Oh no, a top of the hour snoozer.  WOS for Santana's "Yawning".

indeed -- I never hated this one, as I like Russ Ballard (would love his original in a '77 set), but it's a Moreytrina of the first order.  Feels like we just did '81 but it's been 6 weeks.

Hold on tight to your 'trinas! accochez-toi, or something.

WOS1 "Whining."  WOS2 "Hold on Tight."  Things can only get better.

i agree...  When I hear French now I think of Haiti, which makes the refrain both poignant and cutting

Better, but only slightly. Is it just me, or has ELO been appearing in a LOT of 10@10s lately--across the board, not just KFOG?

yes, absolutely.*

I was hoping for Vangelis after that film clip -- "Chariots of Fire" would've been infinitely preferable to Moodies-past-their-prime.

* - ETA: it's ELO's 4th or 5th appearance in the past week

His mind is not for rent, and Mike will give him a WOS.

WOS3 to Rush.  This is making a case for Worst Set Ever.

It must be me--at least as far as KFOG is concerned. That was the first ELO song we've heard from AL in 2010. She's played the Moodies more. However, I think the various other 10@10s we track here have been hitting them hard.

Well, I'll give "Tom Sawyer" a BOS to balance it out.  I still love Moving Pictures.  But I have to play it when my wife is out of the house, 'cause she can't stand Geddy Lee's voice.

See I bet Tinka & PoC & I (ETA: and Dave) would all say the set was redeemed a bit by "Tom Sawyer", but for some of you guys it just bottomed out.
