He did for the Fri 13 in May. So I'm assuming he will again. And MLK on Monday.

Well, the "Hit" designation may be a stretch for some of these, but Britney's "Satisfaction" certainly is egregious.

And Mr. Rachmaninoff would be most put off to hear that "All By Myself" is a HfH.

Rock fans tend to hate slow ballads (except for power ballads) and aren't interested in differentiating between good ballads and icky ones, so this one has always been on a lot of folks' HFH lists, sadly.

I see 3 repeats from May's set which seems unnecessary to me. Plenty of potential awful songs out there. I don't receive the Soundwaves emails -- did he solicit suggestions for this set? Were that many folks clamoring to hear "Afternoon Delight" for the umpteenth time?

I figured there would be some Rasperries apologists comments here.

"Seasons in the Sun" is mostly a sledgehammer for me.  I can see myself in 73-74 sorting mail in the middle of the night at Rincon Annex.

I get the emails, but never read them carefully enough to see if DW was requesting any input. I kind of ignore them because they link to the Mixcloud site which doesn't have the setlist included.
