14 March 2011: it's... 1988
« on: March 12, 2011, 07:19:23 PM »
the suggestion thread is up early, kids -- and we've already got requests for "Wishing Well" and "Sweet Child O'Mine" (!?!). Help stamp out Katrinas!

ETA: Bless you Swellegant Tim for reading my mind and noting that "WW" needs to be retired! (and for requesting "Little Walter" by Tony Toni Tone  -- I was thisclose to asking for it myself).

My suggestions:

Gladys/Pips, "Love Overboard"
Debbie Harry, "Liar Liar"
Kylie Minogue, "I Should Be So Lucky"
Lita Ford, "Kiss Me Deadly"

Nice requests, fellas!  Especially loved Domino Dancing.  All day, all day!

I suggested some UK indie faves:  Crash by The Primitives & Christine by The House Of Love.  Was gonna ask for Loosey's Rap by Rick James and Roxanne Shante, but figured it would be waaaay too WTF for KFOG.

Y&S: we've also got people asking for "Roll With It" and Cheap Trick's "The Flame" (*shudder*)

Wouldn't "The Flame" violate 10@10's implicit "No Diane Warren Ever" rule?

Sadly, that ship has sailed: "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" and "If I Could Turn Back Time" have both made appearances. And I'd give dispensation for "Rhythm of the Night" by DeBarge

ETA: per Wiki, Warren didn't write "The Flame", tho' it's crappy enuf to have been one of hers.

Just checked AMG to see who *did* write it (Nick Graham and Robert Mitchell), and learned that while Diane Warren did not write this song, she did co-write another song that appears on the same album: Ghost Town, with Rick Nielsen.
