4 Jan 2016: it's... 1981
« on: January 02, 2016, 11:50:10 AM »
"Raiders are Super Bowl champs in the year Serena Williams was born" sez the promo. At least they won't be pre-empting 10@10 during A-to-Z, as they did one time during the DC era, so there's that. But Tues morning is the big Bottle Rock lineup announcement, so a shameless self-promotional set that day is a possibility.

And we start with... "Abacab". Anyone know if they played this in A-to-Z earlier?

Coincidentally, 1981 was the answer on the Pop Quiz at 8:15...

At first I thought this was an anomaly in the alphabet sequence, but now I remember that album being huge in 81. Probably huger in 82.

Interesting that the set kicks off with back-to-back hits by reinvented British prog bands.

I was going to say Echo & the Bunnymen, but indeed, it was the Cure.
