BOS Cake.  Probably their only song I can give BOS to.  (Everything else by them is ok but samey and stale by now.)
WOS Gin Blossoms.
Most Unnecessary = 1979.  Any other song off of the 2CD set would have been better.  The title track "Mellon Collie & the Infinite Sadness" would have been pretty awesome.  Although of course ALDC didn't pick 1979 randomly.
The Beck song wasn't too necessary either.
That Joan Jett song was ridiculously short.
At least the Brian Setzer song was NTM.
Once again the rarity/bustout wins BOS.

The one Cake song I truly like is one I'm not sure if they ever released. (I confess to owning none of their records.) I used to see them around Sacramento a bit before they put out their first record, and there was a kind of funky tune with the refrain "Shut the FUCK up!!" that I always dug for a variety of reasons besides its NSFW chorus. But I never knew what it was called--I just know it's not called STFU.

Belatedly chiming in to express my shock at the Gin Blossoms dislike.  They were one of my very favorite bands of the time, and when I fancied myself a songwriter, their influence crept in.
