Many of the usual suggestions will get ignored, of course.

hee hee. Not bad on our pop charts either, but those tend to get short shrift in '90s sets.

Someone alert the Tokens--they should be due some royalties!
Let's get right to it.

Didn't catch it, but shouldn't the BoDeans song be "Closer To Free"? Or is this another song?

And Matt Foley was hands down my favorite Chris Farley SNL character.

You are correct, sir! I've fixed it.

And urth, I'm not sure if you were implying that the REM title was wrong too, but they did actually cover "Lion Sleeps Tonite" as a B-side.
