At least I think that's what Don said--was distracted for a moment, but this Radiohead song sounds about 1995ish.
-
Yep. '95.
-
Hmm, HM to the Vigilantes of Love, Blister Soul. Whatever that is.
Hoping to hear a Jayhawks tune in here--95 was a good year for them.

a #78 chart hit in fact for "High and Dry" in 1995.

I don't have any particular faves for '95. I wasn't really paying attention back then for some reason.

I had no idea who that was -- was that a KFOG playlist mainstay in '95? I wasn't listening to KFOG much (outside of 10@10) that year.
Expecting Blues Traveler and hoping for Edwyn Collins or -- way out on limb here -- Branford Marsalis, "Some Cow Fonque".
-
nice seg from OK City to "you dropped a bomb in my backyard". Don't know who this is but I'm liking it.

Smashing Pumpkins, Foo Fighters, Elastica, Alice In Chains, among others are bands that were at the top of their games that I'm sure Dave will never play.
Look for Blues Traveler, Collective Soul & maybe even Hootie.

Pretty sure it was Morphine.
-
I know we heard Heather Nova in our last '95 set, which seems quite recent but was 6 weeks ago.

Indeed, and thanks, just switched over in time for the Zep, which is a favorite. Not that I can't listen to it whenever I want, but that's where I went...

That last song was not actually Chris Isaak, right? It's somebody who sounded just like him, but it hasn't come to me yet.
-
BOS Sun Volt "Drown"
Nice one Dave!
-
BOS to Son Volt's Drown. These guys were a hell of a band in 95-96.
I remember hearing a great mondegreen involving this song. Someone asked the band about their Cousin Ed, the guy who drowned. (The line is actually "you're causin' it--drown...)
-
BOS Sun Volt "Drown"
Nice one Dave!
St. Louis homies of yours, too!
-
BOS Sun Volt "Drown"
Nice one Dave!
Called in to say so in person, and Dave said it got more than one vote, and added, "God, I am SO glad people know that album."
So I guess some of us Fogheads do rule.

LOL! that's a classic.
This set was greatly improved as it went along.

Danny Tate, that's it. "Dreamin'"

Almost got BOS, so I guess it's more than just you and me, Mark. And we got beat out by a dead guy. No shame in that.
The album Dave mentioned, Trace, is really a great album, front to back. Route, Loose String, Out of the Picture, Tear Stained Eye (aka Beer Stained Tie), and the sublime Windfall, all superb songs. Not at all surprised Dave is into it. Alas, their albums started sounding pretty samey with the next one, and they kind of fell from grace. Jay Farrar's got a new version of Son Volt and a new record due out sometime in July, so I'll be curious to see if they can pull a comeback.

Bonus: "Santa Monica" by Everclear. THIS is how I remember '95, probably because I was listening to Live 105 a lot.

Wow! It had always seemed that Annalisa was picking decent tracks, but still within the usual KFOG format (or at least the A-Z format). But I'm pretty sure that's the first time Everclear got played on KFOG.
I missed Everclear, but a few minutes earlier KFOG played Velvet Revolver. Are they updating their playlist?

Could be they finally hired a new music director to replace Haley.

Didn't Everclear do a concept album a few years ago, something about the '70s? I recall KFOG played something from that, albeit briefly. Coulda sworn "Santa Monica" showed up in A-Z (not most recently, but in previous years) but not in regular rotation.
But Velvet Revolver? yikes, they quite specifically ignored them when the album came out, didn't they? ... an odd backtrack if you ask me.

Everclear did two volumes, released under a year apart, called Songs From an American Movie. They were more about Art Alexakis's divorce, using the '70s template as a backdrop for his recalling happier times; the first album's lead single, "AM Radio," was specific about the period (and a later single was a cover of "Brown-Eyed Girl," in case anyone missed the point).
So it's 1:05am and the 10@10 replay hasn't started yet. I tuned in and "All I Wanna Do" was playing; I thought it was part of the '95 set. Still a memorable song, even for those who aren't big fans of Ms. Crow; I particularly like the line "the bartender looks up from his want ads" and always enjoy mis-singing her payoff line as "the matches and the Buds and the dirty cars / AND SUN MYUNG MOON!!!"

Taking note of "March 4th, 1982" for when I compile my Rock Calendar (along with the usual suspects of Billie Joe and the 6th of June and the 3rd of September). Never heard this Morphine but I'm loving it. RIP Mark Sandman. My friend Victor once saw them on ecstasy and had a glorious time. (I don't care for the stuff, myself -- the ecstasy, not the Morphine).

What 1995 really sounded like to me:
1. Sophie B. Hawkins, "As I Lay Me Down"
2. Martin Page, "In the House of Stone and Light"
3. Michael Jackson, "You Are Not Alone"
4. Seal, "Don't Cry"
5. Smashing Pumpkins, "Bullet With Butterfly Wings"
6. Letters to Cleo, "Here and Now"
7. Lisa Loeb, "Do You Sleep?"
8. Montell Jordan, "This Is How We Do It"
9. Juliana Hatfield, "Universal Heart-Beat"
10. Madonna, "Take a Bow"

I hate posting so many times in a row, but I just realized something. In my list of "what 1995 sounded like," I could easily have listed several other tracks from Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness -- not only was I spinning it a lot, but MTV had all the videos in heavy rotation (and rightly so; those vids were GENIUS) and radio stations in multiple formats jumped on.
So I just checked out their chart history, and it turns out they culled 4 Top 40 hits from that album -- and 0 top 40 hits from all the rest of their albums. I would bet dinner that there's no other band that can claim that feat.

I see no problem with you making many posts, especially since you're three time zones away from most of us.
I am not normally a betting man, but I would be inclined to take you up on this bet, just because it doesn't sound so unusual to me. I'm sure there must be some other one-hit wonders, that may have spawned 4 singles from their first album, then failed to chart well after that. I think you're probably surprised because you think so highly of the band. But I imagine Mark or Mike would be able to answer this better than I.

just checkin' in before bedtime, got the car packed for the dawn departure, and I'm thinking maybe Hootie charted 4 times off their debut but never have since. Whitburn's back at my desk so I can't check as easily as usual.

Maybe he should try seeing XTC while on morphine & do a comparative analysis.

I can't think of one immediately, but MTV essentially created a lot of "One Album Wonders", the video-era equivalent of the OHW.

Hootie did go four deep on their breakthrough album, but their followup effort yielded two more Top 40 hits: "Old Man & Me (When I Get to Heaven)" (#13) and "Tucker's Town" (#38 ). Don't feel bad if you don't know them; I heard them exactly one time each and don't remember how either went.
A close call -- or a winner, if you must -- is Lauryn Hill. Her Miseducation... album yielded "Doo Wop (That Thing)" (#1), "Ex-Factor" (#21), and "Everything Is Everything" (#35). In addition, Billboard retroactively acknowledged, in light of its revised chart policy allowing non-singles to chart, that "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" was a #35 airplay-only hit. But it didn't actually make the Top 40 as it was published at the time, so I'm not counting it.
