Two '97 sets in less than a month?  Shoot me...

Pretty run of the mill requests.  Hoping for something different - Blur, Primal Scream and Pavement had excellent albums out that year.  Though, "Song 2" wouldn't exactly elicit a "woo-hoo" from me these days.

Regional 10@10's across the time zones! / The Peak week of 10/10/11

« on: October 10, 2011, 07:25:37 AM »

Mon 10/10/11: 1985

Kate Bush be runnin' up that hill and shiiiit.  BOS

Ho-hum:  "And She Was", "Head Over Heels", "I Knew the Bride" (I love me some Rob Nick Lowe, but this ain't his finest hour, IMO), "Lonely Ol' Night".  I'm surprised I'm hearing this mediocre set from the Peak, actually.  Don't they bring out the big guns (bustouts, rarities) on these 80s/late 70s sets?  ETA:  Roger Daltrey.  Meh.

WOS:  "Kayleigh"

Surprisingly sounding good, but maybe because it came after Marillion:  "And We Danced"

If the blues is your thang, you'd probably BOS SRV.  It ain't mine, so I'll keep schtum.  

I don't know if I can quite bring myself to BOS "Close To Me" since I've heard it a million times in my lifetime.  HM.

KFOG's 10@10 / 7 Oct 2011: It's... Fleet Week! (Songs of Sea & Sky)

« on: October 06, 2011, 03:43:25 PM »

And here I was gonna suggest some Gang of Four, but alas, it's songs pertaining to the ocean or sky.  I'm gonna suggest "Vapour Trail" by Ride.  Great song, great band...too bad KFOG probably doesn't have a copy of it.

Here's the song (killer drums!):

The year punk broke, or something.  I'm hoping for some fine UK indie like Ned's Atomic Dustbin's "Grey Cell Green" or Trashcan Sinatras.  No mas R.E.M. ,por favor.

One of those can't-go-wrong years (I think...)  I could be obnoxious and ask for Shannon again... <cough> Your turn, RG <cough>  

ETA:  Got it covered!  Thank you, POC!
