Post by: Big Fingers McGee on February 15, 2013, 08:26:51 AM
The year Hagar The Horrible made its debut. Of course, this could also mean the year Sammy Hagar released his first solo album.

It's one thing to repeat in say, a 1997 set, but not for an early 70's year.

The problem is in the "Costco-ization" of music, is that as time goes by, programmers see less and less in each older year, even if the year was chock-a-block with great music.

I think both Dave and Annalisa used this clip in their eras; I'd call it as egregious a FF as anything else we've heard, if not moreso.

She has moved on from the price of gas - I'll give her that. Instead, she's blindly defending repeating songs from previous sets.

From her response to my post on KFOG's page:

I don't recall the last 73 I did, sorry, but the song is pretty great so there's that. From Wiki: "Love, Reign o'er Me" is a song by English rock band The Who. Written by guitarist and songwriter Pete Townshend, it was released on 23 October 1973.

Since it's Friday, here's an alternative 1973 playlist:

 1. Fred Wesley & The J.B.'s - Doing It To Death
 2. Ringo Starr - Have You Seen My Baby
 3. John Prine - Dear Abby
 4. Paul McCartney & Wings - Single Pigeon
 5. Four Tops - Are You Man Enough
 6. George Harrison - Who Can See It
 7. Carole King - Been To Canaan
 8. John Lennon - Out The Blue
 9. Roy Ayers Ubiquity - Brother Louie

Track 10 could be any of the following:

10a. Lamont Dozier - Fish Ain't Bitin'
10b. Billy Joel - Captain Jack
10c. Brighter Side Of Darkness - Love Jones / Cheech & Chong - Basketball Jones (megamix, like DM used to make 'em)

depending on how adventurous you want to get.  :D

Would any of the above would be DC/RR approved?  ::)

Fabulous stuff, cap'n.  "Fish Ain't Bitin'" (one of my all-time faves) charted in '74 but of course Renee would probably play it in '73 anyway.

in a word, NO.  Well, actually I can see the 4 Tops tune making it (I think Dave played it once or twice; ditto "Doin it to Death" and "Basketball Jones").  And AL would've done her damndest to sneak in "Dear Abby" right after Ms Van Buren's death. 

I just heard "Been to Canaan" on the Peak's 10@10 recently and I know they've played "Captain Jack" too which is a very NY-centric tune.

Here is another 1973 playlist I made in December (the time Renee last visited that year):

 1. The Chi-Lites - Stoned Out Of My Mind
 2. Michael Nesmith - Some Of Shelley's Blues
 3. Gladys Knight & The Pips - Daddy Could Swear, I Declare
 4. Gunhill Road - Back When My Hair Was Short
 5. Spinners - One Of A Kind (Love Affair)
 6. Cross Country - In The Midnight Hour
 7. The O'Jays - Time To Get Down
 8. Tom Jones - Letter To Lucille
 9. New York City - I'm Doin' Fine Now
10. Badfinger - Timeless
11. Donny Hathaway - Love, Love, Love (bonus track)

This had more a Soul Patrol feel to it...
