song 4 not familiar and it's not showing on the KFOG thingy. But Loreena McKennit is coming up, apparently.

This Wilco is NTM, therefore BOS1.

Ok, I guess we need to have a Was (Not Was)/Neneh Cherry tour to get some of your requests in.

BOS this PBS-pledge-drive-special-worthy Irish Jig... Lorena McKennit or whoever it is.  I thought it was Kate Bush at first.

I like that song. And BOS for "Karma Police". If she played "Subterranean Homesick Alien" instead, it would be really amazing.

is that what this Radiohead song is called?   not a bad request then...

I think that was a clip from that Jack Nicholson movie, w Helen Hunt and Greg Kinnear.  I recall liking it.

this next song is positively Goo Goo Doll-ish.   at least his strained "I'm a cowboy" voice is....

Portishead isn't doing it for me. It generally sounds to me like she's singing in a different key than the band is playing...

Edwin McCain: Too snoozy for John McCain

Seriously, the fact that he had three top 40 hits puts the late 90's to shame.

Karma Police.  I disagree with it not being a bad request  :-X

I was late to the Radiohead party, and generally whenever I hear them I like them.  This might be an obvious (or bad) choice to a more knowledgeable fan, but to me it was like a breath of fresh air, esp w that Edwin McCain song molesting my ears. 

So what RH song would you have preferred?  I'm curious b/c you seem to have both a breadth of knowledge about them and other stuff during this time (whereas I have large gaps in my 90s appreciation) as well as good taste in general.

Can I take the easy way out and say 'none'?  :o  J/k.  Actually I've just never been able to get into them, though I've tried many times.  (agreed that it wasn't worse than the Edwin McCain song, though.)  Some of their newer stuff I don't mind, perhaps because it's less screechy (i.e. Jigsaw Falling into Place, Lotus Flower), but from that era I think the most tolerable one to my ears is "Fake Plastic Trees."
