and the request thread is up'n'running...
I went with
Smokin' Popes, "I Need You Around"
Des'ree, "You Gotta Be"
TLC, "Waterfalls"
but damn, Bear Toffoli is a man/woman/person after me own heart with 10 mostly pop & dance suggestions.
-
Don't go chasin' dem waterfalls, RG. ;)
OMG. Someone actually requested Carnival by Natalie Merchant.
-
Guessing (but definitely not hoping for): better than ezra, bush, stp, collective soul, alanis, foo fighters, garbage
Not a chance but I was listening to: Offspring, PJ Harvey, Tori Amos, Pantera, Alice in Chains
Hopefuls: Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, Sonic Youth

that's the same "Bear Toffoli" person that RGM says is "after his own heart."
Hmm, maybe you want to qualify that, RG? Looks like Bear also requested Sheryl Crow... doh!

Hell, someone else requested "anything by Hootie & the Blowfish :)" Hoping that emoticon means she was kidding, but I got a feeling she wasn't.

Yeah -- he requested, like, 8 pop/dance hits... plus Merchant-Crow. He was hypnotized, mezmerized.
ETA: actual FB post from this afterrnoon: "Me and Bobby McGee…never get tired of hearing this!" I weep for America...

I'll take that over somebody wanting to hear "God Bless The U.S.A." or "Have You Forgotten?"
-
I had 2 Fogheads give "+1" to my TLC & Des'ree suggestions; that has never happened to me, I don't think. So we'll see. Hoping for pop but fearing a Morey-style KFOG-playlist-fest.
Thanks Rad-347 for requesting Ini Kamoze, another one that's on my wishlist.
-
I think 1995 is one of those years when the music was either really great or really shitty. Not much in between. We shall see!

Outside of 10@10 I wasn't listening to KFOG much that year; mostly Live 105. Which was indeed a hodgepodge of the good (Edwyn Collins) and the crappy (dreck like Live). Pop was more interesting -- I was thrilled to see someone request Vanessa Williams' "Colors of the Wind"! -- but I suspect AL will not go there.

TANC: our newest member complains about blooz noodling and here comes John Lee Hooker.

Of course the noodling is mostly courtesy of Mr. Santana. Not that I have a problem with that.

You mean me? Hey, I don't hate the blues. What I don't like about them as part of 10@10 is they never "chay-ay-aaaange"...
Blues matured long before rock and roll discovered them. Led Zep's first couple albums were blues-heavy, and while I like them, aren't distinctive. But when they expanded and distorted the blues into hard rock, things got interesting.
10@10 to me is about songs distinctive to a time (or theme). Keep blues to an all blues set.
-
I'll give a bos for Everything But the Girl, a group I never heard on the radio, but hear on RadioParadise now and then.
-

Eh, it wasn't bad for the blues. Kinda Portisheadesque.
-

The mid-late 90's had a ton of this kind of "lite rock" female-led cooing. Hard to tell apart from "I'm lying on the floor and torn"...
-
BOS to EBTG, though it was the dance remix of "Missing" that I was hearing on the radio at the time.
-
Wow! BOSFRA to the Jayhawks' "Blue," which I'm always trying to turn friends on to. The Thorns did a nice job on this one years later.
-
Holy Toledo, BOS for a Jayhawks song I don't know. They are great, shoulda been huge.
-
Is this the 60's?
-
VHM EBTG.
Not recognizing this 3rd tune.
ETA: thanks for ID-ing the Jayhawks. BOSFRA.
-
VHM EBTG...I heard the dance mix as well...that woulda gotten a BOS.
WOS to this annoying whiny droll Jayhawks song. (Didn't care much for the Thorns version either...sorry)
-
WOS I'll Be There For You. Two words: Uncontrollable vomiting.
-
Did anyone actually buy this "Friends theme song" on an album or was it just everywhere on the radio? I assume this was a one-hit wonder.
-
BOS2 the Rembrandts -- nothing says '95 to me like the theme from Friends, a delightful pop dittty despite overexposure at the time.
-

It was tacked onto their LP iirc, and was only issued as a B-side of a single because it was indeed all over the radio.
-

Actually they had three others:
"Just The Way It Is, Baby"
"Johnny, Have You Seen Her"
"This House Is Not A Home"
-
"see our friends" -- cute seg, AL. VHM -- I don't remember Live 105 playing this, but surely they must have.
-
BOS3 Supergrass, "Alright." This is 16 years old?! Yikes. I adored it when it came out. Some dipshit pop-rapper named Travie McCoy borrowed its refrain for a song a few months ago.
-
BOS Supergrass. I remember seeing them at The Kennel Club. I had a pot rice crispie treat and was a wreck for a week.
-

Wow. I wondered who this was. NTM. I really like Supergrass' last release "Road to Rouen". It's great, and all over RP.
-
matt sweet, sick of myself. VHM, nice song.
-
VHM Senator Franken!
BOS3 Matthew Sweet. I'm never sick of "Sick of Myself" -- loved the stage musical they created from his 2 LPs at Berkeley Rep last year.
-
Getting kind of Sick of this one...I think we heard it not too long ago in her last trip to 94.
-

Oddly, I haven't heard it before. Pretty good set today, with a lot of rarities (at least to me).
-
Proxy of Mshray for Stone Roses, "Love Spreads." The messi'er is my sistah!
-

I'll second that. This song rocks!

