Guessing (but definitely not hoping for): better than ezra, bush, stp, collective soul, alanis, foo fighters, garbage

Not a chance but I was listening to: Offspring, PJ Harvey, Tori Amos, Pantera, Alice in Chains

Hopefuls: Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, Sonic Youth

that's the same "Bear Toffoli" person that RGM says is "after his own heart." 

Hmm, maybe you want to qualify that, RG?  Looks like Bear also requested Sheryl Crow... doh!

Hell, someone else requested "anything by Hootie & the Blowfish :)"  Hoping that emoticon means she was kidding, but I got a feeling she wasn't.

Yeah -- he requested, like, 8 pop/dance hits... plus Merchant-Crow.  He was hypnotized, mezmerized.

ETA: actual FB post from this afterrnoon: "Me and Bobby McGee…never get tired of hearing this!"  I weep for America...

I'll take that over somebody wanting to hear "God Bless The U.S.A." or "Have You Forgotten?"

I had 2 Fogheads give "+1" to my TLC & Des'ree suggestions; that has never happened to me, I don't think. So we'll see. Hoping for pop but fearing a Morey-style KFOG-playlist-fest.

Thanks Rad-347 for requesting Ini Kamoze, another one that's on my wishlist.

I think 1995 is one of those years when the music was either really great or really shitty.  Not much in between.  We shall see!

Outside of 10@10 I wasn't listening to KFOG much that year; mostly Live 105. Which was indeed a hodgepodge of the good (Edwyn Collins) and the crappy (dreck like Live).  Pop was more interesting -- I was thrilled to see someone request Vanessa Williams' "Colors of the Wind"! -- but I suspect AL will not go there.

Of course the noodling is mostly courtesy of Mr. Santana. Not that I have a problem with that.

You mean me? Hey, I don't hate the blues. What I don't like about them as part of 10@10 is they never "chay-ay-aaaange"...

Blues matured long before rock and roll discovered them. Led Zep's first couple albums were blues-heavy, and while I like them, aren't distinctive. But when they expanded and distorted the blues into hard rock, things got interesting.

10@10 to me is about songs distinctive to a time (or theme). Keep blues to an all blues set.

I'll give a bos for Everything But the Girl, a group I never heard on the radio, but hear on RadioParadise now and then.

Eh, it wasn't bad for the blues.  Kinda Portisheadesque.
