« on: August 15, 2011, 07:46:33 AM »
Mon 8/15/11: 1979

cruel to start with "Cruel", Bob. Don't do me like that, indeed.

Greetings (and BOS) Tim the Enchanter! Even tho ...Holy Grail came out in '75.

VHM Poco's "Heart of the Night"; WOS STYX, on borrowed time

BOS2 "London Calling"; VHM Ms Benatar.

Johnny Rotten! Rotten Johnny! BOS3 Neil and the less-often-heard "Hey Hey My My (Into the Black)"

No time, Toulouse!

Sorry, BadCo: my "RnR Fantasy" involves Henry Rollins and a tub of CoolWhip.

Nick Lowe - Cruel To Be Kind 
Tom Petty - Don't Do Me Like That 
Poco - Heart Of The Night 
Styx - Borrowed Time 
Clash - London Calling 
Pat Benatar - Heartbreaker   
Neil Young - Hey Hey My My 
Tarney-Spencer Band - No Time To Lose   
Bad Company - Rock'n Roll Fantasy

Tue 8/16/11: OHWs!

and before the set even starts they're playing Tommy Tutone.

...but we kick off with Pilot's "Magic". Oh Ho Ho!

It is a damn shame David Essex is a OHW in the US. He put out some wonderful pop singles (all UK hits) after "Rock On".

A duet with CZJ??  my stars!

AAAACK! Blind Melon gets a OHW WOS.

VHM Marc Almond's love of taint; one(HW) for the never-need-to-hear-again list: Mungo Jerry.

Here in my car, I am so overplayed.

BOS Edison Lighthouse, nicest surprise of set and one of 4 hits Tony Burrows sang on in 1970. (per Wiki: "In February 1970, he became the first [and still the only] person to appear on BBC Television's Top of the Pops fronting three different acts in one show: Edison Lighthouse [who were number one that week], White Plains, and Brotherhood of Man." He also sang with the Pipkins.)

WOS2 Autograph. power shlock is right, TC.

BOS2 Chase, gettin' it AWN!



OMFG! kudos to Bob for playing Frida. Phil Collins' peak as a drummer. BOS3.



This was a much better (and more varied) assortment than I was expecting.


Pilot - Magic 
David Essex - Rock On   
Blind Mellon - No Rain   
Soft Cell - Tainted Love 
Mungo Jerry - In The Summertime   
Gary Numan - Cars   
Edison Lighthouse - Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes 
Autograph - Turn Up The Radio   
Chase - Get It On 
Frida - I Know There's Something Going On 

ETA: Bob commented that "the oldest songs we played got the most votes" (Edison Lighthouse won BOS).

wow, Autograph sounds like a lot of power shlock bands of the era, but Turn Up The Radio has that irresistible hook that makes me want to turn up the online player volume control, bitches!

Wed 8/17/11: 1986

*shudder*

aaack! WOS1 Boston, "Amanda"


Bring me a higher 'trina.  And a pepperoni pizza while yer at it.

BOS REM covering the Clique.

"Wild Wild Life" would rate a VHM and possibly a BOS if KFOG wasn't playing it 27 times a week.  You can call Paul Simon 'Trina.

uber-BOS2 live Brooooce, "Because the Night". 

VHM Bon Jovi's hair. Even better than Catherine Oxenberg's!


Red rain: the energy drink that tastes like Peter Gabriel! Yum!


Synths-a-plenty: WOS2 Van Hagar.  And if I had Huey Lewis', um, endowment, I'd feel pretty hip too.

Boston - Amanda 
Steve Winwood - Higher Love 
R.E.M. - Superman 
Talking Heads - Wild Wild Life 
Paul Simon - You Can Call Me Al   
Bruce Springsteen - Because The Night   
Bon Jovi - Living On A Prayer   
Peter Gabriel - Red Rain   
Van Halen - Dreams   
Huey Lewis & The News - Hip To Be Square

Thur 8/18/11: 1974

whatevs gets ya thru a Bob-in-the-'70s set.

Chicago's "Call On Me" would be quite a treat had I not just heard it on Casey's Aug '74 set this wknd.

VHM Ms Ronstadt. BOS the Dan, logically.

BOS2 EJ, that bitch.



ooo! BOS3 the mighty 'berries, looking for a "Hit Record".

OMFG! Kiki's got the music in her. And possibly a vibrator. BOS4 -- Bob's best, most pop-a-riffic set in a while.

John Lennon - Whatever Gets You Through The Night 
Chicago - Call On Me   
The Who - Long Live Rock   
Linda Ronstadt - You're No Good   
Bad Company - Ready For Love 
Steely Dan - Pretzel Logic   
Elton John - The Bitch Is Back   
Electric Light Orchestra - Can't Get It Out Of My Head 
Raspberries - Overnight Sensation   
Kiki Dee - I've Got The Music In Me

Fri 8/19/11: 1981

no expectations.

aaack! LoverSagaBoy, "Turn Me On The Loose." WOS1.

eeek! WOS2 .38 Special, "Fantasy Girl".

yeesh: Billy Squier.

sheesh: Henley & the Goat.

NOOOOOOOOO! WOS3 Rush, "Limelight". Bob's worst set in ages.

I give up: Genesis has no reply.

Jeezus H Christ on a stick! Rush *AND* Triumph?? WOS4 and this may be Bob's worst 10@10 evah.

man, talk about going out of your way to do all-crappy-AOR-fest.  Live LPs are almost always a cheat in this context but Seger's "Old Time RnR" re-do is about as unnecessary as it gets.

and we climax with Foreigner's "Juke Box Hero", which is like Cole Porter compared to what's gone before. Easily one of the worst 10@10s I've ever heard on any station.

Saga - On The Loose 
Police - Secret Journey   
.38 Special - Fantasy Girl   
Billy Squier - My Kinda Lover   
Stevie Nicks - Leather And Lace   
Rush - Limelight   
Genesis - No Reply At All   
Triumph - Fight The Good Fight   
Bob Seger - Old Time Rock'n Roll (live) 
Foreigner - Juke Box Hero
