This whole set has kind of a dead fish smell to it.  For me, anyway.  '77 was never a fave year for me, 10@10 wise.  Neither Animals (Pink Floyd), nor Monkey Island (J. Geils) are ever likely to make the cut, and those are the albums I was listening to at the time, mainly so I didn't have to listen to most of what has been played today.

BOS, Heart.

great song!

[Here'sToYa!]

Me, in response to an FBer lamenting Barracuda over Dreamboat Annie because the latter is not heard on the radio that often:

It seems the rarity is becoming a rarity.

[ggould]

Cadillac Walk is ok, but sounds way too much like "Lay Down Sally - Part 2".

[shocked look of horror!]

[Here'sToYa!]

Shawn Colvin. KFOG came home.

[RGMike]

"Today's KFOG! it sounds like.... Shawn Colvin"  Funny, 1997's KFOG sounded like her too.

Cadillac Walk is ok, but sounds way too much like "Lay Down Sally - Part 2".

actually it sounds like ZZT to my ears.

I heard both songs at once when it came on: Clapton's guitar and Billy's growl.

Lightnin' Rod:  I think Dave Morey played Pink Floyd's Pigs (Three Different Ones) in a 10at10 once, didn't he?

nice ride, but all in all not much to see here...

[Big Fingers McGee]

I would describe today's set as being considerably less than the sum of its parts.

There were two songs I really didn't need to hear, a couple of others which were too mellow, about three which qualified as ok, and another three as good. But nothing really qualified as outstanding or a rarity.

And you know ALL of AL's freedom is gone because there was zero punk rock in this set, and seventies punk and new wave is her all-time favorite music genre.

actually Mink DeVille qualifies -- he was one of the early CBGBs denizens. But the song itself was more bluesy than punky.  I nearly requested Eddie & the HotRods but I think that woulda been a "record cellar" moment that DC would've nixed.

Lightnin' Rod:  I think Dave Morey played Pink Floyd's Pigs (Three Different Ones) in a 10at10 once, didn't he?

Yes, I believe you are correct.  Dave used to slip in the odd 10 minute track every once in a while ("Lone Me A Dime" is probably the biggest 10 Minute Katrina), but those days are gone, I'm afraid.

[Here'sToYa!]

Mink DeVille . . . was one of the early CBGBs denizens. But the song itself was more bluesy than punky.

Indeed. CountryBlueGrassBlues.

Back In Lurve Again is great.  BOS and kudos to SundayGal for suggesting this'n.

Thanks, but I was just supporting SS's suggestion on FB.  Jeffrey Osborne was da shiiiiiit!
