I knew it! I was totally having this internal conversation about what Annalisa would do on her first day back, or if she might even be doing one more classic before she settles in.  And then it hit me, the easiest set to do is probably these Chartbusters, no cips in between, find a list somewhere, take about 20 minutes to pull together, tops.

(y'all'll just have to take my word for it, but I even had the 80's pegged)

Makes sense to me.

This Journey tune can't end quickly enough, though.  Uber-WOS.

She hasn't done as many '80s Chartbusters as she has '60s & '70s, so I shouldn't complain -- but with Journey being followed by MAW...  hope this improves rapidly.

Yep, totally by the numbers with Men Not Working Very Hard in the 3rd spot.

Amen to that. My dislike for MAW is well documented.

Men Without Hats. Somewhat of an improvement. At least it doesn't grate so badly.

And it's the Extended (Safety) Dance Remix.  Though I'd have to say it doesn't improve the experience.  I like SD, but it really should remain a compact little cheeze kernel.

I'll actually give "Safety Dance" a VHM -- not one that was overplayed by Dave.

I had those thoughts while out on a quick run to Safeway & back before 10, and since KFOG had a string of commercials I had flipped to 103.7 The Band, which upon flipping treated me to the guitar solo in "Magic Man".  And I was thinking about that list sometime back of Worst Guitar Solos (in which it was somewhere in the middle), and thinking that there had to be a whole helluva lot of worse ones than that.  

And "Who's Crying Now" is surely one!
