I suspect it will be quite a dull affair, but I asked for Blondie, Cher, and Britney Spears nonetheless.

oh and also "David Duchovny (Why Won't You Love Me?)"

Potential '99 Katrinas:

Moby, "Porcelain" and "Southside"
Old 97s: "Murder or a Heart Attack"
Fatboy Slim, "Praise You"
Filter "Take a Picture"
Guster "Barrel of a Gun"
Blur "Coffee & TV"

all have appeared at least twice, and we've only visited 1999 five times.

Kill me first if we hear "Smooth".  

I'd prefer to hear "Tender" over "Coffee & TV" anyday.  I saw Blur perform this with the Harlem Boys & Girls Choir at the Roseland in NYC the same year  Moving stuff.

My 1999 Wishlist:
Orgy - Blue Monday
The New Radicals - Someday We'll Know
Fleming & John - Ugly Girl
Juvenile - Back That Thang Up
Khaleel - No Mercy
Mousse T vs. Hot N Juicy - Horny
Oleander - I Walk Alone
Faithless - God is a DJ
PM Dawn - I Had No Right
Tommy Henriksen - I See the Sun
Fuel - Shimmer
+1's to Lou Bega, Cher, Limp Bizkit (yes, I enjoy "Nookie" - took awhile though), and Blondie

OTOH, the set is probably going to sound something like:
Train - Meet Virginia
The New Radicals - You Get What You Give
Shawn Mullins - Shimmer
Pearl Jam - Last Kiss
Goo Go Dolls - Black Balloon
Len - Steal My Sunshine
Cake - Never There
Moby - Porcelain
Sheryl Crow - Sweet Child O Mine
Fatboy Slim - Praise You

my students know this song, not a good sign!

They knew it was Santana, but didn't know the singer.

WOS G.Love feat Jack Johnson (or is it the other way around?) Either way -- yeesh. Horrendous.

This song combines several annoying things:
- vocal histrionics akin to what you hear all over American Idol, Christina Aguilera, etc.;
- Gypsy-tinged guitar work (I can't tell you how I grew to hate the Gypsy Kings, and I blame one errant evening spent at the Steps Of Rome cafe in North Beach.  What an annoying place.)
- self-reflexive vocals (Carlos' name is dropped by this rapper)....

...but maybe ALL that's topped by the rapper introducing Jack Johnson.

Actually, I've grown less hostile to Jack Johnson.  I guess it comes with getting older .... and sleepier?
