personally... I think it's bad programming to play an artist at 9:45 if they're gonna be featured on 10@10.  But then this morning they played Counting Crows twice in 45 minutes. Yeesh.

As I've mentioned before; one of the funniest things I ever heard was the first time KDIA played the "black radio edit" of PTFM, which deletes the words "white boy".

he recycles the melody line from "wintertime" (the "hear me calling, hear me calling, hear me ca-a-aa-ling" part) at the beginning of "the window." but, i'm not sure which song came first.

I gotta say, I agree. Wild Cherry was the closest thing to a katrina, and I think it's been redeemed for the time being.

Anyone spotted the vinyl? I'm thinking it ain't happened yet.

Whoa!?!?! Who's this doing the cover of FM/Bob Welch's "Silverheels"? I gotta say I like the original better, but this is likely the vinyl, and def. a bustout.

I'd call Ms Nightengale a Katrina or pretty close to one, but I'm not complaining... exactly.

It's actually very hard to say, because as I believe I mentioned once long ago*, all the tracks for both albums were recorded at the same time & some thought was givien to releasing it as a double album.

*at that time I posited that this might have been the, or at least one of the, greatest studio double albums of all time, rivaling Elton, the Beatles & Stevie in terms of sales & chart success.

Well, here's my BOS--I believe this is Jethro Tull? Locomotive Breath?

ETA: Well, the bit before the swine flu clip was Locomotive Breath, but now we're hearing Too Old to Rock & Roll. Great song, but the rest of the album is kind of ehhh.

(Locomotive breath wasn't 76 anyway, so I was wondering about that.)

That was weird, because that WAS the intro to Locomotive Breath (or at least, I think it was), which would have been the wrong year.  Dave's f*ckin' with us.

I'll give a "Most 1976 of Set" to Boston's "More Than a Feeling", which is very high on the list of auspicious debut albums.  But BOS still for Jethro.

Okay, be honest everybody, how many of us were actually listening to Bob Marley in 1976?  I wasn't until '78, and even then only knew 2 or 3 other kids who'd gotten exposed.

They didn't write this one though.  One of Neil Diamond's roadies wrote it.

ETA: They did write "If I Said You Had a Beautiful Body (Would You Hold It Against Me)", maybe Dave can play that in the next '79 set.

I was. He was all over FM radio in NYC at the time -- one of the Top 40 stations played "Roots Rock Reggae" heavily as a single.

I remember reading a cover piece in Rolling Stone on him around '76, but outside of hearing him on the radio now and again (RIP KZAP), it was probably a year or more til I heard any of his stuff in earnest.

BTW, don't I get any Frink points for identifying Blaze? Some people here (no names, please) would be gloating all over themselves for knowing that!

I remember playing that single in college. I believe they were on Epic, iirc.

Hey I'll def. give you frink points for that.  Dave had a momentary pause when he ID'd the vinyl, and I found myself thinking "Is it Blaze? Is it Blaze? Is Mike right?"

and howsabout my knowledge of the writer of the Bellamy Bros track?

A classic case of hitting the wrong button when programming the CD player, I think. A quick glance thru the catalog of Tull compilations shows that on their Original Masters best-of, "Too Old..." is track 3, while "Locomotive Breath" is track 4. Oops. At least he made a quick and almost seamless recovery, so that anyone not paying close attention may not have noticed anything amiss.
