Bob starts with a qurky jerk. Named Ric Ocasek. and from a jerk to a "Stroke" with Mr Squier.
AAACK: Santana's "Winning"; we're losing.
VHM Ms Benatar, who always seems to be the best thing in these Drive early-'80s sets.
VHM Seger, gettin' back to his roots with "Tryin' to Live My Life Without You"
BOS Jr Walker's sax on Foreigner's "Urgent".
Styx's "Snowblind" is a rarity and a bustout. But that doesn't make it good. WOS2. Rhyming "snowblind" with "so fine" is especially heinous. And from snowblind to Mr Daltrey drinking himself blind to the sound of old T-Rex. HM, you bet.

yay for a non-hit from Frampton. "Something's Happening" indeed.
AC/DC TNT gets a proxy-of-Gaz WOS. "Oy! Oy! Oy!"
I want to fly from this 'trina, to the sea.
WOS Macca -- "Silly Love Songs" seems more annoying than usual today.
BOS Heart's "Crazee on Yew" with full intro. If only someone could've saved them from Diane Warren-ville.
BOS2 the Bellamys. If only someone could've saved them from country ghetto-ville.
Yikes: live Skynyrd with a S-S-saturday nite s-s-special; WOS2 JT's unnecessary re-do of his own "Carolina In My Mind".

Kansas - Carry on Wayward Son
AC/DC - T.N.T.

ugh.
OK, JCM's "Cherry Bomb" may be the closest we get to a BOS.
WOSes "Fly"ing Floyd and "Rocket"ing Leppard.
it's the end of the world as we know it, all right. Birthday party cheesecake jellybean boom.
I wouldn't let Steven Tyler anywhere NEAR "daddy's little cutie". What's that Chris Rock line about "every father's #1 job is keeping his daughter off the pole"?
Lou Gramm makes his 2nd appearance of the week -- "Midnight Blew", er, "Blue" is loved by some here, but not me.
Guess it ain't '87 without U2.
Duuuude! WOS3 Whitesnake. VHM F-Mac's "Little Lies".
John Cougar Mellencamp - Cherry Bomb
Pink Floyd - Learning to Fly
Inxs - New Sensation
Def Leppard - Rocket
R.E.M. - It's the End of the World
Aerosmith - Rag Doll
Lou Gramm - Midnight Blue
U2 - Where the Streets Have No Name
Whitesnake - Here I Go Again
Fleetwood Mac - Little Lies
Bob notes the similarity between the REM tune and the Monkees' "Auntie Griselda", tho' I think "Auntie" sounds more like the Stones' "19th Nervous Breakdown".

had some streaming probs; joining in progress with "St Dominic's Preview"
VHM EJ, "Honky" tonkin'
Damn -- I missed Chi Coltrane and her huge, er, discovery.
BOS the Dan's "Dirty Work". Wish I could find the Melissa Manchester cover of this.
BOS2 C/N, "Immigration Man".
Yikes -- twice in one week: uber-WOS Robert John, "The Lion Sucks Tonite", one of the worst, most unnecessary covers in the history of recorded music.
TANC: Yes show up, in a "Roundabout" way. Dude! it's a prog 'trina! "Models come out of the sky and they stand there!" VHM
