Title: 19 August 2010: It's 1997!
Post by: Big Fingers McGee on August 18, 2010, 09:12:37 PM
Per Annalisa's FB page.

I sure hope "Candle In The Wind 97" is NOT played. If it is, well I'll just have to frown really hard. I requested "D'Ya Know What I Mean", "Beetlebum", "Brimful Of Asha", "Ready To Go", and "Last Night On Earth".

I just posted the 3rd "Brimful Of Asha" request -- Cornershop cannot be denied! And also "Lovefool" and "MMMMBop".

Keeping my ears piqued for this one.  I hope it doesn't turn into Alice@104.5 like the past few 97's, although I fear that's inevitable because during the late 90s there was so much AAA/Hot AC/Alt. overlap.  Wouldn't mind hearing either of the big pop novelty anthems that year, MMMBop and/or Barbie Girl, though I know Dave played those in his one visit to 97.

I saw several "Barbie Girl" requests on FB, and am resigned to hearing it, tho' it's a HFH for me.

I'm with you on this topic - this song was never enjoyable in any shape or form to me. "Turn Back Time", though less unusual, is leaps and bounds more tolerable.

A tad overplayed, but I have to VHM 3EB as I distinctly remember it being my summer anthem of '97. (I didn't find out what it was about until a few years later...oh well.)

Wait, so is this the regular version?  I honestly haven't heard this version before then.  I think what I've heard before (on Open House Party) was probably the Fatboy Slim remix.  Man, that one got me spoiled since this just sounds so watered down in comparison...but I'll still BOS3 it 'coz I can.

right,  I became used to FBS's version before I really knew of Cornershop's orig,  It lacks the amyl nitrate feel of FBS, but it's got the soul.

Not often I get TWO requests in one set, so I can't complain, and we avoided what woulda been 2 major WOSes in "Barbie Girl" and Sister Hazel (both got multiple requests on FB).

"We couldn't end with anything better than that." -Uhhhh....ok, Annalisa  :-\

"That's one of those songs that's going to end up on the best of all time lists." -Umm, really Annalisa?  ???

"Paranoid Android masterpiece" -Was that sarcasm, Annalisa?  ::)

Oh well.  Most of the set was much better and less generic than the previous 97 sets.  Keeping my fingers crossed for Eleanor McEvoy next time. (And let's hope we don't have to wait 8 1/2 months for the next one, like we did between 2 Oct 09 and 16 June 10.)

oh, AL: the  "'Bohemian Rhapsody' of the '90s" was actually... "Bohemian Rhapsody" ;)

I don't remember it ever coming on the radio, but it was on a Blockbuster promo, which led me to buy the album. It would wind up going to #7 on my personal chart (and it would be the only time Eleanor would reach my chart). My how times have changed.

I'll add that for the longest time I thought she was African-English, a la Tasmin Archer (somebody else who needs to be on 10@10.) At least I got the side of the Atlantic correct.

Not really sure, since I wasn't here then & can't get into the Mediabase archives.  I know it did hit the AAA chart (but if it is unfamiliar to you, then my guess is KFOG wasn't one of the stations playing it) & it even got some pop spins -- which is how I heard it, on my then-local pop station KQKY, not nearly enough airplay to make the chart though.

I gather I'm the only person who genuinely enjoyed "Discotheque."  Yesterday's Peak 1997 set played "Staring at the Sun" from that same album.
