BOS2 "Delilah" "The Way" - loved this song; too bad Fastball ran out of ideas fast.

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.

For me, the hate stems from their paint-by-numbers mindless covers that they pasted on soundtracks for years after hitting the big time.

And that "All-Star" song grated on me - a million listens'll do that.

Hee. a mash-up of "Delilah" and Mashmakan's "As Years Go By", to my ears.

In two years all these fab songs will qualify as "oldies."  I'm going to go cry.  HM Garbage, channeling Chrissie.

I never knew 15 years was the cutoff. ;)  VHM -- not one KFOG was playing in '98.

WOS2 Brian Setzer and the silliest musical "fad" since the aborted skiffle revival of the early '70s

This reminds me of Swingers, not that I'm BOSing it or anything.  Vince Vaughan, what happened to you?

Blech, that list is awful.

It's kind of arbitrary, but it's the def I've been using since I began listening to oldies radio regularly (3WS in 1985, when Shocking Blue's "Venus" was the most recent thing they'd play).

I think this is the year I didn't listen to the radio much.  Gee, I wonder why...

A steak every day for the past 13 years, I'd wager.

Emphatic WOS2 to "Zoot Suit Riot."  It's not even well sung.
