You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

Anyway, I'm happy to hear the chicka-chicka song, even if it was overplayed 10 years ago.

While it might be LN, a song with only three appearances in 10@10 sets and none since 2010
doesn't qualify as a FF.  And while LN has a strong negative connotation, I find the FF designation
be more neutral.  And is a katrina one of these two, or something different?  Maybe we need a
little more rigor for these terms, or better proto-examples.

Katrina was the original term, when this board first began 14+ years ago, and it meant a song that was played too often on 10@10 by Dave in the year-of-the-spin -- named after Katrina & the Waves, obviously.  LN is of more recent vintage, and connotes a song one is sick of generally from overall radio exposure, esp if it's a KFOG airplay staple.  So (for example) if you don't listen to Oldies 103.5/K-FOX/The Bone/98.1 Kiss all that much, my LN may not be your LN.  An FF is similar, and I think it was first used on the Annalisa and G'snipes FB pages because most folks there wouldn't know what a Katrina was.

Yep, Dave played "Walking On Sunshine" three times in a fairly short period in 2001 (can you imagine the Gsnipe reaction if Renee were to do something like that?)

I would define FF as something I'm used to hearing on 10@10 without it quite reaching Katrina status.

Whereas an LN would be something that one can regularly hear on corporate radio. Recent examples include Green Day's "Time Of Your Life" and any 10@10 which plays "Lola". Qualifiers for LN vary widely by poster.

Indeed it did, and does...  I have their Hollywood Dream album, and the rest of it is fairly middling,

Dave seemed to play some songs every other time their year came up, and then drop them
when he thought the audience was tired of them.

I like the idea of having a distinction between, say, LN -- "something that one can regularly hear
on corporate radio," and a FF which is measured within the context of KFOG's 10@10.
