RIP Diana.

uber-uber-uber-LN3 "Bittersweet Symphony". Seriously, KFOG plays this 27 times a week.

That may be. Still love it. And the Verve's greatest hits makes for a great road trip album.

hehe, but it certainly evokes the time frame, donit?  Same w Tubthumping, which is not only a great song, but brings you right back to 97. for the record, I like both songs.   I'll have to take your word on The Verve being played on KFOG a lot, because I don't really listen to the station :), but can the same be said for Chumbawumba?  Does KFOG play it much?


ooh, Hanson!  MMMBOS, mmmkay?

Hanson!  OMFG!!   uber-BOS "MMMMBop", one of the truly great pop singles of the '90s.

Not that this is not a great pop song, but the competition is kind of thin... :)
Let's get right to it.

Oh hells yeah. They were playing Chumbawumba 27 times a week during the DC era.  maybe not so much at the moment.

Oh. Fuck. The Bosstones -- as LN a FF as ever there was.

Ok, I'll go with "The Impression That I Get" as the least necessary 10@10 entry ever.

Bono stares at the sun. No wonder he always wears those shades.

uber-uber-uber-LN4 "Sex & Candy", another never-need-hear-it-again KFOG staple. What a fucking schizoid set this was been.

no Foos like the old Foos -- another playlist staple. Good gawd.  This set is turning out to be "Everlong".

unless you love Hanson or "Barbie Girl" I'd say you're lucky to be away, Cap'n.

I think calling Aqua a "band" was rather generous, Renee.

Most of these were decent songs by themselves, but the set was less than the sum of its parts.

Should be interesting to see who gets BOS today.
