KFOG A-to-Z 2015

Dunno how much action this thread will see, but here it is.

Heard the first 45 mins today, they started with "a" songs ("A Girl...", "A Long..." etc). In that first 45 mins, the oldest song I heard was Romeo Void "A Girl in Trouble". I suspect this will be the rule throughout -- very little '60s or '70s.

Already Gone! Love yer '70's!

"AG" is very much a consultant-approved oldie, so not a surprise. I heard it on The Bone over the weekend, in fact.

American Woman: If only '90's (Kravitz) were '60's (Jan. '70). Not that AW is The Guess Who's finest moment, but Kravitz's version is an F/F on the good/necessary covers scale.

Fully concur.

As mentioned on FB, I don't really mind the A to Z, as long as it's not done too often (once a year seems appropriate).

I've always enjoyed it, esp when they've done a really long one (10-12 days worth); those "let's get it all done in exactly a week" ones, notsomuch. But with '60s and '70s cut way back, I'll be surprised if this goes more than 8 days.

The worst is when it starts out as if it's going to be exhaustive, but then it appears somebody realizes how long it'll take, and it suddenly accelerates. If somehow they could stretch it out to the Super Bowl....

How do they pick the songs? It can't just be songs in the rotation right now, can it?

[Here'sToYa!]

I've heard the Hooters twice in an hour: All You Zombies plus And We Danced. Hopefully, they're done now.

Will have to play it Day By Day.

it's always been a combination of "Foghead Faves", songs that make them look cool for playing them, songs that hit the target demos, and (more recently) songs that usually appear only on 10@10.  This morning I heard Duran² "A View to a Kill", which I can't recall ever coming up outside of 10@10.

I'm hearing plenty of '70's: Angie and (The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes double shot, Another Brick in the Wall and Another One Bites the Dust double shot, Another Tricky Day. Any Way You Want It is on the way. Love My KFOG A-Z! (Some of these songs are '80 or '81, I know)

OK, I guess it was just a function of how the alphabet fell.  I'm thinking of A-Z's past, where it seemed like every other song was a deep Steely Dan LP cut. Those days, I'd wager. are gone.

Oh, those '70's. Yeah, we're not gonna hear any of that. Speaking of gonna, Are You Gonna Be My Girl? Are You Gonna Go My Way? Love my '70's retro!
