ha! or Corrective Soles, as some wag called them. I'm seeing 1994 for this one.
-
Much happier with Stone Temple Pilots, but only an HM so far. And since we've got President Clinton, 92 is too early. 94 seems pretty good now.
-
STP are a big empty indeed.
-
BOS Lisa Loeb, "Stay". And this seals it: 1994.
-
Lisa's hearin' negatives; I'm hearin' nuthin' -- stream died.
-
BOS2 "Seether"
-
#4 Veruca Salt, Seether. A bit o' ear candy--BOS1, hoping for more. Who else was big in '94?
-
Lisa's hearin' negatives; I'm hearin' nuthin' -- stream died.
It's back with a BOS for Foo Fighters. The world needs less Foo.

STP get a VHM from me also, I think their stuff has held up well, and they deserved better formthe critics back in the day.

Blues Traveler and Black Crowes.
-
TANC: it's Hootie! He's got a hand for you. Guess AL heard/read me the other day.

Oops. when the stream died, my player switched to RadioParadise. Never mind. Missed Seether completely, which is too bad. Back for Hootie. Bleah.
-
From the Sound's '95 thread a couple days ago:
And ya really can't do '95 w/out Hootie, like it or not.
Let us hope and pray that Annalisa never reads this. :D
Apparently that applies to 94 as well, and apparently she did. :)

where did the Foo Fighters come in? I came from car to desk, but between the beginning of Lisa L. & the end of Veruca S. I didn't think there was room for me to have missed a whole tune.
I can VHM Hootie as well, just because this isn't one of the cuts that still gets lots of airplay.

as I said the other day, they were huge, so you kinda gotta play 'em. DMB too, I s'pose.
-
YAY! BOS3 James with the original "Laid", one of the very best singles of that year. Dye my eyes and call me pretty!
-
BOS for James, glad to be "Laid".

I don't think there was any Foo here--must have been STP? Foos were '95 anyway.
-
Ha! Harry & Louise, when they were tools of the GOP.
-
Veruca Salt was an artist bustout, and STP was a bustout (Dave only ever played "Plush"). And even the Hootie tune had only appeared once before.
-
BOS4 Blur!! AL lurves her some Blur, apparently.
-
So who's this cockney bloke singin' about feedin' pigeons and that lot?

Dave offered an expalantion even before I posted that.

Title track, one of the best albums of that half decade.

stick a wet toad in yer socket. or something.

agreed, but still shocked to see you up to BOS #4 in a 90's set that's far from over.
and I can add another for TtWS.

I love '90s sets that feature songs KFOG was ignoring at the time.
-
wow, VHM to a Nirvana bustout.

Okay,I'm up to four now. Yay for a Nirvana bustout.
-
BOS to Nirvana, and Leadbelly too, while we're at it.
-
wow, VHM to a Nirvana bustout.
I've never heard this before. Intense, but not exactly good.
-
OTOH, I've never liked the Cobain = Lennon trope. WAY overstated.
-
proxy of Gaz, Seal "Prayer For the Dying". Nice seg there, AL
-
VHM to Seal, who I saw open for the Stones in '94. (I thought Prayer for the Dying was out before '94 though.)

so I guess you wouldn't cop to the Lennon-of-his-generation comparison?
I had an interesting introduction to Nirvana. I was living in a pretty large apartment complex in Isla Vista (UCSB), and the managers had their own apartment, complete with nymphomaniac teenage daughter, whom they hired me to tutuor (she slept with my roommate). I also helped her get a PT job at the local K-Mart where I worked on weekends, and got to know a couple of her HS friends that way. One of whom was smokin' hot & one evening drove up in her Camaro to pick her friend up while I was out front after closing chatting with her. The smokin' hot friend leaned out the window & said, "You guys got to hear this!" and then she cranked up "Smells Like Teen Spirit" on her car CD player right there in the parking lot. I was literally blown away (& keep in mind I had been the TA for the Pop Culture History class twice by then, so I was at the peak of my Culture Vulture-hood, and had got the prof to work into the lecture content from both volumes of The Decline and Fall of Western Civilization). I remember right then & there thinking that maybe, finally, punk was making a comeback & that hair metal was maybe, finally, on its way out.

One more BOS for the bonus track, the soon-to-reform Pavement's Cut Your Hair. Another song KFOG NEVER played back when.

I've got two Pavement CD's - only because they finished in the top 10 in End of Year polls in Spin &/or RS, but I since I was in Taiwan during their heyday, I can state unequivocally that I have never heard a song of theirs on the radio, ever.
Too bad I missed the Bonus Track taking a phone call.

CYH got airplay on Alternative Rock radio around the time of this set, so I can't claim to have *never* heard them on the radio, but outside of 94-95, they didn't get played much beyond that.
I'm curious which two you have. I'd say there are three that are worth owning: Slanted and Enchanted; Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain; and Brighten the Corners and of those the last is probably my fave. (CYH is on Crooked Rain, iirc.)

9/17/09 - Thursday! Shhhhh....it's a Mystery Year! (1994)
1. Collective Soul - Shine
(News: Tension in Iraq)
2. Stone Temple Pilots - Big Empty
3. Lisa Loeb - Stay
(News: OJ/Susan Smith/Lorena Bobbitt)
4. Veruca Salt - Seether (BOS)
5. Hootie & the Blowfish - Hold My Hand
(TV: E.R. Season One)
6. James - Laid
7. Blur - Parklife (BOS)
(Dueling health care reform)
8. Toad the Wet Sprocket - Fall Down
9. Nirvana - Where Did You Sleep Last Night
10. Seal - Prayer for the Dying
BONUS TRACK: Pavement - Cut Your Hair
as noted earlier, I count 6 songs that KFOG did not play in '94. I was pretty evenly divided between KFOG and Live 105 back then, and the Veruca Salt and James tracks in particular were Live 105 biggies, iirc.

my buffered online stream -- which I can usually rewind and listen to at my leisure, sah-weet! -- died in the middle of Lisa's Lobes, so I missed everything after. dang. some nice ones. Eno-produced James' Laid (there was a tranny folk singer who used to do this at Johnny Foley's pub on O'Farrell a few years back), Veruca Salt, Blur and Seal.

That immediately made me think of Phranc, the crew-cut lesbian folkie, but no one would dare dye her eyes. Or call her pretty.

I'll go w/ Veruca Salt as BOS. Pretty strong set, and no WOS, although I wish radio would have played something besides "Shine" off of "Hints, Allegations, and Things Left Unsaid"... it was actually a pretty decent album, IMHO.

I have the first two of those, and with your recommendation I will get the 3rd as soon as the opportunity presents itself.
