18 September 2007--1993 (but it can still be fun!)
« on: September 18, 2007, 01:30:51 AM »
...heard the promo as I was finally finishing my New & Improved Db.

So, just for kicks, see if you can rank the 1993 Katrinas from most egregious to least (minimum occurrence rate of 20% from the 13 '93 sets to date to make the list, there are obviously lots of multi-way ties).

4 Non Blondes - What's Up?   
Annie Lennox - Little Bird   
Blind Melon - No Rain   
Cranberries - Dreams   
Elton John - The Simple Life   
Haddaway - What Is Love?   
Phish - Lifeboy   
Radiohead - Creep   
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Soul To Squeeze   
Soul Asylum - Runaway Train   
Squeeze - Everything In The World   
Stereo MCs - Connected   
Stone Temple Pilots - Plush   
Tasmin Archer - Sleeping Satellite   
Tears For Fears - Break It Down Again   
Tim Finn - Persuasion   
Widespread Panic - Pickin' Up The Pieces   
Widespread Panic - Wondering   

For Bonus Frink points, the above songs represent what % of the total number of 1993 tunes in the Db (get within 2% to win)

For Double Secret Bonus Frink points, which of the above songs is from an album that came out in late Mar 1994, and yet Dave always plays it in 1993?

Annie Lennox - Little Bird (this HAS to be at or near the top)
Stereo MCs - Connected   
4 Non Blondes - What's Up?   
Blind Melon - No Rain   
Cranberries - Dreams   
Haddaway - What Is Love?   
Tears For Fears - Break It Down Again (is this including its errant '89 plays?)
Radiohead - Creep   
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Soul To Squeeze   
Stone Temple Pilots - Plush   
Tasmin Archer - Sleeping Satellite   
Tim Finn - Persuasion   
Widespread Panic - Pickin' Up The Pieces   
Soul Asylum - Runaway Train   
Widespread Panic - Wondering   
Elton John - The Simple Life (I thought Dave only played this on Pride days)
Phish - Lifeboy
Squeeze - Everything In The World

I'm gonna say these comprise 48% of what we've heard.  (No Portrait?)

And I'm gonna guess the Elton was actually '94.

I was thinking the same thing but I think Dave has played that equally in '92 & '93 (or is it '93 & '94?) -- it's one of those on-the-cusp-of-2-years things.

Portrait will qualify as soon as Dave plays it today.

Better Portrait than Haddaway, sez me.

wow, I'm surprised Gabriel's "Steam" isn't on that list -- it sure got lots of KFOG play in '93. Dave knows his culture from his trash.

Steam is hitting me as kinda meh today. Sort of a Sledgehammer redux. And I like PG a lot.

ETA: And I just realized it was in the Peak's 92 set earlier today. Guess it's one of those songs that goes both ways--I know it was released in 92.

Seemed awfully long this morning.  Just went on and on.

Yeah, but it got more airplay in '92, when both the single & album were released AND peaked on the charts.  That being said, however, my Db only has Dave playing it once in '92 and never in '93.  Until now.

HM, TP.  Pleasant, if a little dull.  Sleepy morning, so far.

that one is now 2 fer 14.  That's about average.  I like the song & it might be my BOS if Dave has no other surprises in store for us.

So why don't the rest of you take a stab at the questions at the top like Gaz did?  So's you don't fall asleep & such.
