I requested a bunch of songs - The The, Jellyfish, The Farm, etc.  I seem to have a long request list for 1990 - 92.  College years, I guess!

oh, absolutely. I generally don't make WTF selections for these years as my memory of 20 years ago is still pretty firm.

Which makes the usually dreary "KFOG at the time" choices all that much harder to take.

Yeah, this is probably a "D" in terms of neccesity. "Birdhouse" is this year's candidate for a Chartbusters Katrina set.

I always think this is by Love And Rockets.

no hate for TMBG.  LOVED them back then, but saw then them last season (?) at Stern Grove and was all Meh.

first two (maybe three) songs could be combined into one and no one would really notice. 

Social Distortion gets a proxy BOS from Shray.

"Joey" is to 1990 as "Don't Get Me Wrong" is to 1986, unloved and unnecessary according to moi.

I disagree with Tim's assessment. A "good" set but (like most '90s excursions) it needed some pop or country or.... something.  And a couple less borderline-'trinas.  And the "they played it on the morning show but here it is again" thing is really unnecessary and happens too often.  When I heard "Joey" in the shower this morning I thought -- "I hope AL doesn't play it again but I'll bet she does".

I dunno -- most 'early-90s sets seem along these lines to me.  I think DC is fine with '90s alt-radio fodder. Talk about hitting your demographic sweet spot.

he hates anything that isn't RAWK from '66 to '79.

I have name for that kind of person:  Selvin

"Journey started to go downhill when Steve Perry took over."

"Dude, don't be a Selvin: Journey was never bad."

I agree...this set was pretty standardly Annalisa, but also not too DC-ized.  I think he's starting to lay off, but also she's been doing 10@10s for awhile so we're getting ALtrinas now.

I believe FP hates Perry-era Journey. He's that cranky . . . and I respect that. He also hates classic rock radio standards. Only RAWK deep cuts will do, so he's especially difficult to please, giving RG a run for his money. I think a theme of 10 songs to make FP happy would actually make a pretty decent set.
