I think we all agree that segue makes up for all the lameass trivia questions this week.

Woo Hoo, Nick Drake, an artist Dave has not managed to get into my Db, has anyone recollected hearing this on KFOG at all?

It's the kind of thing that Rosalie would include in Acoustic Sunrise, but I can't say I've ever heard it--then again, I don't listen to AS that regularly.

Never; and this may be a quibble, but playing a song/LP that NEVER got airplay at the time simply because the artist is now well-known is kinda cheating, IMHO.  (Mr. Drake went completely unnoticed by even the most progressive of progressive FMs back then, afaik.) KBCO seems to do this most often -- we heard a Sarah McLaughlin song in an '89 set the other day, for example.

10-way tie, the 'Oo!

You know where to put the cork...

mclachlan! isn't it?

Thanks, all, for ID'ing the Nick Drake, which I'd never heard.  Indeed, I'd never heard of him at all before the ad (what product was it, Apple?) that launched his critical resurgence.

I'd agree in general, but unless you've access to the local playlists of that time it's kind of hard to say that Nick was never heard in greater Denver.  Bob is always mentioning Chicago playlists & has more than once claimed significant local success for bands that otherwise remain obscure to this day.

Volkswagen I think, Pink Moon was the song. They were responsible for a good bit of the Polyphonic Spree's coming to the public's awareness, too. No one said ad execs can't have good taste.
