haven 't heard clues today.
wow: early-'70s twice in less than a week!
Jo Jo Gunne says Runne Runne Runne!
-
TOTHK - Jo Jo Gunne "Run Run Run" - 1972
-
David Bowie "Starman"
-
I love "Starman", you love "Starman", we all love "Starman" but it's still a bit LN in the general scheme of things. VHM.
-
Elton John "Rocket Man"
-
Oy: "Rocket Man"? Really? uber-uber-LN2. Renee's idea of a clever segue, I guess.
-
Todd Rundgren "I Saw The Light"
-
What's UpDoc? -- a movie that amazingly, I've never seen.
Todd is Godd, but "I Saw the Light", great as it is, is LN3.
-
BOS "What's Up Doc?" & Todd.
-
Looking Glass "Brandy (You're A Fine Girl)"
-
Jeezus H Christ on a cracker: "Brandy", the uber-LN-iest of '72 LNs.
-
Rod Stewart "You Wear It Well"
-
"Hard Luck Woman" "You Wear LNs Well"
-
Bonnie Raitt "Love Has No Pride"
-

Agree on ISTL. Love it, but heard it lots. Particularly since Something/Anything has a number of other good tunes they could pull from. Couldn't I Just Tell You is a superb power pop song, or It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference, or Black Maria, or even Song of the Viking. This set seems to be another cribbed from the Book of Morey.
You really should try to see What's Up Doc some time. Sort of a Woody Allen knock off--written by Buck Henry, and you even get Madeleine Kahn. Wacky rom-com hijinks, Babs, Ryan O'Neal, and lots of scenes in and around SF. Oh, and iirc, Cyril Magnin has a walk-on as the Pope.
-
and here's yer Raity o' the Day: Bonnie Raitt's version of "Love Has No Pride". BOS, easily.
-
The O'Jays "Back Stabbers"
-
Whut dey DO? Dey playin' another overexposed oldie, dat's whut.
-
Paul Simon "Peace Like A River"
-
Nixon in China.
Holee crap: uber-uber-BOS2 "Peace Like a River". Tho' I note it is a DC fave, he sprinkles it in very occasionally as an "oh wow" song.
-
The Moody Blues "Isn't Life Strange"
-
BOS3 and proxy of Shray, Moodies "Isn't Life Strange?"
-
BOS3 and proxy of Shray, Moodies "Isn't Life Strange?"
A few decent rarities today, but I think this one may be the only bustout. Not in the Shraytabase--any one remember if AL pulled it out?
-
Stupid day and time for a project status meeting. >:( Seems like I've missed a pretty good set here, a mix of LNs and with some rarities mixed in for spice.
BOS, the Moodys.
-
so, 3 more-than-decent rarities and 7 LNs direct from some "Classic Hits" station's playlist.
-
Jeezus H Christ on a cracker: "Brandy", the uber-LN-iest of '72 LNs.
This is one I never need hear again. Or at least not for a long time...

How does Renee know what the Jersey Shore sound ca. '72 would sound like?

she got that directly from Looking Glass' wiki entry:

I'd've never pegged them as part of that, but they're from New Brunswick, apparently.
-
OMG, I left it playing whilst working, and heard the Cure, and thought I was still stuck in some Renee 80's time warp 10@10!
-
Per Renee: Moody Blues BOS, Looking Glass VHM
-
1. Jo Jo Gunne - Run Run Run
2. David Bowie - Starman
3. Elton John - Rocket Man
(Movie: What's Up, Doc?)
4. Todd Rundgren - I Saw The Light
5. Looking Glass - Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)
(Commercial - Calgon's "Ancient Chinese Secret")
6. Rod Stewart - You Wear It Well
7. Bonnie Raitt - Love Has No Pride
8. O'Jays - Back Stabber
(News - Nixon in China)
9. Paul Simon - Peace Like A River
10. Moody Blues - Isn't Life Strange?
For once I agree with the FB gripers: a deep track from Exile on Main St woulda killed. For that matter, so would the Osmonds.

TANC: I was just in Walgreens -- "Brandy" is playing. I think we have a good LN argument for any song that plays on a Walgreens sound system. "Rocket Man" would almost certainly fit that bill, and perhaps "You Wear It Well". Not sure any of the other tunes make the Walgreens rotation.

My alternate 1972 playlist:
1. The Rolling Stones - Rip This Joint
2. Dave Edmunds - It Ain't Easy
3. Elton John - I Think I'm Going To Kill Myself
4. Todd Rundgren - The Night The Carousel Burnt Down
5. Dennis Coffey And The Detroit Guitar Band - Scorpio
6. J. Geils Band - Looking For A Love
7. Carole King - Sweet Seasons
8. Al Green - For The Good Times
9. Chicago - State Of The Union
10. The Temptations - Papa Was A Rollin' Stone (full-length album version)
-
An alternative alternate list:
1. Deep Purple - Space Truckin
2. Humble Pie - C'mon Everybody
3. J Geils - Serves You Right to Suffer
4. Jethro Tull - A Song For Jeffrey
(here we need a clip encouraging people to sing along, perhaps a micth miller soundbite -- then play three instrumentals in a row)
5. Allman Brothers - Little Martha
6. The Edgar Winter Group - Frankenstein (super hit 6 6 6)
7. Roy Buchanan - The Messiah Will Come Again
8. Blue Oyster Cult - Then Came the Last Days of May
9. Niel Young - The Needle and the Damage Done
10. David Bowie - Rock 'n' Roll Suicide
-
The Temptations - Papa Was A Rollin' Stone (full-length album version)
Someplace a radical DJ is contemplating George Michael's medley cover of Seal's "Killer" and the Tempations' "Papa Was A Rollin' Stone", the full eleven minute version, for a 1993 set. I'm betting it won't be this station.

Nice segue there, Rod, for those last two.

I'd've never pegged them as part of that, but they're from New Brunswick, apparently.
Or as my Mom says, "the guys from Rutgers."
I've never been a Jersey shore resident, but I did live just a couple of
counties away. (You probably saw the pictures after Hurricane Sandy of
the roller coaster that was swept into the ocean. That's where my
parents took the family every summer.) I've never heard of the so-called
"Jersey Shore sound." A quick web search indicates to me the concept is
somewhat sketchy, perhaps little more than the invention of a wikipedia
contributor. Although I'm not familiar with all of them, I don't see
much of a unifying sound among the bands listed as being examples of
this genre. To me it's just another example that Renee is getting her
musicology lessons on the fly by looking things up on the Internet. Sigh.
