3 March 2010: it's a Year o' Mystery (1993?)
« on: March 03, 2010, 10:03:02 AM »
Hmm...Soul Asylum. Methinks 91 or 92.

ETA: Whitburn says this charted in mid-93, but I remember them playing Clinton's inauguration in January of that year, so I think it was released in late 92.

as a single, this peaked in '93. so... still unclear.  "somehow I'm neither here nor there"

I just think it's a dull, dull, dull song.

Wow, talk about your sleeper hits. Grave Dancers Union came out in May of '92 but RT didn't hit the charts until June of '93. So we're no closer to having a definitive year than we were before.

But what's the year for Tim Finn? Dave always played Hit the Ground Running in '93, so that's a bit more definitive.

BOS from me too, although I never heard this song in '93 when I was in Taiwan.

I never heard it in California, but then again, I wasn't listening to alternative radio then.

No complaints with any of today's offerings so far. The James and Finn tunes get my highest marks, but withholding a final vote til we've heard a bit more of the set.

Who was tune #4 anyway? I've heard it before, can't place it. Ditto #5, for that matter.

another song KFOG ignored when it was new -- but Live 105 was all over it.

DD's "Ordinary World" seals the '93 deal. BOS2. A big pop hit and also a Live 105 staple that KFOG didn't bother with.

BOS the double D's!

ETA: this one I did hear in Taiwan, and bought the CD at the international bookstore.  There were several great tracks on this, and if Annalisa ever plays "Breath After Breath" I'll be happy for a week.

#4 was the Lemonheads' "Into Your Arms".  I looked it up.  Thought it might be the Gin Blossoms or Smithereens, but should have gotten it.  It's a shame about not recognizing the Lemonheads.
