Title: 9 Aug 2011: it's... 1996
Post by: RGMike on August 08, 2011, 08:12:43 PM: can't remember the last time AL did '96 *and* solicited suggestions. Here's hoping this set don't suck. Giter Dunn beat me to a Butthole Surfers request!

OTOH, someone wants DMB and Matchbox 20. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Post by: RGMike on August 09, 2011, 07:59:45 AM: I was tempted to suggest a London riots set. "Guns of Brixton", "Ghost Town", etc.

ETA: one of the '96 requests is the Brian Setzer cover of "Rumble in Brighton". Hmmm...

but for the first time I'm in agreement with Silly Foghead: he requested Brooks & Dunn's cover of "My Maria"

I should have requested Leah Andreone's "It's Alright, It's O.K."

Post by: Davefish on August 09, 2011, 10:12:07 AM: "1979" is probably my favorite Smashing Pumpkins song, but I think I've heard it enough for the next few years.

WOS to this swing band throwback. Straycats, whoever, deserve no credit for reviving but not innovating rockabilly.

OMFG: Brooks & Dunn covering BW Stevenson -- she actually played it. BOS3. As I mentioned on FB, early in '96 Dave played the orig in a '73 set and it occurred to me that Mr Dunn sounds a lot like BWS "they should do a cover", I said -- and (I swear) 6 weeks later this record came out.

Title: Re: 9 Aug 2011: it's... 1996
Post by: Nate on August 09, 2011, 10:32:50 AM: My version of this Alanis song:

"Hit and Run", Jun 3 1997

You are the worst... driver I've ever seen
Thanks to you I've got fractures... and a ruptured spleen
You plowed right through me... You crushed my auto...

You've already run me over, my legs and knees
And don't be surprised if I lose the... use of my feet
And don't be surprised if I sue you... for medical fees
I can't stand now
It's all your fault!

I will admit to liking the Gin Blossoms..... in 1996.

I like the Smashing Pumpkins song, even though you hear it everywhere, all the time.

the Joan Jett and Cake covers were unique, the Brooks & Dunn was by-the-numbers, but I dig it.

Post by: radical347 on August 09, 2011, 10:33:15 PM: BOS Cake. Probably their only song I can give BOS to. (Everything else by them is ok but samey and stale by now.)
WOS Gin Blossoms.
Most Unnecessary = 1979. Any other song off of the 2CD set would have been better. The title track "Mellon Collie & the Infinite Sadness" would have been pretty awesome. Although of course ALDC didn't pick 1979 randomly.
The Beck song wasn't too necessary either.
That Joan Jett song was ridiculously short.
At least the Brian Setzer song was NTM.
Once again the rarity/bustout wins BOS.

The one Cake song I truly like is one I'm not sure if they ever released. (I confess to owning none of their records.) I used to see them around Sacramento a bit before they put out their first record, and there was a kind of funky tune with the refrain "Shut the FUCK up!!" that I always dug for a variety of reasons besides its NSFW chorus. But I never knew what it was called--I just know it's not called STFU.

Post by: Gazoo on August 11, 2011, 10:39:18 AM: Belatedly chiming in to express my shock at the Gin Blossoms dislike. They were one of my very favorite bands of the time, and when I fancied myself a songwriter, their influence crept in.
