WOS Evanescence -- like a bad mash-up from hell

I know that David Cross would agree.

Kinda like this set.

"If you don't love her your best friend will"

Now *that's* sacred!

"Harder To Breathe"... before Adam Levine became a media whore.

"Harder To Breathe"... before Adam Levine became a media whore.

I love this album. With the exception of those two popular slow songs.

"Harder To Breathe"... before Adam Levine became a media whore.

(a) SRW loves this

(b) I actually like some of their "smoother" stuff but this is godawful.

[princessofcairo]

"Godawful" would be this....thing...who is this? Stefani and crew?

[Davefish]

Whoa, what in the world? Who's covering Talk Talk?

ETA: Yah, does sound like the Gwenster.

Whoa, what in the world? Who's covering Talk Talk?

No Doubt --one of the worst most unnecessary cover versions EVER! Sheesh. WOS2. or 3. I've lost count.

Uber-BOS to "United States Of Whatever".

Uber-BOS to "United States Of Whatever".

you're really disappointing me today, Tim.  This song is amusing -- ONCE.

Jeez.

RG, I didn't hear the set, but I think I would have joined you in slagging it mercilessly (though, I'm not disappointed in the still aptly named IntellectualElitist). How can anyone hate Hey Ya? It's like the Hey Jude of our time (that's supposed to be a good thing).

So lame.  Most of this was like a Hot AC sample hour from 2003...or 2011.  Most of these were not more necessary than Dave Gahan.  Mraz, McLesbian, Evanescence, Maroon 5, and No Doubt were not necessary at all.

I didn't think it was all that wonderful, but I disagree to the extent that KFOG wasn't playing Evanescence or Maroon 5 in 2003. And if they played the No Doubt it was in VERY light rotation. Can't remember if they played the Mrazzz.

I was quite astounded by the widespread hate for Outkast on FB  -- not just the usual rock-purist cranks but a consensus. I'm sure AL thought that was a slam-dunk, mass-appeal BOS contender; I don't know anybody who didn't like that record in '03.
