I'm going to VHM Nickelback, because

1) It was refreshing to see this song at the top of the CHR/Pop charts when virtually everything else at that time was annoying rap songs with vapid lyrics, and
2) I don't mind them nearly as much as every trendy magazine and website seems to insinuate everyone should
3) The gutsy factor, for them playing it, although they could have really been gutsy and played "Too Bad," "Feelin' Way Too Damn Good," etc...

it does pop up in KFOG rotay occasionally. I just cannot stand his voice -- the absolute worst of the "I wanna be a cross between Kurt C and Eddie V" school of vocalizing.

VHM Pete Yorn.

BOS Zero 7.  LOVE this entire album.  Great live, too.

Right on, brutha! This is the good kind of snooze. I love this whole genre (Zero 7, Air, Massive Attack sometimes, Stereolab sometimes). What would you call it? Space Age Bachelor Pad Music?

I don't think Zero 7 or others in this genre got much radio airplay, but Space Age bachelors found it. Zero 7 did have a song on the Garden State soundtrack, though, In the Waiting Line.

"Space Age Bachelor Pad Music" works.    No joke, in the mid 00's I used to to zone out to this (and others such as Royksopp, Tosca, Blue Six, Delerium) in my pad which was complete with ikea furniture, mini bamboo plants, and blue lights.

Sometimes the conventional wisdom is right. As in, "Nickelback is horrible."

LOL: I missed that. I usually edit the setlist that gets posted on FB to eliminate the snark.  Just corrected it.  Light on the clips today, and RR avoided 9/11.

Likes this.

Seriously, the amount of hate they generate is grossly out of proportion with their lack of quality. No, they're not Led Zep, but ya know, not too many are.

Thanks for correcting. That was seriously infantile.

LOL, thanks for fixing that.  I missed it too because while some of his clip descriptors are obnoxious, I didn't look for AW to change the song titles too.

Cake "Short Skirt Long Jacket"

KFOG occasionally plays an extended live version of this... does anyone know where/if it's
available?  It doesn't seem to be part of the "Live From the Archvies" series.

BOS Zero 7.  LOVE this entire album.  Great live, too.

Agree 100%.  Love this song and the whole album.  Great stuff.
