Adding to this, "including classics and forgotten gems from the '60s thru this past decade".

I for one would welcome a Vertical Tasting of Best Song Grammy winners.  Say, '65 to '74 so we can kick off with "A Taste of Honey"?

If the e-mail is correct, I doubt you would get this since it says "thru this past decade".

Great minds think alike: I was about to post that, given how many Grammys he has, this would be a perfect opportunity for AL to bust out some Herb!  Guessing we'll hear Aretha too, MJ, Stevie W, U2... Quincy Jones?

I doubt I'll be able to listen at 10.   :(

FYI...the few posts I've made this morning have been experiencing slow page loads and a couple of timeouts.

I'm getting server timeouts just trying to read recently updated threads, so I doubt I'll be posting during this set.

Can someone take the reins in shopping for a new server host?

Who was mentioning Love Will Keep Us Together the other day? Anyway, BOS1 for the Captain and Tennille. Let the clavinet play!

Btw, so far server times are not horrendous. (Crossing fingers.)

I retract that last. Timed out several times, then got the deconstructed version of the page.

VHM the Doobies and What a McDonald Believes.

EEK! and someones snEEK-in 'round the corner -- could that someone be Bobby Darin?  uber-BOS1 to one of my favorite records of all time.
Title: Re: 29 Jan 2010: 10@10 Goes to the Grammys
Post by: urth on January 29, 2010, 10:15:14 AM
This could be the BOS of the week, if not the entire month:  Bobby Darrin's definitive version of Mack the Knife. Dave woulda been proud of that one.

ETA: Any chance we'll hear Milli Vanilli, or is AL just pulling from a pool of Record of the Year winners?

Also the third bustout of the morning (following the Captain & Tennille and Bobby Darin tunes). BOS3 from me.

VHM to Tony Bennett.

Followed in short order by the "mellow '00s." WOS2, Norah Jones bemoaning her lack of orgasm.

VHM Norah Jones before she became annoyingly overexposed (and inspired dozens of Feist-y women with twee voices). Still a lovely record.

I have to BOS "Sailing" because it is such a sledgehammer.  Slow dancing with Karin Swenson and her 45D cleavage (unenhanced!) at the Foss Hall dorm dance my first month of college.  First girl I made out with in college.

And we come to a close with a big ol' plate of cheeze.

I'm sure AL must be getting a big smile out of this.

I'm torn between giving this a BOS and a WOS. It's kind of both.

See, Mike, AL clarifies the situation.

OMG! Was that a subtle dig at Norah Jones, who "won so many Grammies that year, Don't Know Why"?

We don't either, AL! HAHAHAHA!!

I emailed AL about this early on, and I'm guessing I wasn't alone -- she went out of her way to explain in the backannounce.

Sadly, she didn't bust out any Herb (unlike Gaz, who busts out the herb on a regular basis  ;) )

I'll second that.  I agree with Mike that it was annoyingly overexposed.  It isn't a horrible song but IMO it's a completely generic AC ballad that for some reason everyone went gaga over (except for, oddly enough, the AC format...until she won the grammy.)

Huh. Thought we streamers got aced out of the bonus track again, but it turns out we just missed the intro to it. AL played Percy and Alison Krauss' winner from last year, Please Read the Letter. Not bad, considering the set stretched from the 1960 winner (Mack the Knife) through 2003, when Norah Jones won.

BOS Simon & Garfunkel, I guess.

WOS Christopher Cross

Actually, this set is indicative of the reason I don't pay much attention to the Grammys. Found myself toggling between it and Paul Carrack's Greatest Hits.
