 10@10 entry ever.

I think OK Computer is the best rock album made since the Golden Age of Rock. I would put every song except for Electioneering and Fitter, Happier (which is an interesting experiment) above Karma Police, by far the most-played song from the album. All other songs are phenomenal.

Arcade Fire's Funeral is probably in the top ten albums since the Golden Age (if I'm being too rock snob with those two bands, remember my moniker is taken from a Poison song and I voted Swingtown BOS last week).

There is a crazy cast of characters covering Wonderwall on the related videos link (I'm going to stop quoting myself now).

What made things even worse is that it looked like it was about to sputter out around the mid-20s, but instead, it hangs around in the 20s for a few more months. And then it suddenly jumps up into the Top Ten.
@ 45 weeks, it's the third longest charting song ever on the CHR/Pop chart. A no-name such as Edwin McCain with a song that should have died, but didn't, does not deserve that.
Annalisa KFOG still has yet to play the #1 longest charting song of all time, a song that lasted an entire year, a song that I request every single time we hit 1994/95 to no avail.

3. Blur - Song 2

4. Semisonic - F.N.T. (Fascinating New Thing)
(News: Mass suicide - The Heaven's Gate cult members)
5. Loreena McKennitt - The Mummers' Dance

D: n/a
F: Squirrel Nut Zippers, Radiohead, Edwin McCain
^^^hmm...interesting spread.
Necessary:
A: n/a :'(
B: Wilco, Loreena McKennitt (they're B's because it's one grade off for one appearance each. Though if there weren't so many F-for-necessary's this time then I might have been nice enough to give these A's)
C: Semisonic (quickly becoming an AL 10@10 fave. But we can still be forever thankful it's not "Closing Time"), Portishead (see previous, except unlike the previous one, this song is not better than the single)
D: n/a
F: Radiohead, SNZ, Sneaker Pimps, Edwin McCain (an uWB if I ever heard one; next time it gets the minus), Blur (F-), 3EB (F-)
^^^less interesting (& more annoying ) spread
