Some great, some not-so-great suggestions on AL's page.

Kinda swamped at work today, so I may skip this one (and won't feel bad about missing 2000). Even AL implied on the g-snipes page that she wasn't exactly thrilled.

That was perhaps the shortest window of opportunity for requests, too. (Aside from the "empty sets," where she said goodnight when she posted the year.)  Not that most/all of them are going to be played anyway.

Edit: Spoke too soon.  "AM Radio," as req'd by Dave Dirt, even though it was after AL went to bed.

Edit 2: Everyone seemed to like The Corrs "Breathless," maybe we'll get that one too.

I would think that the Corrs' "What Can I Do" would be a 10@10 staple, but it hasn't happened yet. Possibly we'll get their collaboration with Bono on "When The Stars Go Blue".

What's the g-snipes page?

This is a pointless cover of a boring Tom Petty song.

G-snipes is a private Facebook page, and the membership consists of a select group of 10at10 fans (and complainers) culled from AnnaLisa main FB page.    Someone here can get you invited if you want. 

I'll BOS Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, and I think that was Tom Jones, wasn't it?  Basically, all the dinosaur stuff.

BCOS -- "Almost Famous"

"I am a Golden God!"

Still, playing "Tiny Dancer" is cheating.  But I don't mind, because, as Al Davis used to say, "if you aint cheatin', you aint trying".

Speaking of dinos, Elton John. Great song, but...

I think I have enough snark in my life as it is...

Ah, that explains it. Tuned in and heard Elton and figured the set was done. But I guess Tiny Dancer is a song that the New KFOG wouldn't touch with a 10-foot Arbitron book these days.

Well, that ruined the entire set for me.  It's not like it's even Buck Owens, or whose-ever-it-1960's song that she played in that one 1986 set.  Or even the Peter Gabriel remix of "I Have The Touch."  Playing an already overexposed, everywhere, 1972 song for 2000 by someone who was still making perfectly good, but less exposed songs, in 2000, is just unacceptable.

At first I thought she had played "Someday Out Of The Blue", which would have been kinda awesome.

But yeah, the playing of a song grossly out of its time frame for as thin of a connection as a movie is dubious to put it mildly.

Actually, I have a friend who put a 2000-themed album together that included "The Long And Winding Road", which resulted in a fairly heated argument as well.

Only true music fans would care about such a thing!  ;D
