Tori Amos, "Concertina"  -- well, not overexposed, tho' I'm not a big fan of Kate Bush Lite.

TV: Will & Grace. “This macho bully schoolyard crap is so 1983 I could vomit!"  -- clearly a reference to the current MLP backpack mishegas.

LN3: Len, "Steal my Andrea True sample"  WOS1 from me, I've never liked this annoying non-song.

BOS Blondie, "Maria" !!  -- AL played this once before as a request of mine. What a wonderful song that KFOG completely ignored at the time.

Macy Gray, "I Try" -- also heard before, iirc. VHM.

Macy Gray, sounding just as awful as she did in 1999/Y2K.

While I had some tolerance for "Why Didn't You Call Me?", I'm mystified as to why this was such a big hit.

A very poppy set, lots of keyboards and horns, and not much in the way of big guitars. So maybe we can yet dodge the FF bullet.

Really? I wasn't listening carefully, but that wasn't Tommy James?

I'm giving it points for being a non-KFOG regular.   So far, the Tori Amos appears to be our only bustout.

Can't answer that, but I would point out that this paved the way for Amy Winehouse, Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, and some of the other latter-day r&b chanteuses.

Is this Philip Seymour Hoffman?

What about the REM tune?
