Good week!
Some radio stations are replaying old episodes of “American Top 40” on the weekends. Nobody could count them down like Casey Kasem.
Back when America was America. The real deal. Reagan era greatness.
SiriusXM 70s on 7 plays it every week.
“Back when America was America. “
And cops used planes to nab people going 61 mph on interstates.
All dawgs IMHO.... Anything by Toto is a joke.
Yes, it was! The absolute best of times. Whoever would have dreamed it would turn into such sh*#t.
Don't you know Reagan is flipping in his grave?
At one time Waaaaay back in my dim dark past (1960s) I printed Billboard magazine. Back when they had a printed magazine. Every Friday from late Friday morning when the copy arrived until it was finished. If you worked late shift as I did, sometimes that meant lots of OT.
Funny thing, for as influential as Billboard was, the press run was really not that high. Somewhere around 50,000 copies, if memory serves.
Hydra was the only good album they did.
John Cougar is a frickin’ Commie.
Barf. Toto? Eye of the Tiger?
Pick any week of mediocre music from the 1970s and it will be far better than the best week of any 1980s music.
I think of Hank singing “Eye of the Tiger” in Breaking Bad.
That is a good 5 songs to play on the juke box at my next bar visit.
It’s amazing how many records by other artists Lukather played on in the 80s.
The most bizarre one was in “Cheech and Chong’s Next Movie”, that’s him....

Killjoy reporting. First three are pretty good, #4 middling, #5 unlistenable without weed.
Sorry. Horrible choice. My wife is named Rosanna too.
I prefer the 79’s myself. I remember looking at the top 100 for 1973. Almost every song is very memorable.
I was only ten in 1973 so I wasn’t listening to much of that then.
Sorry 70’s
