I hate to be negative on AL's wall for many reasons, the most obvious of which is that we learned from 2012-2014 that the 10@10 host is under no obligation to let listeners participate via social media, so this is my hopefully subtle protest at the staleness of today's set:

"Beasties BOS by 100,000 frequent flier miles"

No musical variety in this '87 set, no?

Next to none, but the Beasties counts as rap or at least rock/rap, so there's that.

Beasties' Fight for Your Right BOS by default

Well, ok, but this is like playing Springsteen to placate Snipeland.

I don't get it.

Granted, "You Gotta Fite" probably hasn't been played as much as it seems, but just seems kind of token. Probably just me.

How about playing something else from Licensed To Ill?  I would have chosen "Girls"...  :)

No, you're right. I think the "by default" part from me is just because it's the only song representing one of the many other popular genres from the time that get no play.

I like The New Style myself.

Was the Snipers' reaction similarly negative?

It was split - I was amongst the more disillusioned, but there were some that didn't seem to mind so much. I'll probably warm up given time... often these shows work like a good sitcom, and seem better the nth time around.

Non-snipe JF, of course, thought it was the most wonderful thing ever produced.

Broadcast News ---> Icehouse "Crazy"

I've said it before, but this really sounds like movie soundtrack music.
