"Runaway Train" moves up a notch on the list.


Not a bad song at all, though I far preferred "Black Gold."

another one I'm surprised is not on that list: World Party.


making it's 3rd (& qualifying) appearance today, but we only heard it in '02 & '05, so it really isn't overexposed yet.

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.

;-)


Love to, but there's this thing called work...

BOS World Party.

And here's another one off  the K list.
Let's get right to it.

I agree with Gaz about the Lennox -- gotta be in the top 3, certainly. I'll say the percentage is more like 60.

And he's wrong about EJ, Top40DB has that song firmly in '93, tho' I've no idea what the right answer is.

And heeeere's "Connected"!
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

Yes he & you certainly are correct.  Annie has shown up an astonishing 7 out of 13 times (as has one of the next half dozen tracks on his list).  Haddaway was alone in 2nd place at 5/13.  And as long as he doesn't pop up today "Connected" now moves into a tie with him.

But I gotta give Stereo MC's a sledgehammer VHM in spite of it all.  Was doing a lot of clubbing in '93, and this song always packed the dance floor.

Throw out a % guess at least, Gaz was rather high.

I'm guessing Sting's not on the list because Dave spreads the love among several tracks from 10 Sumner, er, Summoners Tales.  BOS "Fields of Gold", still lovely after all these years.

In fact I still rather like just about all the Katrinas in this year, so Dave's lack of exploration doesn't bother me in this year nearly as much as in most others.  Including Haddaway (for the same dance club reasons above)...and now ditto for Lenny! BOS #1 from me.

mshray now dreaming about that lady drummer in the video...

An end to witch hunts?  Bull fucking shit.  But I won't trash the entire Clinton presidency on the subject of DADT since we've seen the subsequent CIC do so much worse.  Seven years ago I voted as a gay man.  Three years ago I voted as an American.  Next year I shall vote merely as a citizen of the world.

Spot On!

Dave has played 4 tracks, and this is only the 2nd to get a replay.
