Weezer "Undone - The Sweater Song"

I'll BOS this just for not being the obvious pick, "Buddy Holly". Still, also rather snoozy.

Toad The Wet Sprocket "Something's Always Wrong"

today's "snoozy rarity" -- it may be a bustout, but it's certainly not heard often.

Compared to the Blues Traveler cut, this isn't sounding so bad. It's all about context.

Re: Shawshank, it seems to be on one cable channel or another about three times a week lately. Still haven't watched it.

I bailed early on this set (before it started), but I'll stand up for Shawshank.  The storytelling is impressive, the pace and time it takes to move the story forward.  I'm not a big King fan, but he can definitely tell a story.  And Morgan Freeman's narration, before his voice became just a big ol' cliche, really helps.

I'd be into watching it, but I just can't put up with sitting through 4 minutes of commercials for every 8 minutes of content. Even DVRing and ffwding gets tedious after awhile.

I don't hate it or anything, but I saw it in a theater at the time and thought it was just OK and a tad overlong.  Then it got a slew of Oscar noms and i was like, "WTF?"  And since then, as it has played endlessly on cable, it has become everyone-under-40's favorite movie, if IMDB is to be believed.

I'll agree on the BOS but disagree on its boringness.

wait, this isn't Crapton?  Still blooze you can snooze.

OMFG: uber-BOS2 Des'ree, as welcome a bit of pop as I can imagine.  AL played this once (it was on my wish-list) and it's nice to see it show up again.
