10@10: Alternative Takes
dischead:
A thread for discussion about 10@10 in general.
Comments, observations, insights, complaints, whining...
dischead:
In another thread I mentioned that in six months of hosting 10@10, Renee
has yet to do a "set of mystery." Recently I noticed another staple has
long been absent. The last "vertical tasting" -- re-branded by AL as
"chartbusters" -- was July 5, 2011. I'm not at all saddened by this.
I've never heard a vertical set that I particularly liked. But perhaps
it's of interest to others. BTW, this would correspond to about the
time that shifts were made in the musical direction of KFOG, the
Saturday marathon was eliminated, etc.
CapnJack:
The one vertical tasting set I enjoyed was a Friday the 13th "Hits From Hell" edition.
I can't remember the exact setlist from that episode, but I do remember John Denver's
"Thank God I'm A Country Boy" was played. ;D
Big Fingers McGee:
General list of complaints which are specific to RR (and I'm even giving her a very reluctant pass on her rather uninteresting setlists):
1) Pathetic social media interaction.
2) Clips that are:
i) too long
ii) not really relevant
3) Songs being played in wrong (and in many cases multiple) years.
4) Amount of errors, both on the technical and the factual.
5) Lack of sense of humor about #1-4.

VT/Chartbuster sets were always, by their very nature, kinda uninteresting because the idea was that these were "big hits" from the Billboard chart. Dave and AL might throw in one chezzy pop song if it happened to fit, but mostly it was songs that we now call LNs. Given how many hits DC makes RR play daily, such sets would be redundant. But yeah, "Mystery Years"were always fun.
When AL took over, she was told to cut way back on theme sets, so a lot of Dave's great staples (Strictly Instrumental, Motown Monday and of course Hits From hell) fell by the wayside, sadly.
