another future 'trina, methinks: it's a "Bitersweet Symphony" all right.

another hm to richard ashcroft, though.

I'll always be grateful to this song for garnering me $800 or so on "Rock & Roll Jeopardy," but I confess I've always thought the song overrated.  Though I really get where Starsailor took its vocal cues now.

OMFG!!! BOS2 Hanson, "MMMMMBop", a GREAT pop single!

It really is the lost Archies single.

Dave plays one of Ginger's favorite '97 tracks, Sister Hazel "All For You"

Ginger just dropped a notch in my esteem ;)

but it's such a FUN song! glad i ducked out after hanson. geesh - what a painful set.

Hope you liked "This is England" as much as I did. Great little film.
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

Cardigans, "Lovefool"
Ben Folds Five, "Battle of Who-Could-Care-Less"

Oh, thank you for reminding me of these two - both major faves of mine, and a big part of why '97 was such a great year to discover San Francisco.  Both courtesy of Live 105, so great at the time.

Live 105's glory days for sure (even if they did shitcan Alex Bennet that year). Worth noting, I think, that of the 10 songs

Quote
1.  Chumbawamba - Tub Thumping  
2.  Paula Cole - Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?  
3.  Bruce Springsteen - Secret Garden  
4.  Verve - Bittersweet Symphony  
5.  Hanson - Mmm Bop   (BEST O' SET)
6.  Third Eye Blind - Semi-Charmed Life  
7.  Sheryl Crow - If it Makes You Happy  
8.  Sister Hazel - All For You  
9.  Aqua - Barbie Girl  
10.  Duncan Shiek - Barely Breathing

only the Bruce, Sheryl Crow, Sister Hazel and Duncan Shiek were actually being played by KFOG in '97. Maybe the Cole too, but I don't remember hearing it much. I *do* remember listeing to Z-95.7 a lot that summer because they were playing "MMMMBop" every 2 hours, like clockwork -- the only station in town that was playing it.

The 3EB track was in rotation as well, IIRC.
