24 Jan 2013: it's.. 1993

[Here'sToYa!]

eeek: Hiatt. I liked this one at the time. No, notsomuch.

KFOG must have really sucked between 1987-1996.

Hee. Actually, they were a decent Triple-A, or maybe what Triple-A was back then was better.  Fewer overplayed "classics" (which was supposed to be one of Triple-A's selling points), No-repeat workdays, and what new stuff they played was genuinely adult. Also a tad boring, but if you wanted upbeat alternative, that's what Live 105 was for.

I think the "genuinely adult" part was what I was talking about.

WOS2 10K Maniacs, one of the least-necessary cover versions EVAH.

[Here'sToYa!]

I remember this Nat Merchant cover arousing disgust on the old AL page.

2nd repeat from last month: Morphine, "Buena". Yeah, it's good, but come on Renee.

So we're at two flat-out repeats and two different songs  by artists that also appeared last time (Cracker, CCrows). Bad record keeping. People notice this shit, and I don't just mean us and the G-Snipes.

10,000 Maniacs "Because The Night"

[Davefish]

Umm, this is a pretty unnecessary cover of the perfect "Because the Night". Natalie ain't adding nothing to the song.

And disgust right here, right now

It was great music to listen to if you were at work or at home doing errands – occasionally you’d hear something new, and you weren’t subject to KOIT-like programming. Once in awhile you might even get introduced to something you’d develop a passion for.

But yeah, I can definitely see how a constant lineup of John Hiatt (a personal guilty displeasure), Van Morrison,  etc. could bore one to tears.

Another repeat -- RHCP "Soul To Squeeze"

[RGMike]

The Coneheads movie is way underrated. Seriously.

And here's our *THIRD* repeat: RHCPs. Unforgiveable..

This is the most-commented on thread in the RR era, and the most since a 1975 set generated 56 responses 4/24/12.

EDIT: I'll suggest this thread will at least match the 4/24/12 show to be the most commented-on thread during the Gsnipe era (commenced 3/1/12). A 1969 set in late February 2012 got 57 responses.

[Here'sToYa!]

Bad record keeping.

Or the playlist is really that narrow.

I probably like RHCP more than most, but not this overplayed snoozer.

River Phoenix died>BuenaBuenaBuena?  Oy.

I'm still cool with most of this set, except for Mr. Jones and RHCP.

Numbers inflated during the Virus Era. This thread won't make the HOF as a result.

Make that three flat-out repeats. WOS RHCPs.
