BNLs to start, "Brian Wilson".  Dave still hasn't been to '97, but this is Ginger's 2nd or 3rd visit.

BOS the Boneshakers cover of "Cold Sweat", which got quite a bit of KFOG play in '97.  The lead singer here is one of the frontmen from Was/Not Was, no?

VHM Helen Hunt and Jack Nicholson -- talk about the "Oscar Curse" -- her career went into free-fall after that.

And here's Sarah MacLachlan, "Sweet Surrender", which will undoubtedly be an early Katrina candidate when Dave gets around to doing '97 sets.

aaack! WOS Sister Hazel, my least favorite of the endless parade of Hootie clones that inundated radio that year, and another good bet to become a '97 Moreytrina... someday.

Me too, looks like I didn't miss much while on the phone with my boss.

yup -- I couldn't remember if it was "Sweet Pea" or "Sir Harry", but Ginger confirms it was "Sweet Pea".

This Widespread Panic song, "Aunt Avis", is new to me, I think.

Ginger follows Tyson-bites-Holyfield with a song called "The Ring". Heh.

"Shame on You" is 10 years old?  Holy hell.  Listen for the prescient line about immigrants!

If this doesn't show up in 4 of Dave's first 5 '97 sets, I'll eat my hat.

I had the Exact. Same. Reaction. And I'll give it a BOS2. This hasn't been bad (coulda been worse) but '97 was the year of the Rebirth of Pop, and you'd never know it from what we've heard so far.  I'm not expecting Hanson (except maybe in a cheeze medley) but Chumbawumba'd be nice. Or "Female of the Species". Or...

I remember a radio station -- might even have been Live 105 -- running a promo contest around this song in which people submitted their favorite memories of being a college freshman.  And I thought to myself, "People, did you even listen to the lyrics of this song?"

PS: I can never remember if this is the Verve or the Verve Pipe.  How does such a word show up in two hit band names?
