And we go to 11! With an egregious LN, no less! (Although it does go with the basketball theme.)

11. Tom Petty - Jammin' Me
Let's get right to it.

She didn't cop to it during the backsell. And I didn't keep track to see if she left something out.

I guess the Warriors won that game (I was waiting for her to confirm that), but it appears they lost the rest of them.

Still more Warriors > 10. Prince - Starfish and Coffee

Woot! I know RGM requested this but I think there were others, too.

It's been requested many times and I always get +1's when I do.  Will have to listen tonite -- but the rest of this looks pretty underwhelming to me -- kinda surprised she missed a chance to note Morrissey's B-day.

Sign O' the Times is such a great double LP. So many of those are compared unfavorably to The White Album; you often hear "if only they'd cut it down to a single LP it woulda been killer!" (Tusk comes to mind.) But the Prince is just fab.

White Album has quite a bit of filler itself. But it's Beatles, so every song eventually becomes part of the Canon. Just think if Revolution #9 had been put out under Yoko's name. You're right in general: the worst was G&R putting out two double albums at once. Use Your Illusion 1/2 would have been much better.

That was a pretty good Lakers team.

I, too, requested "Starfish & Coffee", but I also requested "Housequake" from said album.

This set concluded the Saturday replay, and six songs later they played "Where the Streets Have No Name" and three songs after that they played "I Won't Back Down".  So within a 10 song stretch they played two U2 songs from the SAME album and in an overlapping ten song stretch they played two Tom Petty songs from consecutive albums!  Is anybody paying attention over there?
