18 Oct 2011: It's... 1997
« on: October 17, 2011, 10:34:52 PM »
Two '97 sets in less than a month?  Shoot me...

Pretty run of the mill requests.  Hoping for something different - Blur, Primal Scream and Pavement had excellent albums out that year.  Though, "Song 2" wouldn't exactly elicit a "woo-hoo" from me these days.

I requested Duran Duran, Eleanor McEvoy, and OMD.  We're probably going to get Song 2 along with Smash Mouth, Sugarrhea, Squirrel Nut Zippers, 3EB, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Sublime, Cake, and Beck, with U2 if we're lucky and Green Day if we're not so lucky.

Edit: Or Everlong, which she just posted a link to. :-\  We've heard that song 4x (3x in 1997/1x in the Capricorn set.)

Yes, AL has generally had a tough time with 1996-1999 sets, and regrettably I bet Radical gets about five of those right.

Still, I've been wrong before, hopefully today will be one of those days!

How cool would it be if WE could have our own streaming 10@10s on this page?  Is it possible?  Collectively, we'd put together some pretty eclectic playlists.  Janet Jackson, OMD, Donna Summer, Grateful Dead, NWA, and maybe a RUSH song, or two.

jeez, she waited until after 10:30 to post her clue? I don't have much on my '97 wish-list besides Hanson.

For awhile a friend and I would send each other year-themed concept albums, which would invariably lead into arguments about what year a song belonged to. "The Long And Winding Road" for 2000? Seriously?

I'll be listening but not posting much. Can't get enthused about '97 unless an amazing bustout happens.  "Virtual Insanity" indeed.

yup -- a little TOO-slavish an imitation for my taste.

INXS arrive on schedule.

An excellent idea (especially the Rush)!

BOS Cardigans, really one of the best singles of that year, even if it's a frequent flier.
