Here's another 90s sample hour, but this time I'm using a different rating format. The station is obviously the same.
NOTES: Incomplete is there as a convenience for those who haven't heard one or more of these songs. And quite obviously, a choice of A covers both A and A-, and B covers B, B+, and B-, and so on.
The sample hour is:
Boyz II Men - Motownphilly Fatboy Slim - The Rockafeller Skank Sister Hazel - All For You Janet Jackson - That's the Way Love Goes ---Commercials--- Tone Loc - Wild Thing Firehouse - Don't Treat Me Bad ---Commercials--- P.M. Dawn - Set Adrift on Memory Bliss Lenny Kravitz - Fly Away Eminem - My Name Is 2 Unlimited - Get Ready For This The Divinyls - I Touch Myself Adina Howard - Freak Like Me

Boyz II Men - Motownphilly F (As I stated in the first sample topic, I can't stand this song.) Fatboy Slim - The Rockafeller Skank A Sister Hazel - All For You C Janet Jackson - That's the Way Love Goes A Tone Loc - Wild Thing B- Firehouse - Don't Treat Me Bad B+ P.M. Dawn - Set Adrift on Memory Bliss A Lenny Kravitz - Fly Away B- (for sounding better on the radio, otherwise it would get a C) Eminem - My Name Is A- 2 Unlimited - Get Ready For This C- (overuse of this song drags its grade down) The Divinyls - I Touch Myself A Adina Howard - Freak Like Me A
GPA: 3.021 - B
Other Comments Wow...several surprises on this one. Of these, 5 (one short of half!) did not go Top 10. IMO, the biggest surprises were the Fatboy Slim, Firehouse, and Adina Howard songs.

Way too much novelty and way too much Early 90's. I'll give it a C... even though "Fly Away, "That's the Way Love Goes," "Freak Like Me," and maybe "All For You" are the only songs that I wouldn't change the dial for.

Tone Loc - Wild Thing: A- (Isn't this 80's?)You are correct. But...this isn't the first time they've made a mistake like this. One other time they played Paula Abdul's "Cold Hearted" even though that's from 1989. Chalk it up to station stupidity. ;)
