OMG, that's horrible. It makes KFOG's 90's sets seem positively revolutionary. I guess there's some pop in there that AL doesn't play, which might enliven those sets a bit. Still, ewww.

indeed -- I've requested the Meat Loaf from AL a couple times, and Whitney H or Mariah C would actually be quite welcome some morning. But the rest -- yeesh and sheesh.

1985

DC's favorite year!

You sure about that, RG? 1986 has to be up there, too. I'm giving 3-1 odds that you've already compiled a statistical analysis of the AD era along the lines of 1985 repeats once every 17.4 days and '86 once every 19.2.

That was just a reference to that recent period where we heard '85 FOUR TIMES in 6 weeks or something.
