and we finally get '68 and people are requesting "Hey Jude", "Everybody's Talkin'", "Born to Be Wild", "Dock of the Bay", "Build Me Up Buttercup"... er, just turn on Oldies 103.7 and wait 10 minutes.

how long has it been since a 60's set?

Not that long, really. We did 1969 on Aug 5. The first half of the 70s have been more scarce than the 60s. We haven't visited any year between 1970 and '74 since late June or longer.

I'm guessing DC would like '60s to be a once-a-month "Treat". And to be a total 10@10 history-geek, I'll note that there was a period in the Morey era where only '68 and '69 were allowed and they each came up once a month. Towards the end of his tenure, the target demo shifted and he was permittted to do '67 and even '66 occasionally. He even did a couple of '60s Vertical tastings, which were quite a delightful shock. Then when AL took over, we were back to getting a '60s set virtually every week, and '65 reappeared, as did '64 (briefly).
ETA: it would appear Marvin & Tammi are a given, what with Mr Ashford's passing.

Well, it's not Ball and Chain, and yes, it's a frequent flyer, but you can't have too much Janis!
Piece of My Heart!
-
apologies to geoff, but I probably never need to hear "Piece of My Heart" again. Here's hoping we go a little deeper as the set wears on.

HM, Janis.

I nearly plotzed when I saw some of the FB requests.
(Beatles - Hey Jude?, Steppenwolf, Born to be Wild?)

I wasn't going to mention any names, but yeah!

Obligatory BOS (until something better comes along) for Black Magic Woman. I wonder how many fogheads know this is the original.

Oh well. But as bad choices go, this aint that bad. It is just overplayed, not awful. Maybe I just break out loud with the nananana's and "amuse" my cow-orkers. All the bosses are out of the office.

I'm playing it out loud for my cow-orkers, at their request!

Another frequent flier with Otis. Great song, I just wish for more depth!

VHM, Otis and another overplayed but lovely classic.
ETA: I always enjoy listening to this with headphones (as I do at work). Cool, subtle little embellishments deep in the in the background.

It's all good. VHM Otis.

wow, we're REALLY hitting the overexposed classics... This is like a Drive 10@10.

BOS2 Ree-Ree.

BOS3, "Say A Little Prayer". But I could argue that this is overexposed too. I don't think AL is allowed to go too deep in the early year sets.
"Only play songs that our target audience might recognize."

Interesting, it's a 60's set and it's an old folks home in the old clubhouse. Could be the others are otherwise occupied.

I think some of us were camping out on FB trying to find ways to be snarky without being too offensive -- at least I was!

Either that, or they're politely repulsed, and not slagging the dinosaur music!

I love the 60s! I'm actually getting sick of KFOG's version the 80s, to be quite honest...

I tend to have this page and AL's FB open simultaneously (and often post the same comments both places). I get to use the jokes i've over-used here for the first time over there, and suddenly I'm a comic genius.

Is it my imagination, or is their version of the '80s very alt-rock heavy, to the exclusion of, say, Journey? (which is certainly not a bad idea, actually)

No, that's not your imagination (running away with you), that's it exactly.

There needs to be a course entitled "How To Be Snarky Without Being Snarky".

In many ways this set was exactly what I feared it to be: Our token pre-1985 ride for the pay period, but without much in the way of scratching below the surface.
You will obey our overlords, we do not want our listeners to be challenged. Stay between the lines!

BOS Moodies, when they kicked ass!
yes, they're a favorite of mine, too. In Search Of The Lost Chord was the first one I got, on cassette.
I made a comment on FB saying "Yay for the Moody's ponderous heaviosity" - I mean, I KNOW they're a little silly at times, but I diggem.
(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RP-7rhkOww0/RsRmC-6qQaI/AAAAAAAAAEU/gq6a2fMeCo0/s320/moody.JPG)
"Yeah, we're badass. ... Hey, anyone seen my flute and tambourine?"

Always a fave here as well, got all their '60s&70s LPs. Saw 'em in '81 and again in '09 at the Fox Oakland:

I like the 60's, especially Soul Patrol. But this is too overplayed, as many of you pointed out.
Most over-exposed: Piece of my Heart, Jude, Dock of the Bay
The last one left permanent burns on my ears as part of the horror that was the SF Giants set last fall. OUCH.

I'm offended at the "new" 80's we're getting. How many times can you play The Call, "Let the day begin"? Or all the obvious hits from INXS? TFF?
For 80's, I want early Metallica, DKs, Violent Femmes, Erasure, Alphaville, Young Fresh Fellows, Run DMC, etc.
Every set should have about 20% "NTM" songs!

Dittoes. And it's interesting how many "younger" Fogheads are critical of the new music mix, both inside and outside of 10@10. As I noted in the "KFOG but not 10@10" thread, not only did we get a '68 set yesterday (weak as it may have been), but AL played another Beatle tune later in her shift ("Two of Us") *and* played the Beach Boys as her vinyl cut at 3:00. That's more '60s than they've played in a month. So either they're getting feedback from the younger demo saying "hey, we don't HATE everything pre-1978" or else DC is on vacay this week. (I have yet to get a reply to my email so maybe it's the latter.)
