VHM "Gold Dust Woman", not a rarity by any stretch but at least not one of the singles from that  LP.

TANC: "Dark Star" which was discussed on FB just yesterday. Hrm.

Is this the Dead?

uh, no. CSN.

good gawd: uber-uber-uber-LN3 "Margaritaville". I could use a drink right about now.

I thought the Dead's version was older.

This Marley is great, but probably in the LN category. Anything from Legend is, but he's one of those artists (like the Stones, for example) whose lesser known songs are often the same caliber as their hits.

But unlike the Stones, most of Marley's songs do in fact sound the same.

Can't access FB right now but I'd guess we're informed as to what the price of a gallon of gas was.  :o

$0.65

I'm guessing average income was supplied as well by our Rotemaster.

Nope, stretching out today. Monthly rent (yes, another FF) = $240 and Sassy bikini = $9

I suggested listeners supply their own memories and made my own five-minute post. You'd figure someone at KFOG would be able to put that kind of time into gathering some yearly highlights for FB.

Sassy bikini would qualify as this week's OMGWTFLOL

I'll VHM Supertramp because it's not "Give a Little Bit". A college radio memory for me.

proxy of Rod: "Touchdown Rrrrrrrrrrraiders"/John Madden looks like a slit watermelon.

uber-uber-uber-LN5: Queen. Truly a song I never need to hear again, esp in the context of 10@10.

I was wondering if that was 'Tramp.

At least my sons would be enjoying this uber-LN (Queen), if they were here.

BOS Bonnie R's attempt to have a hit remake like her friend Linda Ronstadt. It still fell short of the Top 40, however.

Thank the gods!  Something to vote for -- Neil, BOS by a landslide.

I wonder if this and Costello are going to be the most punk rock songs of the set. I guess punk wasn't too happening on American radio in '77. I don't remember hearing it (at eight years old).

the more progressive FM stations were playing the Ramones and Sex Pistols at that point. But then I was in NYC and the proximity to CBGBs made radio more aware.

oh, well, this set twern't no party, it weren't no disco, and there was  very little fooling around. It was certainly no Mudd club, nor CBGB & OMFUG

we're getting used to this now.
