Tue 12/6/11: 1971

a mostly forgettable (family) affair: Sly, badfinger, Zep, Who... I mean, "American Pie", Rob? really??

But kudos on Dylan's "George Jackson" and of course J&Y whippin' some Xmas on ya.

ETA: caught the replay just for the Dylan tune -- Rob even played the right version. Highlight of the week so far.

U2, Floyd, Yes (eeek) -- but BOSes the Smiths ("Stop me..."), Broooce ("Spare Parts") and the always-fab Bangles.

a tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies: what is Michael Stipe's obsession with the initials L.B. ? Seriously, I never got that.

eeek2: Foreigner say they will. I say I won't.

Hee. They're similar to KFOG in many ways and they skew a tad older, so their 10@10 uses the pre-DC rotation of a '60s, '70s, '80s and '90s set each week with the 5th slot either a 2nd '70s or '2nd '80s.  But yeah, their '90s sets are very DC-ish.  Meaning even less discernable pop hits than AL might feature..
