Title: 14 March 2014: it's... 1979
Post by: RGMike on March 13, 2014, 08:52:20 PM: It ain't the Sixties... but it ain't bad.

I requested David Jo, "Melody", and the Tourists (pre-Eurythmics), "I Only Wanna Be With You". Fat chance of either.

Post by: RGMike on March 14, 2014, 10:18:42 AM: Well, "Disco Strangler" beats "Heartache Tonight", but I'd've preferred "The Greeks Don't want no Freaks"

yeah, I adore Roxy Music, but this is the obvious choice. Angel Eyes was suggested on the FB thread. That would've been acceptable....

Post by: RGMike on March 14, 2014, 10:39:30 AM: RCA ColorTrak TV commercial -- "Rapper's Delight". Here's hoping it's not the entire 14-1/2 minute version.
Title: Re: 14 March 2014: it's... 1979
Post by: RGMike on March 14, 2014, 10:45:36 AM: Well, I'd give this a B. A couple of mild surprises, and a couple of LNs, but overall, pleasant if not earth-shattering.

Post by: CapnJack on March 14, 2014, 10:58:50 AM: Caught the end of Roxy Music onward -- this set was certainly better than the '90 and '87 efforts.

Did AL announce what got BOS?

Just out of curiosity, because I haven't been paying too much attention, but has she been soliciting BOS votes?

She did solicit BOS votes after this set.
