Which loosely translates to "white", I suppose. It certainly was heavy on the AOR, prog-rock, FM stuff.

Looks like it was an okay set -- always nice to see "Hurricane" get played -- but I don't feel like I missed something earth-shattering.

and BTW Twilley's "I'm on Fire" is from '75.  ;)

sounds like Renée is listening to (and here acknowledging) the occasional criticism that FBers hurl at her re: "diversity."   

Doesn't Dylan's Hurricane count as a "black" song?   :)

No disco, no punk, no pop.  The first three tracks are "rootsy". 

No Frampton or Boston or Gary Wright.

This set, imo, could have used some Frampton.

I would've suggested  Cocaine (ducks)

I dunno.... I'd far rather have a set of semi-deep AOR tracks than have an LN-saturated effort with a token disco song (i.e. "YMCA").

5. Steely Dan - Haitian Divorce

TANC: Just returned home after a weekend down there in the bay, and as I read thru this thread (I was in flight while this set aired) I was hearing the Dan's The Royal Scam on WTF, Morey's retirement project.

I agree with that sentiment -- up to a point, anyway.  It certainly seems that you've described what the new regime has been giving us, as far as '60s and '70s sets are concerned.  And yes, better this than one of DC's "Oldies 103.7" specials. But not every single time -- an early '70s set without, say, Al Green or Bill Withers once in a while makes no sense, given 10@10's long history.

Unexpurgated in the replay as well.  An oversight, or does Dylan get a pass not afforded to
other artists?  AL had a couple of profanity slips that got edited for the evening airing.

As a fan of the genre, I take exception to the use of prog-rock for anything in that set.  There
were a couple of songs from bands that early in their existence were prog rock, but by 1976
could no longer claim that mantle.

1976 is a little early for "mainstream" punk, no?  And perhaps for disco, too.  Another missing
musical trend that was in full flower then is funk, but that's lacking in most 10@10 sets even
in such appropriate years.

No Frampton or Boston or Gary Wright.

You say that like it's a bad thing.  (grin)

Okay, I'll admit it... I like Frampton.  I think it was required by law for suburban teenagers back
then.

BOS.  VHM Zevon & Dylan.  The rest of the set was uninspired and routine, as befits one
of the worst years ever.

I think Genesis certainly qualifies for prog-rock here.   And I held that opinion before reading this on wikipedia:  "The majority of the song was written in 1972 and was originally intended for the Foxtrot album."  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Trick_of_the_Tail_(song)

Call them freaks or publicity stunt artists, but it's still prog-rock, dude, with Hobbit Roick and Woodnymph Rock overtones.  :)  I always felt like Phil Collins sounded a little like Peter Gabriel, and he tried to mimic PF's textures and phrasing on TOTT to ease the longtime fans who might've had their doubts about the band's direction after PG left.

Me too.  I like Gary Wright too, though "Dream Weaver" should be played very sparingly, if at all. 

On the other hand, I have no use for Boston whatsoever....

I think Boston suffers from the same problem as say, The Cars.  It's okay material, from a time
when there wasn't as much good pop/rock music.  So it gets played a lot, but it's not deep
enough to stand up to the overexposure.
