15 Oct 2015: an "encore" from... 2000

[RGMike]

well, after '83, '92 and '74... could be '00s or late '80s.  '00s today and '60s tomorrow would be an ideal spread.

wow -- the Richard Lewis intro!!
 
well, as sorta predicted: 2000. With BNLs to start

I like this BNL song.

7. Matchbox Twenty - Bent

I like this one. Hard to believe it was their only #1 hit on the Top 40...perhaps because it isn’t still as overplayed as Push/3 AM/Real World/If You’re Gone/Unwell or even Back 2 Good.

Ooooh, my weekly phonecall with my boss spanned from tune 5 thru 8 (that's David Gray to mid-BB King/EC.) Perfect!! I wouldn't have minded hearing more of the last one, but whatev. Glad I'm back in time for the J-Hox.

I dig the Jayhawks, and I don't know this song! Nice use of the the phrase "pinch me" to nicely tie the set up.

I wonder how much that had to do with essentially riding the coattails of the Rob Thomas/Santana collaboration. Be that as it may, this has grown on me over time. Actually, strangely enough, MB20's output in general has held up better than I would've expected.
