The Peak, 9/15/09: 1964

[RGMike]

It's been a hard night's day.

But we've been havin' fun all summer long!

This is Rob's first visit to '64, if I'm not mistaken.

Animals House Of The Rising Sun
Marvin Gaye How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You
Bob Dylan It Ain't Me Babe
Roy Orbison Oh, Pretty Woman

DAMN! I just missed hearing the orig Gloria Jones version of "Tainted Love"!  Nice job, Rob.

I wonder if the Peak is paying attention to the fact that Annalisa is now regularly going back to 1964-66, where Dave went only most rarely.

I don't know if what AL does affects Rob's choices, but I do know that the new PPM (PeopleMeter^TM) Technology they're using to measure ratings is giving a boost to mass-appeal, older-skewing stations because those are the stations that tend to get played in stores, delis and offices.  In NYC recently, the top 3 stations were WLTW ("lite rock"), WCBS-FM (oldies) and Q-104 (classic rock) -- arguably the 3 oldest-skewing stations in Noo Yawk. So appealing to boomers has its perks, even if ad agencies prefer younger demos.  And this helps explain why KKSF became "The Band".
