KBCO 5/3/06: 1996

[RGMike]

starting with the Ugly Americans -- certainly haven't heard them since '96, tho' this LP got LOTS of KFOG play back then. I always found it ironic that this album did well, since they sounded kinda like the Spin Doctors, who were flopping at the time with their attemps to follow-up their big hit album.

uh-oh, DMB. Unavoidable, I guess.

Just got in for DMB, sorry to have not heard the Ugly Americans.  At least this isn't one of the DMB's most overplayed tunes, give Ginger credit for mining a little deeper.

VHM TP, he shoulda got an Oscar nom for this song from that Ed Burns flick (whose name escapes me).

[RGMike]

where have all the possible BOS's gone?  So far '96 ain't lightin' my fire.

[mshray]

I'm gonna give a BOS to Paula Cole "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?".

can't believe it's been ten years. ok, maybe i can. i hated this song. the rest of the album is excellent, though. i think it's the lyrics i can't stand here.

now here's a bos!! jamiroquai! i remember standing in the bowling alley the first time i heard this song.

How do you feel about Jamiroquai?

[princessofcairo]

yuck. the wallflowers. what a waste of fresh air.

That was OK, but that's a song that barely registered with me at the time (KFOG barely played it, if at all). And If I want Stevie Wonder, I'll listen to Stevie Wonder.

not if you had the choice between 1996 stevie wonder and jamiroquai.

harumph. the wallfowerzzzz guitarist hit a big flat note. of all the tunes to pick to play ten years later! didn't they release a real album that year? one with the flat notes edited out?

i'm so mean.

[urth]

Hmmm. Sounds like someone covering Bob Seger channelling Chuck Berry. Blues Traveller maybe? Yep, there's a harmonica. Better than most everything else I've heard them do.

(And of course a station in Colorado is gonna pick up on Get Out of Denver.)

and denver kinda rhymes with katmandu. i was thinking it was bob seger, too. until the 'monica, of course.

now, who's this? i vaguely remember the song. and the whiny voice. but i can't place the band. it's not bush, that's for sure.

That was a live-on KBCO version, no?  It didn't sound like the original.

BOS Beck.
