5 April 2012: It's 1997

[radical347]

ACK, Goodbye Dead Princess!  Uber WOS.

I agree we didn't need to hear it, but it was inevitable in a '97 set. And one of the biggest-selling singles ever. So it's historically necessary, but not musically.  A bustout is a bustout.

Yep, as far as good/necessary, it might be our first ever F/A

Yeah, I'll support that.  But if it keeps on getting played, it will rapidly turn F/F.

I must have missed that training session.  In 7th grade, an F/A meant I got an F on the assignment, but an A for penmanship.

Hahaha!  It's pretty similar.  The first grade is how "good" the song is and the second is how "necessary" its appearance on 10@10 is.  The song gets an F, but as far as being necessary in the context of 1997, she kind of had to play it.

I can't honestly say that was terrible -- the Bosstones were the only truly egregious LN (that song should be banned for the next year, at least).  Yeah, I hate Sublime and would've preferred she close with Hanson rather than the Foos. But it was certainly 1997 to me. And few of these were actually played by KFOG that year.

IMHO, "Wrong Way" isn't necessarily the worst song to kick off a set, but yeah, the Bosstones really could use a break of about 25 years.

That and Everlong - appearance number 7.  (Two of them actually being in theme sets.)

The Foos' songs all sound the same to me so it's hard for me to tell which ones are more overplayed than others

Same here.  But lucky for us, they all are.
