15 Aug 2008: a "classic" from... 1992

[RGMike]

I'm guessing late-'80s/early-'90s...

and (sadly) I'm correct.  I'm not sticking around for this, I can't imagine a '92 "classic" that's worth a 2nd hearing.

[ggould]

and away we go!

Sounds like Black Crowes

[ggould]

Nirvana
Smells Like Teen Spirit

I wonder if the irony of this song got across to the fans.

[ggould]

Talking Heads (or David Byrne) Lifetime Piling Up (?)

[ggould]

REM

[ggould]

aren't any of you young folk around?  I'm pretty clueless about these songs.  We're off soon for our 40th high school reunion weekend.  Then back to school on Monday!

last song had something about Caroline in it
this one I know is Dada, Diz-knee-land

I'm here, but in and out.  Missed everything before now.

[Davefish]

Sounding pretty Metallic here.

[ggould]

here comes another song with chain-saw guitar crunch.  Metallica?

Not listening, but from the songs you've mentioned, it's a classic from April 3 of last year. The Caroline song was Concrete Blonde.

Black Crowes   Sting Me
Nirvana   Smells Like Teen Spirit
Talking Heads   Lifetime Piling Up
R.E.M.   The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight
Tom Cochrane   Life Is A Highway
Concrete Blonde   Caroline
Dada   Dizz Knee Land
Metallica   Wherever I May Roam
k.d. lang   Constant Craving
Shawn Colvin   Object Of My Affection

[Tinka Cat]

thanks for the list, urth -- it allowed me to stick around to the kd lang's Constant Craving for BOS.  Otherwise, meh...

that Dan Quayle/Murpy Brown bit is a certain Katrina.

it did seem somewhat ironically pitiful/funny having someone as clueless as I doing play-by-play on a year I know so little about!  Now at least people will know the names of the songs!

Heard that in the car, that was the Heads, & my first BOS.  It was the one previously unreleased track they stuck on their Sand In The Vaseline greatest hits double disc.

LOL!  I'm certainly glad I bailed.  The pattern, in this month of Friday "classics", is certainly in keeping with our oft-stated theory about Dave choosing crappy years for days when he's not there. But Mon-Thurs this week were excellent sets, so I can't complain... too much.
