IIRC, the last few have been 2012 (mid-year, beginning of DC’s “new” KFOG), 2009, and 2008 (each at the beginning of the year)...so we’re long overdue. 2012 was my favorite since DC threw in a bunch of songs that weren’t ones you usually hear anymore (i.e. New Radicals “Someday We’ll Know,” The Blessing “Delta Rain,” Eurogliders “Heaven”) & was new-wave heavy. 2008 was also good and pretty extensive. 2009 felt rushed.
So far, this one’s been kind of “meh” IMO, with the rarest tracks being moderately popular 10@10 tracks. We got through the As a little too quickly, too. Still, I welcome the return of A-Z. It will be nice to hear the most overplayed songs only a maximum of one time each for the next week or so.
My favorite A-Z I’ve listened to on any station was 91X in 2005, right after they were forced to defect from Clear Channel. They literally played hundreds of classic alternative hits...and it was the first time (and in some cases, the only time) I’ve heard many of them on the radio.
