But we're starting with what sounds like Tim Finn--not too bad so far.

That was nice. but who's this? Not ringing any bells, and I was listening to KFOG heavily in '93.

This sounds to me like Phish, but not that KFOG ever played them until after the new millienium.

Almost gave a WOS to "Runaway Train" just because (a) the song got played out, and (b) rock singers dating actresses got played out too.

But I'll wait.

R.E.M. would seem to be a no-brainer for this set.  But I'd far rather get Barenaked Ladies.

HM to Soul Asylum's Runaway Train. Pretty catchy song, but this cost them most of their cred with the indie rock crowd. And Dave Pirner's becoming Winona Ryder's squeeze du jour didn't help any.

Speaking of Minneapolis bands, we could hear something from the Jayhawks in this set, Gaz--I think Hollywood Town Hall was a 93 release.

There was a Phish song they played around this time -- can't remember the name of it, but it was rather commercial sounding, and melodically it was kind of a ripoff of "Rocky Mountain High", of all things. First & last Phish tune they played until, as Mark said, the new millenium.

WOS to Spin Doctors just for those drums that sound like jumping on particle-board.

Found it.  The song is called "Lifeboy" from the album Hoist.

Which was released on March 29, 1994.


Swinging on the lifeline
Fraying bits of twine
Entangled in the remnants of the
Knot I left behind
And asking you to help me make it
Finally unwind

But God never listens to what I say
God never listens to what I say
And you don't get a refund
If you overpray

And when the line is breaking
And when I'm near the end
When all the time spent leading
I've been following instead
When all my thoughts and memories are
Left hanging by a thread

God never listens...
Stranded on this slender string
The minutes seem to last a lifetime
Dangling here between the light above
And blue below that drags me down

But God never listens to what I say
God never listens to what I say
And you don't get a refund
If you overpray

"Two Princes" got played out, but not "Jimmy Olsen's Blues" (imho).

At least it's one of the livelier songs, "The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight".

She does seem to have a thing for young, pretty rock stars--anyone ever compile a list of her conquests? Pirner was the first, but since then I could name Rhett Miller, Ryan Adams, and Colin Oberst just off the top of my head, and I'm sure there are more.
