Yeah, I'm channeling the 'welder, I can't shut up. Sorry. I had a bunch of cookies, etc., this morning, but that should've worn off by now . . .

Around '78-'79 was the time when I listened to AT40 on a weekly basis -- I was ten. I remember pretty much all of these songs climbing up the chart, especially from the first half of the year, but i can't remember which ones I was rooting for. Sultans of Swing for sure, but I think it stalled out at 4, and John Stewart's Gold, which got to 5. Probably Billy Joel and Foreigner, too, and maybe the singles from The Long Run, based on lingering love for Hotel California. It is wild to see three Bee Gees songs at number one within a few months of each other and remember that their album was considered a disappointment. That's how huge they were in '78. Or maybe it wasn't a commercial disappointment, it's just that the songs aren't nearly as good as the SNF hits.

Your 1979 is my 1985 (although in my case it was John Leader's Countdown America - didn't start listening to AT40 until late 1986).

I was thisclose to requesting "Love You Inside Out" -- one of the most underrated #1s of that period, IMHO.

1984 for me. I remember watching Casey's AT10 show on TV. Or was it top twenty?

68-81 is my happy place. I liked Soul Train and a little bit of AB.

In the Morey era, '65 thru '85 were pretty swell. '86 on up were kinda painful just because Dave was so reluctant to play pop cheeze or R&B after the mid-'80s... which is why '87 and '89 were the most-dreaded years on his watch. AL (pre-DC) really made '86 thru the '90s interesting, and those years have suffered most from DC's tinkering. I'm hoping Tuesday's '87 set was a harbinger rather than an anomaly.

Zappa BOS1
-
Stream way behind as usual -- Zappa is the TOTHK, apparently. (on his birthday)
BOS1.

Most unnecessary of set: Petty

I wonder if AB will get my dig at him for liking his own posts.
-
Most unnecessary of set: Petty
but Fred P is ecstatic.

I like it, too!

Who is #3? NTM, obviously.
EDIT: Patti Smith
-
OMFG: Patti! BOS2 "Frederick"!!
-
Who is #3? NTM, obviously.
patti Smith, somewhat recycling "Because the Night" with "Frederick" -- I remember seeing Brooce in Nov of '80 and he did "Because the Night" and I turned to my friend and said "think he'll do 'Frederick' next?"

For a millisec I thought it was "Because The Night", but then I realized it wasn't, and I've been fooled by this before - it was just different enough for me to think it was somebody else.
-
VHM RLJ, tho' "Chuck E Cheeze's in Love" is kinda pushing it.
-
#5 Blondie?
-
BOS3 Buzzcocks!!
-
#5 Blondie?
wow, you're younger than you look, bub. ;)
-
#5 Blondie?
Thanks Mike - Buzzcocks it is. BOS B-52's.
-
everybody's happy when they're eating a Rock Lobster happy meal! VHM -- Fred Schneider's voice has not worn well over time.
-
BOS B-52's!
-
Rock Lobster is the first tune to really standout from the background hum that has been this set.

wow, you really ARE cranky today ;) I was just about to say how impressed I am, 2 days in a row and AL is really "on fire" as Jose would say.
-
DISCO!!!!!! BOS Born to be Alive! Happy Cat.....
-
Woo Hoo! Patrick Hernandez! BOS4!

2nd most unnecessary of set: Walking On The Moon
-

funny, Webster played "Roxanne" in the 6:00 hour and thought sure we'd hear *that*, so this is somehow more agreeable to my ears.

Prefer Petty to this, but not totally painful.
-
I came late to the party, so i don't know which TP tune you guys thought was unneccesary (but you think they all are). But, of the songs I've heard, VHM, da PoPo, BOS, "Rock Lobster".
-
NTM, but BOS2 to "Dance dance dance to the radio".
-
Satellite TV -- what will they think of next??
holee crap -- Joy Division, BOS5. a bustout?
-
Most unneccesary, Katrina Killed the 10@10 Club.
-
unnecessary 3: Buggles.
-
Most unneccesary, Katrina Killed the 10@10 Club.
Agreed!!!
-
Most unneccesary, Katrina Killed the 10@10 Club.
oh-ah, oh-ah!
But like yesterday this was a mix of frequent-fliers, pop cheeze and rarities.
Tomorrow is (presumably) our '90s day for the week, so... we shall see. And AL mentioned on FB she was recording Xmas greetings, but has she said anything on-the-air?
-
BOS's Patti Smith, Buzzcocks. Joy Division. I minded Petty more than the Police. Buggles didn't sound too bad esp. after Joy Division.

Yes, it was a good mix.
-
Fred P is "on fire" this week: "Video didn't kill the radio star. Cumulus did." Zing!
-
I listened to 1987 and then 1979 today. Annalisa is definitely ON FIRE. These kinds of sets are why I listen. There's a mix of the familiar and new. The clips are new. There are a variety of styles of music.
I don't consider a good 10@10 one where I like all the music. In fact, it's nice to have a stinker or two because you might be surprised what you like or what memories it brings back. Playing the same Katrinas though has no chance of surprise or memories because you're just thinking of the other day when you heard the same song, if you're thinking at all.
Today, I really liked the cute transitions:
Eclipse news -> Walking on the moon
Video Cassette news -> Joy Division, Transmission
RCA TV ad -> TV Killed the Radio Star
Anyway, be sure to email or send her your thanks. And if DC was the problem, thank him for taking a vacation.

Agreed, though I missed the first half of the set (interminable 9am meeting).
As for TP's "Here Comes My Girl," even I find it a bit unneccesary. The song is fine, but any song I can recall completely in my brain isn't really needed in a 10@10.

not sure if I've posted these before:

Pictures of the eclipse from my backyard. I think you can see from the shadow on the door that my hair was different then.
