21 Jan 2011: it's... 1998
« on: January 21, 2011, 07:55:29 AM »
AL noted that she was "swamped" yesterday; the '77 setlist still not posted and no clues for today either. We're overdue for some '90s, no?

I'll predict we'll be visiting 1998 today.

ETA; Swelligant is right: 1998

I don't even *have* a 1998 wishlist. But Austin "Bob" did '98 this week:

Quote
Eagle-Eye Cherry -Save Tonight
Semisonic -Closing Time
New Radicals -You Get What You Give
Third Eye Blind -Jumper
Barenaked Ladies -One Week
Matchbox Twenty -Real World
Fastball -The Way
Goo Goo Dolls -Slide
Savage Garden -Truly Madly Deeply

and I would not be surprised to hear any of those, plus Will Smith's "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It", Marcy Playground, Alanis or some Sheryl 'Ho.

WTF pick: Celine Dion's Titanic HFH

Early BOS to Harvey Danger.  "Paranoia, paranoia, everybody's coming to get me" is a great singalong line.

Blech, that list is awful. You can probably hear all of them on Alice pretty much any hour. In 2011.

I initially misread that as "Bitch, that list is awful," and was like, WHOA  :o

"One Week" was inevitable, I suppose.  I still giggle at a lot of these lines.

I like the BNLs but this always struck me as a tad too-cute, bitch.

BOS2 Frasier.

WOS the worst version of "can't Get Enuf o' You baby" ever recorded.  I'll have to request Colourfield's take sometime.

I'll back up the Smash Mouth HM... it was a reasonable followup to "Walkin' On The Sun". Don't quite get the hate for them.
