Ugh, "Elderly Woman" from Pearl Jam. As I say on every set that this album comes up on, there are some excellent songs from it like Rearviewmirror, Animal, and Dissident. None of them make it to 10@10.

Zooropa gets a nod for at least being different. In retrospect, I think U2 was shooting for what Radiohead later did with OK Computer but they didn't have the intelligence to pull it off. So disappointing after Achtung Baby.

Cherub Rock gets a BOS, though again, I'd choose another song from this album (just not "Today")

Renee was "headbanging"?  There has to be actual hard rock playing for that, no?

That was pretty awful all around.

Listened to this set last night, and snark at me if you choose, but I found it extremely enjoyable, in spite of the fact it was our second trip to 93 in less than a week, and going to 94 just on Tuesday.

Apart from “Cannonball”, none of these were top 40 hits (and that only on the airplay charts).

Good/Necessary:
1.   A/D
2.   C/B
3.   A/B
4.   B/B+
5.   D/D
6.   B/B
7.   B+/B
8.   C/D-
9.   A/A (seriously, this sounded great)
10.   A/A-

This, along with Nirvana's Heart-Shaped Box, was the first request I made for 10@10. Played three years later.
