VHM "Chest Fever", which is the result when figure skaters wear skimpy outfits.

Song's too sludgy for me.
Speaking of sludgy, what the heck is up with this version of "Hey Hey My My"?  Is this with Pearl Jam?  Damn, it's thick.

It's the "other" version from the same album we don't often hear (but someone played it recently and one of us commented on that very fact)  BOS2

What was that quote?  Tina Fey pretending to be Sarah Palin?

Robin from "How I Met Your Mother".  If I'm thinking about the same quote("we invented Trivial Pursuit").

Can somebody smack that "all aboot Canada" guy?  That's awful.

I'll give a BOS for Rush's "Free Will", since the minority needs to be heard from, doncha know?

WOS Rush, but thanks AL for the "Take Off" snippet.

I see.  I really hated it.  The whole band sounds like they're overdriving their amps beyond all recognition.

I'm hoping for "Blame Canada" from the South Park movie.  BOS3 Mr Cohen, as everybody knows.

BOS Leonard Cohen.  Concrete Blonde did a nice version of this too, but LC lends it added morbidity.

I'll give a least necessary of set to Sarah McLachlan for "Possession".  I'm sure she could have found a less-overplayed song.  How about "Ice Cream", for instance?

I was unaware of it when it was first released (NYC radio ignoring LC is no surprise) but it was used well in Atom Egoyan's film Exotica in 1994.

inevitable Sarah M gets a "meh" from me.

BOS2 Sarah M's "Possession," a phenomenal song that sends me straight back to the middle of my college years.

Here's yer Arcade Fire who I hear on RadioParadise frequently and always switch off.  I don't like the whiny dude's voice, though this song is better than most.

WOS2 Bryan Adams, speaking of annoying voices.

Oh no, I thought Sarah was unnecessary.  But Bryan Adams blows them all away.  What a rotten ending to the set.
