someone on FB says RR posted a clue that points to either '81 or '82 but I'm not seeing it on the KFOG page.
ETA: well, whoever it was they were wrong. It's '84. BOS1 Brooooce, "Cover Me" -- written for Donna Summer, who turned it down.

Not a bad way to start - and would fit the profile of "hit at the time, not played so much anymore".

indeed -- as FP said on FB, "at least it's not "Dancing in the dark"
but uber-LN1: the Cars.
-
VHM "Tenderness".
-
BOS1 Bruce.
BOS2 The Cars not sounding like The Cars, though "Heartbeat City" needs to appear in 10@10 & I know it's on DC's list...
LN1 General Public
BOS3 Echo/Bunnymen
-
BOS2 Echo, "Killing Moon". Another song you won't hear anywhere else these days.

The Cars tune is WAAAAY more LN than "Tenderness"...
-
VHM Pretenders, greatly improving a rather awful song. Cute segue there (Bush/Ferraro --> "thin line Betw Love & hate"), assuming it was intentional.
-
BOS for Chrissie singing about the Thin Line.

I think there was a hint on the KFOG FB page that we'd be going to the year that Apple produced its first personal computer, which would have been 81 or 80 (I think). However, I'm guessing what the KFOG dipsh*ts intended is the year that Apple intro'd the Macintosh. Which was 84.

Sledgehammer-wise, possibly, but Tenderness is one of the biggest AL 'trinas ever. She played it 6x in two years (technically 5x + 1 repeat).

Let's give them the benefit of the doubt here.
Proxy of Geoff for Thompson Twins, LN though it may be.

I think that clue was subsequently deleted -- unsurprisingly.
LN2: "Hold Me Now"
-
Hold my [fill in the blank]
-
LN3 "Blue Jean".
It seems that we're actually hearing songs in the year they peaked, chart-wise, lately.
-
LN4: U2.
BOS3 Alphaville, "Big in Japan". or "Big in My Pants" as we used to joke.

It probably was. As blah as the music selection & delivery often is in the RR era, "Icky" is the one that seems to be consistently delivering.
-
DHM to the Pretenders. LN22U2.
OMG...Uber BOS4 to Alphaville! This is one that I've often requested in the AL era to no avail.

wow, Dave never played it either -- an actual bustout, much to my amazement.
LN5: Tina -- there are tracks on this LP I would've preferred. or one of her fab B-sides from the period.

This is one that escaped my attention back when it was a current. I first came to know the phrase "Big in Japan" as the title of a Tom Waits song, but that came a good 15 years after this one.
Love Tina, but What's Love is another LN, imo. Wish they'd dig a little deeper into Private Dancer.

2. The Cars - Drive
3. General Public - Tenderness
(News: Miss America - Vanessa Williams nude pics.)

5. The Pretenders - A Thin Line Between Love And Hate
6. The Thompson Twins - Hold Me Now

didn't do much on the Pop chart but alt-radio on the East Coast played it to death.

so, tomorrow... I'm hoping for a '60s year but more likely a 2nd 90s visit.
