Today's 1986 was hands down the worst 10@10 I have ever heard on any station.

Wed 2/16/11: 1968 redux!

Mason Williams is a "Gas" gas gas. VHM.

Cream frets about tired starlings. Dude, call the SPCA.

Dion frets about dead guys. LOVED this at the time; now it seems a tad too sappy. Harps? really?

First duplication with Rob's earlier '68 set is, unsurprisingly, "Dock of the Bay".

Moodies ride they see-saw. Proxy of shray.

Beatles (yay) take some broken "Blackbird" wings and learn to fly. BOS1. Jimi's on the watchtower.


Another for the "Never again" list: Quinn the eskimo gets here, but I'm not jumping for joy.

and so on, and so on, and scooby-dooby-dooby.

BOS2 Stones. What can a po'-ah bo'-ah do?

Mason Williams - Classical Gas 
Cream - White Room 
Dion - Abraham, Martin and John 
Otis Redding - Sitting on the Dock of the Bay 
Moody Blues - Departure/Ride My See Saw 
Beatles - Blackbird 
Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower 
Manfred Mann - The Mighty Quinn 
Sly & the Family Stone - Everyday People 
Rolling Stones - Street Fighting Man

Thur 2/17/11: 1978 redux

no *way* Bob is topping Rob in this year. And if he plays "Dreadlock Holiday" or "Thunder Island" I may go postal.

OTOH, "Sultans of Swing" isn't much less 'trinish.  Wish someone would unearth the similar-sounding "Down in the Bunker" by the Steve Gibbons Band in a '78 set.

BJ gots the Dom Perignon in his hand and the spoon up his nose.

AAAAACK! Jay Ferguson goes sha-la-la-la-la-la m'lady, and I go for my AK-47.

And Mr Walsh's "Life's Been Good" is no less katrin-y. Ditto the Cars.

They say George Benson hits on princesses "On Broadway". VHM.

Foreigner sees double; Seger sees Cheryl Tiegs.

Jeezus effin' Christ on a stick: "Deadlock TrinaDay". Oh Bob how could you?  (Seriously, this is by FAR his biggest repeat offender in any year.)

Yeesh: "Wheel in the Sky". Worst. '78. Set. EVAH.

Snark is my life.

and I'm guessing I'll get to use a lot of it today...

Fri 2/18/11: 1985

Bob in the '80s -- never a good thing.

Fogerty's a tad late for pitchers & catchers. Put it in, coach!

Cheeze for breakfast: John Parr is a man in motion. I love it when the movie title is shoe-horned into a theme song that has nothing to do with the film. "I could be a man in motion -- all I need is a pair of wheels". Er, yeah, and I could be a millionaire; all I need is a million dollars.

BOS JCM, "Minutes to Memories". I'm really hoping he does play the SuperBowl halftime next year  -- there are already several FB pages promoting the idea.

Heh. The Talking Heads said "pee-pee". VHM.

BOS2 DavePat Bowietheny.

Bob plays the uncensored version of "Money For Nothing". BOS3 the First Amendment. Huey shows us the "Power" of Moreytrinas.

Thorogood, if you like to drink alone, why are you involving us at all? WOS.

WOS2 Bryan Adams; WOS3 The Firm. attractive/distractive/radioactive -- yeesh.

John Fogerty - Centerfield 
John Parr - St. Elmo's Fire 
John Mellencamp - Minutes to Memories 
Talking Heads - Stay Up Late 
David Bowie/Pat Metheny - This is Not America 
Dire Straits - Money For Nothing 
Huey Lewis & News - The Power of Love 
George Thorogood - I Drink Alone 
Bryan Adams - Summer of '69 
Firm - Radioactive
