BOS U2, I can't think of too many things that might arrive to blow me away in this year.

well, maybe Billy Ray Cyrus or Shanice, but I'll be floored if Dave plays either

Here's one that's worthy of a BOS if not a blow-away candidate: Chili Peppahs, Give At Away.

I remember going into an audio store on Van Ness about 15 years ago with a friend who was looking to buy some speakers, and he brought this album to demo them with. We had this song cranked in one of the listening rooms when a salesman came in to complain that there were kids in the store and could we pick something else to listen to. We took our business elsewhere.

Dig the little trill Anthony adds to the line "give it away now!"

My least-necessary vote.  At least the RSF guys had a good sense of humor about the flukiness of their hit.  Maybe Dave should be prodded to play the follow-up, "Don't Talk Just Kiss."

No. There's "unnecessary" (because it gets plenty of KFOG play) and then there's "abominable" (RSF).

You'd recognize it--its main theme has been borrowed liberally by a number of artists, including Sting, just to name one. From Wikipedia:

Quote
This song, along with "Purple Haze," was frequently covered live by Jaco Pastorius. Part of the guitar chorus melody has been quoted on other records, amongst them The Amboy Dukes ("Baby, Please Don't Go"), Cozy Powell ("Dance With The Devil"), Weather Report ("Slang"), The Allman Brothers ("Mountain Jam"), DEVO (a cover of Hendrix's "Are You Experienced"), and Right Said Fred ("I'm Too Sexy").

Frequent flyer though it is, I still love the melody of "Constant Craving."  (As did the Stones, as we all know ...)

"Nothing Else Matters," from the same album as "Unforgiven" and "Enter Sandman," but sans SF Symphony.  Heard way too much of those singles during college.

BOS to INXS, "Not Enough Time," pretty little thing.

in 1989 when I was a chaffeur, I had each of them as all-day customers.  The first time I heard about global warming was directly from Al Gore's mouth while standing outside my car chatting.  Jerry was funny, picked him up at the airport but had to drive past him to find a parking spot, so when I walked back to meet him he told me that he was worried that I hadn't recognized him.  Took him to a bar mitzvah, among other things.
