I know Tom Waits is sacrosanct, but this song is booooooooring.

Don't stand in the way of LOVE!

Liking Tom Waits

Me too. Saw him in the summer of 99 from second row seats at the Paramount. Truly amazing.

I think REM had an album in '99 too--Up?

Was that the album with "Daysleeper"?  R.E.M. also had the Man on the Moon soundtrack, but that might have been '00.

I had no interest in seeing Fight Club til about '05 and I was impressed.

And here's the 97s, and a song about losing his girlfriend's cat. Little piece of ear candy. BOS2.
Let's get right to it.

Yep, that's the one. It was released in 98, but Lotus, the second single, charted in 99, on both the mainstream rock and modern rock charts. If that counts for anything.

HM to Ben Harper's "Burn to Shine" - I interviewed him just before this album came out; my first artist interview - but no BOS votes for this set.

Ah yes - I remember liking "Lotus" at the time and thinking it should've been the lead single.  But I haven't heard either tune in the 10 years since.

Damnit -- I missed Cockburn?  Meh.  What's playing now (after Harper)?  It's not familiar one bit.

No clue who or what this song after the Ben Harper tune is. Kinda catchy, but another Narada in my book.

Ah, good call on Santana.  Did he just say "I'm trying to penetrate the listener"?  So wonderful that it's not one of the crappy tracks that were on the radio at the time.  This one is great, and totally never heard before.
