2 Feb 2012: it's... a "Mystery Year" (1988)

[RGMike]

Sorry LRod; Handle Me With Care = LNOAT

ditto. uber-uber-LN3. This song of theirs in particular!

The difference between LN's is whether you like the song or not.  I don't care for REM, and they're played all the time on KFOG, so...LN.  Willburys are played all the time, but I like them better, so no so much LN for me.

actually I LN songs I like all the time. For example: LN4 "Ana Ng"

and uber-uber-uber LN5 Proclaimers. This is one of the worst '88 sets ever, IMHO.

LN: The Proclaimers. Ugh.

You're onto something there ggould. But this is still an LN fest, even by late 80's standards. Proclaimers, Y&S . . .

Now, Siouxsee. This is definitely the greatest "hits" of 1988.

[RGMike]

VHM Siouxie.  But overall: Y&S

LN? LameNess?  Oh, I see it in the Glossary Thread now -- "least necessary".

Methinks that thread should really be in the 10@10 forum, and made sticky, so it stays at the top.  And yeah, the page hasn't been updated in a bit, but that's fine if the thread is prominently visible.  (Although the page could probably use a linkback to the forum so people can see the latest disucssion.)

Anyways, Peek a Boo isn't a bustout or anything, but it is nice to hear, nonetheless.

So, how is a LN different than a Katrina?

Thanks for that Darryl. 

The only good thing about this set is that it was short.  But wow: that was Graham Parker doing "Cupid"?? Live'n'learn.

[RGMike]

and our forst song after 10@10 is the equally unnecessary Edie Brickell and the New "I-wanna-marry-a-millionaire-songwriter"s

[darryl]

And after Edie Brickell (who I actually liked, maybe the first 100 times I heard them, and I seem to recall buying and digging the cassette) was another 80s staple, Phil Collins.  WTF?

I partially agree with you, but there's a little more than like/disliking it, imo.  During the 97 set, I like the Blur & 3EB songs well enough but I gave them an "F-" for necessary because they're played on 10@10 all the time, in addition to being played on KFOG all the time and all other stations all the time.

OTOH, there are a few overplayed songs that sound so good on 10@10 that I don't think I'd ever give them an "LN", such as "Don't You Forget About Me."  Likewise, even though that Edwin McCain song was its first appearance, I LN'd it because it's still played everywhere a lot and added nothing to the set...and was positively awful, to boot.

My "Don't You Forget About Me" would be "Baker Street" or "Hush".
