Hideous requests, as per usual. Be afraid...

indeed, I never need to hear "Red Red Wine" again if I live to be 200. And I *know* we heard "Simply Irresistable" last time around.
BTW, someone's started a "Bring back the KFOG 10@10 Marathon" page on FB.
-
Whenever I see "Travelin Wilburys" as an actual request, I get a little ill. I'm just saying.
-
Looks like I have a 10:00 meeting, so that increases the odds of my request(s) getting played. Heve fun and keep detailed notes, kids!

Kicking things off with the whitest song ever recorded: Stand.

Keen choice of words...look at who we have next. (Surprise, surprise) :P
This INXS song worth a VHM, though. Hey, I wonder if we'll get more requests in if we keep on asking for INXS everyday! ::)

oh nothing's whiter than Debby Boone, honey.
My meeting's about to start... hope I don't miss anything TOO fabulous (yeah, right).

I'm tempted to say this Thorogood is a bustout. But that don't make it good...

HA! so true. The background chorus of Stand is what puts it over the top re: soullessness. it almost reminds me of the background singers Nat "King" Cole has on some of his recordings. Oh man...
Both the INXS and Geo Thorogood were direct requests. They both sound pretty good today, I gotta say.

I think this is boring, that's what I think...

agree, this Morphine isn't working today.

No Buena? ;)

This Tracy Chapman songs is her most tolerable to me...but still pretty unnecessary.
-
Randy Newman...VHM'ing this
-
BOS Erasure...I think this one got requested too. I hope she plays the Pet Shop Boys next, that got a +3. :P

What's even whiter is the fact that this was a dance song. Or was it just the video? :P
-
Icehouse goes from 0-2 (I think) within the span of a few weeks in the AL era. BOS, I guess.
-
Whatever the hell this is (the Pretenders?), it's positively awful. WOS
-
Whitest act ever: Up With People
-
The Primitives bring this set to a Crash landing. (ba-dam:ching!) VHM, but there went my Pet Shop Boys dream. >:(

I never thought of the song as a dance song, but the video did have a group of four hispter doofuses doing some prescribed steps. I think it's intentionally dorky, ironically hip and all that.
isn't this Chrissie Hynde with UB40? UB40 gets a pass on the reggae thing.

Holy crap: you WOS'ed Chrissie & UB40 covering Dusty Springfield?? I'm crushed. That woulda been my uber-BOS had I been here.

I agree w/ RGMike - Loved Chrissie's opening line: "You've been crying..."
And yeah, one of those videos with a storyline. Ha!

Michael Jackson. <rimshot>

I'm tempted to say this Thorogood is a bustout. But that don't make it good...
Looking at my "database", I think it is. My wife thought it was by my favorite Irish movie band, The Commitments, but I didn't think so. Hadn't heard the Thorogood version. Apparently Dave used to play the original by Roy Head. Something like this, I guess: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BLQgQNuN-M
Nice. I never tracked down the original.

This set really could've used some N.W.A. Express yo'selves!

bwahahaha! He always seemed a guy who believed his own press. "new Springsteen" etc. And calling yourself "the handsomest man in Rock'n'roll" when you are so NOT... ewww. But in NY, FM rock radio was all over him, doing live broadcasts and so on.

Still better looking than Ali UB40 (who looks like Jim Kerr's simple minded younger brother).

actually I've been wondering what DC's position on rap in 10@10s might be. AL really outdid herself with stuff like Young MC and Sir Mix-a-Lot, and really the demo he's going for ought to appreciate the occasional hip-hop gem.

most of his songs sound the same to me, and I often change the station if he comes on the radio, but this one was pretty good.

No offense Mike :P Just me no likey reggae. In fact, me despise-y it. Then with falsetto on top of those already clicky, sticky, repetitive beats, I just thought it sounded like, oh I dunno...a gerbil getting the crap beat out of it, or something. Additionally, the Pretenders incl. C.H., in general, do not help.
