I guess I just expect more from AL than I did from RR, and falling back on multiple "old standbys" repeatedly is a tad disappointing to me, given what an astounding year 1969 is. I realize "the kids" in the KFOG core demo haven't heard "Na Na Hey Hey" 8 million times... but I have.
You've hit the nail on the head.
There does seem to be some effort to pick songs that haven't been over-played on 10@10, but
for the most part little fresh ground is being broken. I thought AL's re-inaugeral 1971 set was
outstanding, but that level hasn't been hit since then. The tyranny of high expectations, I guess.
I suspect it would be fairly easy to construct an all "big name bust-out" 10@10 for a year like 1969,
and just a couple would be a welcome addition to any set.
