Re: seven song shuffle
I'm trying to think of some 90s dreck that I actually like as opposed to Irony Like and that enough people around here care enough about to majority hate.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

Re: seven song shuffle
Yeah, my list may be a bit UK-centric but I would have thought you'd have known the Hooters and Chicago songs.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Re: seven song shuffle
Revised, thanks revbob:
I'll do my best, in no particular order
1. Dave Matthews Band - Don't Drink the Water
2. Grateful Dead - Cream Puff War
3. Spin Doctors - Little Miss Can't Be Wrong
4. Don McLean - American Pie (I actually prefer Everybody Loves Me Baby, but I don't think anyone cares about that song either way)
5. The Eagles - Desperado
I know a lot of people don't like Sinatra, Crosby, and such that i listen to, but I've never picked up that anyone really despises those old crooners per se - too far removed from the cultural conversation - so I'm not including that stuff. If anyone feels like any of those five are too defensible I'll pick some others.
Revision 1: Led Zeppelin song seemed too good

Re: seven song shuffle
I vaguely remember the Hooters being a thing in the 80s. There was a sing that got a lot of airplay and yeah it sucked so maybe it was Satelite. Chicago, probably have heard it but I wo UK ld only know that one song of theirs and I forget its name.

Fields of Gold is acceptable for a Sting track but that Coldplay song is fucking awful.
