Title: 19 Oct 2012: it's... 1970
Post by: RGMike on October 19, 2012, 09:39:44 AM
a '60s Friday? or a 2nd '90s set this week?

ETA: the clue is "the Partridge Family had a #1 single" -- and "I Think I Lurve You" straddled Dec '70/Jan '71.

and it's '70. With Rosalie subbing again.

Yay, 1970, BOS, the Mighty Zep, though I am not a big fan of the wailing.  Great guitar solo saves the day.

Yeah. Love it but pretty LN. One of the acoustic numbers from LZ III woulda been nice.

Indeed -- LN4. The Drive did '69 today and I said the same about "I Want You Back". Their first 6 hits are all LNs except for "Mama's Pearl".

or any of his early solo numbers -- i requested "I Wanna Be Where You Are" from AL many times to no avail.

nice surprise: "El Condor Pasa". BOS for the only semi-rarity we're gonna get, probably.

I'll give a BOS for Chicago. Anything not sung by Peter Cetera is pretty much a rarity these days.

somehow it doesn't feel as overexposed as Shocking Blue or Sugarloaf, tho' it probably is.

WOS Tempts, one of my least-favorite tracks of theirs. Whereas "Cloud Nine" and "Runaway Child" felt like genuine explorations of social issues, this seems completely synthetic to me.

it's the "Ballet for a Girl..." ending. Sounds like some weird record-company edit made for rock stations that didn't want to play the single but didn't want the whole LP-side either.

Renee's been off the past 2 days and Rosalie subbed. Apparently the new 10@10 model means anyone can fill in since DC is picking the songs anyway.

Does that mean we'll get classics when DC goes on vacay?
