Cake, I Will Survive

Y&S

Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!! Competing threads!!!!

Back 2 Good, both not 1996, and it's the most boring effort MB20 has to offer (which is saying something).

Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!! Competing threads!!!!

no, merged.  Peace in the Valley!

[radical347]

I like Back 2 Good well enough, and everything else played so far, but we need some more N's.  At least the Cake song wasn't one of their most LN.

Except Sheryl Crow, Y&S

I feel a lot of Y&S's coming on, but I'm gonna call all of 'em out individually, by gum.

Interesting Ted K. clip.

Here's that 6 Underground song. I liked it the first ten times I heard it.

I was thinking the Sneaker Pimps are a classic one-hit wonder, but research reveals they had another song that was a top-25 single in the UK. I cannot recall another song besides 6 Underground that got one iota of Stateside airplay, however.

I like it too, but it's one of those songs that's been popping up in KFOG's regular recurrent rotation a gazillion times as an "oh wow" song and therefore isn't terribly N on 10@10 anymore.

Yeesh & Sheesh, an RGMike creation (it's in the glossary thread, I swear)

Another KROQ/Live 105 '96 staple, this one that samples BB King. I also liked it the first ten times I heard it, then Y&S. These last two songs remind of my drive to my dreary '96 job in a year that was not that fun for me. Sigh. Sledgehammers (to the face).

[radical347]

Standingoutsideabrokenphoneboothwithmoneyinmyhand...very competent segue from 6 Underground, I must say, but we really need something a lore more bustout-y.

And that's not the Eels, although it's closer than the other ones.

Edit: and that's definitely not the Wallflowers. :-/  Y&S Indeed.

[Here'sToYa!]

Aaaaahhhhh!!!! These nasty Sledgehammers keep on coming. Novocaine for the Soul. Usually I wouldn't complain about 10@10 raiding the "Alternative" playlist in the '90's (it was a damn sight better than what was on AAA that decade), but '96 is an exception.

Fourth one in a row now, with Wallflowers. I'll bet that rocked the AAA stations at the time, though, too.
