Well, I see several of what would be bustouts if this were an AL set.  But that doesn't mean I'm sorry I missed it.   In fact I would guess that those who miss 10@10 the most (i.e., older disenfranchised Fogheads) are probably folks who'd be happy never to hear an '00s set ever again, and who would love this version to go back to 1964 at the very least.

I enjoyed several of the first-timers/rarities in this set (Soggy Bottom Boys, George Strait, Gorillaz) but yeah, I don't see much reason to visit the 2000s very often. I'd like it if they came up about as often as the 60s used to in the last year or so of AL's tenure at KFOG (that is, once every month or two) and the 60s sets (back to 64 or earlier, as you suggest) were given the frequency we used to see for 2000 and later sets (once a week or, considering they're doing  just 3 sets a week, every other week at the minimum).

#10 is kind of snoozy to end the set, but I really liked the Gorillas song & the NSYNC one which was huge but I rarely hear anymore.

Also, I disagree with the previous comments, in that I'd actually like to hear more 2000s sets. IIRC we definitely didn't get them once a week before...it was closer to once a month. Going about 10 years back seems like a good rule of thumb.

2000 sets could be interesting, but the problem is that most of the songs used (at least KFOG's) 10@10s are still in heavy rotation.  If some lesser exposed hits / deeper cuts were used, I think it could work out.

100% agreed. I’d prefer the 2000 sets to feature songs that aren’t commonly heard on KFOG or other stations. Songs that were big hits but not big recurrents would be ideal. For that matter, I’d prefer all sets to be like this, but of course it’s easier for the pre-90s sets.

As I've opined many a time, the move forward in time is inevitable, but that doesn't mean the newer sets have to be dumbed down. Quite the opposite in fact.