Same here, but I usually don't pay much attention during mid-nineties sets.
BOS for me.
-
BOS2 The Stone Roses. Such a great band.
-
Proxy of Mshray for Stone Roses, "Love Spreads." The messi'er is my sistah!
VHM from me -- this set is not at all bad, considering.
-
Heh, this is the Stone Roses? I heard this a few times in college -- fun song. Lyrics sounded like "insider her she's my sister" or something weird.
-
VHM Soup Nazi -- and speaking of Live 105, Garbage in the rain.
-
Wasn't gonna tune in but you all made it sound so good. It's all new to me. Well almost.
-
VHM garbage... I bought the album but got sick of this song when it was overplayed. Is it a 10@10 rule that AL only plays singles or will she play album songs, as long as it was released that year? If the latter, would prefer Queer or Fix Me.
-
VHM Stone Roses.
BOS to Garbage, though it also gets most unnecessary due to overplay.
-
Woof, Oasis. *nauseous* The band I tolerated because they were a gf favorite. See also steve miller band "Joker"
Definitely NOT the next Beatles or whatever they were hyped as back then.

she'll play LP cuts if people remember them or if they got airplay (this tends to be more likely in the '60s & '70s).
BOS4 Oasis. Mmmm... champagne...
-
OK. I like Oasis. Seen them perform twice
-
Everything in this set is '95-evocative to me, most of all "Champagne Supernova." Leaving college made '95 an astonishingly weird year for me.
-
Yecch...do we really need two Live 105 both then-and-now-overplays in a row?
I liked this Oasis song once upon a time too...then every station decided to run it into the ground...and bury it...and then bury it some more...
-
Neil Young Downtown or something... kinda off-tune but not horrible

I can appreciate and sympathize with your complaint -- yet I kinda dig the irony that most of this set is songs that KFOG ignored in '95.
-
Oh I love the music of Oasis, for any number of reasons ;)
-
BOS2, Neil.
-
Mr Young sings about where the hippies all go -- uh, it's called AARP, Neil. VHM.
-
BOS2, Neil.
OK, you know I loves me some Neil but this is new to me. Geez.

heh, my 95 music knowledge seems so lacking that I appreciate its familiarity.
BOS Stone Roses, HM Garbage
WOS to song #2 and the insipid lyric "I miss you like the desert misses the rain."
huh? Deserts don't miss the rain, they do just well without it. It's called an ecosystem, lady.
-
BOS2, Neil.

This grunge era Neil, which works for me. Nice distorted riff.

Funny you should say that, since someone made a nearly identical comment on RadioParadise regarding that lyric. They are pretty dumb, but the song sounds nice.
-
WOS I'll Be There For You. Two words: Uncontrollable vomiting.
heh, I know what you mean. When I hear that song on TV I run Run RUN to change the channel, but the extendo version didn't seem that bad today. It was there for me.
-
VHM to Neil Young channeling the Tragically Hip. His rocking song are much better than the slow droning ones (tho "Bandit" wasn't bad), I wonder why he doesn't do that more...or maybe it was just radio that didn't play more. She's played this one a few times too, but I think it's been awhile.

HAHAHAHA! Never cared for this tune, either.
-
I'll have to BOS Stone Roses. Overall set was a 50/50 mix of songs mostly new to me (Jayhawks) and those way overplayed (EBTG, Oasis, Garbage). Hey, I'll go with new songs that are not especially enticing over played out mush any day.

This set sounds like a big ol' chunk of Live 105 (or its Sacto counterpart, KWOD) to my ears. Sorry I missed the Jayhawks--they were big on my 1995 playlist. BOS to Blue and the Stone Roses, VHM for Champagne Super-nover and Sick of Myself.

KWOD was like a super-awesome version of Live 105. A curse on whoever decided to change their format to whatever it is now.

At least Sacto has KKDO now, which is still an awesome (although not a "super"-ly so) version of Live 105.

Belated BOSes for tunes 5-9, especially the Stone Roses, who I played to death that whole year. Sure wish they'd stuck around.
