Title: 6 Aug 2013: it's... 1979
Post by: RGMike on August 06, 2013, 09:05:18 AM
no promo so far today. (yesterday's aired in the 6am hour)  I suspect we're in for '80s today.

ETA: nice to be wrong!  '79 kicks off with the fantabulous "Stop Your Sobbing" uber-BOS1.

Jimmeh C looks to the 21stCentury.  It don't look good  -- great segue to "Highway to Hell." Heh.  BOS2 just because.

Michigan State is #1 -- uh, so?

Chic order clams on the half-a-shell. And roller skates, roller skates.  I'd've preferred a more rare disco track, but there seems to be an effort to play at least one pop nugget per set in years like this, so OK.

To my ears this set was a mess, with a high LN quotient (LNQ).  At best, it rose to bland
and inoffensive.

I like that.  Each song could have a max rating of 10, for very unnecessary, and a low of 0.  Then total.  This set, off the top of my head, at least 60.

I never need to hear "Cruel to be Kind" ever again.  Or "I Want You to Want Me."

Would this be a descendant of the Good/Necessary ratings? I would add "What A Fool Believes" to the never-need-to-hear-again roster.

agreed on all of the above.  I was actually surprised this one got a pass from the g-snipes, whith people gushing about the Nick Lowe, for example.
