BOS4 Five for Fighting, Easy Tonight.

WOS4 Five For Fighting

I had to google this one -- did KFOG play it at the time?

[urth]

Oh, Al.

VHM BNLs at their most appealing.

OK, I was torn between IDing that as Shawn Mullins or them.  Thx for the confirm. 

And now who's this sounding vaguely Bono-like? How many of these songs were on the KFOG playlist circa 2000?

yes -- he does seem to be channeling Mr Vox.  KFOG def played Knopfler, Keb mo, Coldplay and the BNLs and (I *think*) Lifehouse..

[RGMike]

And the obligatory Dandy Warhols, a '99/'00 frequent-flier of the first order, tho' I do like it alot.  From one of KFOG's occasional "we really need to be more like Live 105" periods which were always short-lived.

Second repeater from AL's last 2K visit. Dandy Warhols--Portland in the house!

[radical347]

FFF was big on AAA during that song and Superman (It's Not Easy); I wasn't familiar with KFOG specifically at that time though.

Dandy Warhols...kind of LN, but I guess they could have picked a less interesting way to end.

Glad she cracks herself up...'cause she doesn't have that effect on anyone else.

There were a bunch of crappy bands with numbers in their names around that time, and we got three of them. I'm surprised the braintrust didn't find an Eve 6 song, too. Whatever genre these bands belong to (post-grunge pop?), I hate it and probably take about a half-second to change the station when a song like Kryptonite comes on.

I'll go out and say it: I like "Kryptonite". Five For Fighting, yeah he was dull.

So here's my report card, Good/Necessary

1. C/C - KFOG played it back in the day, but not too often now.
2  D/B - Keb is something of a Guilty Displeasure
3  A/B - I want to say KFOG started playing this in like May 2001.
4 C/A - definitely more of a 2001 song (and it didn't chart until 2002). Certainly their first 10@10 appearance, no?
5 B+/D- - not a Coldplay hater by any means, but RR should've selected something different.
6 B/F - the first time I saw the word "recurrentitis" dealt with this song and its followups.
7 A/B+
8 D/D - I've mentioned it before, but BNL has not aged well.
9 F/D- - only slightly more tolerable than Edwin McCain
10 A/C
