This Neil is NTM, but I will often say something from the 90's is NTM.  I guess I was listening to my dinosaur rock CDs back then.

Pretty crummy song.

BOS for Everclear though.  They were a bright spot in this timeframe.

Everclear --huge in '95, tho' I got pretty tired of it. KFOG ignored it at the time, but a Live 105 biggie.

BOS Annie.  Not usually a fan, but this is a great cover (as is her cover of Neil Young's Don't Let It Bring You Down .. but that song is just awesome no matter what.)

I prefer Dwight Yoakam's countrified "Train" cover, but agreed on her Neil remake. She also did a fab take on Joni's "Ladies of the Canyon" which was relegated to a B-side that year.

LOL @ Train in Vain after Connie Chung.  This coming a week after we get "introduced" to her in 1993.  Annalisa must have been keeping tabs.  :P

HM to Annie Lennox, though she does better on that album such as her cover of the Blue Nile's "The Downtown Lights."

BOS to Live.

Not that I'm a fan of that song either, but it would seem like he's so depressed over her that it's affecting his subconscious and he's doing things like sleepwalking.

former Examiner pop music Barry Walters once said Live should be a *huge* band, playing stadia regularly, etc.  I always liked their hits myself.  BOS to this.

No, but I did run into a english-speaking local who tried to get me to buy jewelry from their local factory, and which I later realized to be a quite elaborate scam.  I didn't get taken in, and it's a long story, but I will say that they were very smooth & they used a very subtle tag-team approach.

missed first 20 minutes of set.  Don't recognize any songs.

1995 was the year my father died, I left my guitar business, Jerry Garcia died, yet nothing here I remember.  I guess it wasn't played on KFOG.

as often happens in '90s sets, few of these were KFOG playlist-fodder, other than the Annie Lennox and Wilco.

I just read on wikipedia that he disrupted a Michael Jackson perf at the 96 BRIT Awards (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BRIT_Awards#Michael_Jackson_and_Jarvis_Cocker_.281996.29).  I remember hearing something about it, but didn't know it was jarvis cocker.  I'm not saying she's a fan of his antics, just his music.

Missed another set that I probably would have liked. The repair guys from Verizon showed up at 9:45 to fix some noise on our line, and pretty much killed our internet until the set was just about over--timing is everything.

I'd have BOS'd the Wilco, Weezer and probably the Pulp tunes. VHM for the Neil--that was off the Mirror Ball record he did with Pearl Jam as his backing band. Not a terribly great album. Dave played the Wilco tune twice previously, but once was in a 94 set, which was the incorrect year.

1.  Neil Young - Downtown
   2.  Everclear - Santa Monica
(News:  Connie & Dan break up on CBS News)
   3.  Annie Lennox - Train in Vain
   4.  PJ Harvey - Down By the Water
(X Files wins at the Golden Globes)
   5.  Live - Lightning Crashes
   6.  Finn Brothers - Only Talking Sense (BEST OF SET!!)
(Movie:  Stuart Smalley Saves His Family)
   7.  Weezer - Say it Ain't So
   8.  Wilco - Box Full of Letters
   9.  Pulp - Common People (BEST OF SET!!)
 10.  Chris Isaak - Goin' Nowhere

BONUS TRACK (Robert in Emeryville):  REM - Bang & Blame

Kudos on the Bonus, which Lisa Carr on Live 105 used to call "that song about Alex Bennett's sex life"

BTW, I'm gonna predict '70s tomorrow, that missing '88 set on Thurs and we already know about Woodstock Friday.

Long-after-the-fact BOS vote from me.  They had three outstanding albums -  Different Class, This Is Hardcore, and We Love Life.  The latter two are oft depressing, though.
