16 July 2013: it's... 1997
« on: July 16, 2013, 07:45:51 AM »
The year Web MD went online, sez Nay-Nay. Wiki says that year is '96 but with Renee all things are possible.

ETA: of COURSE Renee knows better than Wikipedia. It's 1997!

TOTHK: Meredith Brooks, "Bitch", beyotches!

'97, right on target. More or less.

Meanwhile, life is a bitch. And so's Meredith Brooks.
Let's get right to it.

Oy vey: WOS Aqua, "Barbie Girl", but still, it's a non-KFOG pop record so that's a good sign IMHO.

Damn, I was hoping this was just a between-song clip. Def. a Hits from Hell candidate.

FP and DB check in to say they'll be listening elsewhere. Gee thanks for letting us know.  ::)

In the same category as "Ice, Ice Baby" to be sure, but I'll take it over a typical 1997 AAA snoozer.

FF for sure, but where can one hear this nowadays? Probably not on Alice anymore.

The Sound is doing '82 -- given their penchant for AOR dreck (Asia etc) that's not an alternative, IMHO.

indeed -- gives me hope that we might hear "MMMBop" at some point.   If we can just avoid Chumbawumba and the Bosstones today...

And "Semi-Charmed Life". Which means we'll get "Fly" and "Walkin' On The Sun"  :P

Still, no AAA snoozers yet.... as unnecessary as Chumbawumba may be (and they did have another hit which we'll never ever hear).
