The "rare" songs weren't cool (i.e. the fairly underexposed Tom Petty, TTWS...although to be fair most stations around here haven't been playing "All I Want" lately & that song
is so 1991) & the "cool" songs weren't rare for the AL 10@10 era (School of Fish, Siouxsie, & especially EMF...that one is beyond a Katrina by this point, it can take a break from 10@10 for about 10 years.) The Crowded House we've been hearing a lot on regular rotation since DC took over. I'm "most unnecessary"'ing B.A.D. because, despite them being at Outside Lands, "Rush" sounds like every overplayed Clash song ever made.
The U2 song, which I usually don't mind, was pretty unnecessary too.
BOS Chris Whitley, I guess.
