13 Nov 2012: it's... 1999

[RGMike]

good gawd.  I'm outta here -- The Sound is doing '75.

TOTHC the Foo Fighters "Learn to Fly."  True story, I was just thinking last night how awesome this song was to me back in 99/00.

It was my personal #1 when 1999 became 2000.

Anybody recognize that clip?

ETA: I'm thinking it was Freaks and Geeks, which was an awesome show.

Oh, nice!  It was my #1 also for five weeks in 2000 and #2 for the year.  I'm kind of Foo'd out but I guess I'll BOS it. 

The STP's with their most tolerable effort get a HM.

[Davefish]

Not fond of the sample in this Moby song.

WOS for the execrable "Last Kiss".

I'm not even listening but I'll second that. A godawful song that did not need to be covered, "ironically" or otherwise.

WOS for the execrable "Last Kiss".

It sure does generate a lot hate... no, it's by no means a great, or even average PJ tune, but by no means do I feel it's as awful as indicated here.

[Davefish]

Biggest possible LN for Everlast and Santana. Nothing good about this.

[Davefish]

I'll give a BOS for Guster. A fine band.

even within the category of Teenage Death Songs ("Teen Angel", "Tell Laura I Love Her" etc)  it is considered to be one of the worst, and its recurring chart appearances over the course of nearly 40 years just compound the horror.

[Davefish]

I know Counting Crows are unnecessary pretty much all the time, but I like "Mrs. Potter's Lullaby".

Hmm...this pretty much was 1999 to me, though as usual I wish they had more than just hits/AAA crossover mainstays.  3 #1's on my chart (1, 4, 10), and what's quite possibly the 2nd worst song of all time (5). I don't disagree that the PJ remake is awfully unnecessary/unnecessarily awful, but it cracks me up and is good compared to everything else they've released in my opinion.

[RGMike]

Sorry,  but that looks absolutely hellish to me, and even tho' '99 has only been visited a handful of times in the last 3 years, nearly everything there seems LN to me, as 3/4 are KFOG playlist staples. The Baz Luhrman belongs  in a June "dads 'n' grads" set and nowhere else.  Yeesh & Sheesh.
