I admittedly have crankypants on today, but I'll note that Bob's sets are all too often indistinguishable from the Drive's everyday fare.  F'rex: "My My, Hey Hey."

Bob thanks God that "My Sharona" ended a year of No. 1s that were either disco or ballads.  As if disco and balladry were bad things.  I know, he's pandering to a RAWK crowd, but still ... sigh.

 indeed, this set gets a big "meh" from me.

BOS to "No Time to Lose," since the other 9 tracks show up anywhere anytime on classic-rock radio.

Tomorrow may be promising, though: Bob's taking us to 1970.  One might expect Santana and Le Co-Kair.
