Wonder which is worse, Inessa in 2000, or Dave in 1988?

*shudder*

I'm thinking of the soundbite Dabe plays during HFHs:

"Noooooooooooooo! It can't Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

I'm staying here.  Too busy this a.m. dealing with cow orkers who have already pissed me off to high heaven to multi-task.

Early BOS for Knopfler, "What It Is".

Ick. I think I'm going back to KFOG. If I want to hear this stuff I can listen to KFOG the rest of the day.

Dave's not doing much better, believe me.

I didn't mind that Delirium instrumental too much, although I'm sure it got overplayed for some people back in the day.

A couple of songs in a row that I don't recognize & which sound halfway decent.  At least they're not Katrina's.

Shiverees (sp?), Ivan Linz (with Sting on vox), Dandy Warhols, Josh something or other, a lot of stuff not on Dave's &/or KFOG's radar.

which Dandy Warhols song? KFOG actually played "Bohemian Like You" for a while, as I recall.

For that year it was probably "Not If You Were the Last Junkie on Earth," aka "Heroin Is So Passé."  Curious to see the setlist.

Collective Soul : Perfect Day
Mark Knopfler : What It Is
Keb' Mo' : Come On Back

I don't get the 10@10 "aesthetic" for these so-recent sets.  The choices seem almost arbitrary in relation to the pop charts.  Is it merely "our station may have played this that year"?

er... BINGO!

As discussed before, for everyone except Dave, the pop charts seem to be considered off limits from roughly '86 onward (and in Ginger's case, even earlier) on the assumption that the target demo wouldn't be caught dead listening to, say, Bobby Brown.
