Radical Ra(n)tings:

It does seem like it was lifted from KFOG in 2000 (except for 9 and 10)...but, for 10@10, I can tolerate KFOG 2000 a lot better than Alice 2011...or KFOG 2011 for that matter.

Good:

A
Five for Fighting (The whininess worked _once_.  Good thing this was his first single.)
Mark Knopfler

B
The Dandy Warhols
Smash Mouth
No Doubt

C
Steely Dan
The Hives (Not a huge fan of the screami-ness.)

D
Elliot Smith (Sorry, releasing the same song over and over again & then slicing yourself doesn't do much for me.  At least this wasn't Waltz #2.)
Soggy Bottom Boys (Couldn't they come up with a better name?)

F
Macy Gray

Necessary

B
Macy Gray (despite being incredibly annoying and already having an appearance...this song was quintessential 2000.  My HS class went completely gaga over this, sadly, but unsurprisingly.  But, for future reference, two passes is all it gets.)
Elliot Smith (I guess.)
Soggy Bottom Boys
Steely Dan
The Hives
Smash Mouth

C
Five for Fighting (Probably would have been more necessary if it wouldn't have snuck into KFOG's regular rotation recently.  Good song but pretty lethargic.)
No Doubt (SKoL is far from the worst they've done, but she needs to lay off No Doubt in the 2000s sets.)
Dandy Warhols

D
Mark Knopfler
