The formula is 2 '80's, 2 '70's, and 1 from '67-'69/'90-'03 every week. Look at the last few weeks. If there's a theme set, one of the '80's drops out.

This has already been deduced, but I'll point out again that pop/soft rock fills in the gap in years prior to the defining of KFOG's AAA format.

Middle of the Road is a 1984 song playing right before a 1984 10 at 10? Now that there is just wrong.

ETA: I guess the single was released in late '83.

Ferraro accepts nomination --> Scandal, "The Wah-wee-uh". LN1 from me, tho' I suspect we probably haven't heard it in a while.

Thompson Twins, You Take Me Up

These first 3 songs fall right in line with the recent 10 at 10 easy listenin' trend.

R.E.M., Harborcoat

Great song, brings back a lot of memories. We do seem to hear a track from Reckoning in every '84 set, though.
