21 Feb 2013: it's... 1989
« on: February 21, 2013, 09:42:34 AM »
RR's clues: "if you build it they will come" and "Oakland wins the World Series".

2NG is doing a '67 retro-chart today and I'll stick with that, thanks.

Predictions: FYC, "Love Shack", "Everything is Broken"

Wow, it's one of my least favorites of his. I just can't abide that riff.

I like that riff but I can't resist singing "neener neener neener neener" along with it.

LN Petty.  The Alarm gets a pass from me, for now.

except for a couple of AL excursions, '89 is a year that has rarely surprised and often annoys. It was traditionally one of Dave's worst. Oh, for some "Walk the Dinosaur" or Kon Kan.

I'm with Davefish on the opening riff. It sounds like someone who's been playing guitar for six months noodling around.

Neil Young "Rockin' In The Free World" - apparently a repeat from Renee's last visit to '89.

For whatever reason, the KFOG personnel or their assessment of what listeners find palatable exclude the most exciting genres of this period. However, when they venture outside their extremely limited parameters, that song often wins BOS.
