Songs I thought had a chance but was disappointed not to hear:

Thomas Dolby - I Love You Goodbye


That's surprising, given its popularity on 10@10 (and the 10@10 bias this A-to-Z has been showing).

Speaking of, I just tuned in and they were playing all-time LN "Walls Came Down" by the Call. Which means A-to-Z should easily wrap up before midnight tomorrow night.

That song files under "The"  -- "The Walls Came Down" -- so that will spread it out more.

So they did "The" songs but not "A" songs? OK...

Now playing: Muse - Undisclosed Desires. This is the type of "rarity" (other than 10@10 faves) this A-Z has been good for the most -- songs that were on KFOG's playlist 3-5 years ago that they don't play anymore.

And the list picks up (after Acoustic Sunset) with the Cranberries' version of "Wild Horses". No Stones?

I fully expected the next tune to be "Wild Night" by Mellencampodegeocello, but no: it's "Wishing Well" by TTD, one of the all-time 10@10 FFs.  Will we make it to "Zooropa" by midnite? Rockwell seems to think not.

Looking back a few hours, I note there were only 3 "Who" songs, 3 "White" ones, 3 "Where"s and 4 "When"s. Whole lotta "What", however.

I heard the "Stay" songs earlier today, and they did not play David Bowie's "Stay".  Bummer.   

They'll be regretting that decision now.

I could fall asleep at night
as a rock & roll star
I could fall in love all right
as a rock & roll star.

the list ended in the 6:00 hour with "Zombie", "Zooropa" and "Zoot Suit Riot".  Wondering if they slipped in "Ziggy Stardust" last nite.
