I guess the worst thing you can say about AL's '60s sets is that they skew toward pop.  (She needs to raid her brother's record collection...)

And to be fair, most of my requests from that era are cribbed from the Billboard Charts (hey, this which I've never heard of went to #6, why not play it?).
to which I would add: the pop charts, and Top 40 radio, were VERY interesting at the time, they were really all-over-the-map musically.

Yep, but we don't usually see that diversity in a 10@10 show.  I don't necessarily have a problem
with the pop, but another great way to go in '60s sets is with harder/heavier rock, and there's
obviously a lot of potential there.

It's hard not to like a '67 set, and I did like this one for the most part, but they always seem a little touristy.  I'd love to hear something that took me back to the days of KMPX.
