Brock
I wasn't clear, I meant to intro of the two songs
Brock
I look forward to that Flashback 6-2-84. Wish it were a month later, but you wanted Ollie and Jerry boxed out because they were so popular in the Metroplex
Brock
Plus I noticed 2 Rick songs in there. Don't Walk Away perhaps my favorite
Brock
Modern Day Delilah a top 5 all time favorite. Just below Rupert Holmes
GT25Ump
Did someone mention RICK? 
And Modern Day Delilah RULES!
Brock
Hey GT! That was big mouth me
GT25Ump
You ARE very chatty today, Brock, but that's not a bad thing!
Brock
The moment AMC 76 gets done in the '19-'20 time-frame, I'm bribing Sam to do AMC 84 as the last 80's one. I know it will be a tough sell.
Brock
Eating lunch at my desk, just talking to myself here on the board
Brock
See if my wife agrees with you GT
GT25Ump
I'd probably even assist with finding extras for an AMC '84.
Brock
Awesome!
Brock
The year fascinates me GT. 80 awesome, 81 ok. 82 awful. 83 okay, the out of no where for me the last gasp of great 80's---1984!
GT25Ump
'84 is probably the most difinitive year of the 80's that best represents the decade and what sound they remember from that time. It doesn't sound like anything from the 70's or the 90's.
sam
it's all opinions now. Remember that. But for me 84 is the most fried year out of any year in the history of music. And to me the music before it was fried was notthat great either. runs a real close race for me as being the lowest ranked year right there with 82. Only two of the number one songs for that year are in the regular rotation and they probably shouldnt be
Brock
It's funny GT.....to me a true bridge year. the 75-81 Sam part reappears for me, anyway, in '84...Sergio Mendes, Peabo Bryson, Starship, so many songs that could be in the late 70's and some that are true early 80's. I'm not doing a good job of explaining, but to me. once '85 game, a switch flipped.
Brock
Yeah that's where I respectfully disagree. I'm not looking at the chart, but I'm certain 8 of the top 10 from that week are fried. I can say that about a lot of years. But '84 has the depth of good songs in the lower position that 83 kinda and 82 to a big extent doesn't have.
GT25Ump
Definitely all opinions and no one is wrong, as you point out, Sam, we were living in different places and heard different songs, blah blah blah. I will definitely agree with you, Sam, that '84 is the most fried year of the decade, which is a somewhat of a compliment, suggesting that PD's and people in general loved the music from that year, more then other years, I guess.
Brock
Laura Branigan, Joe Jackson, Dan Fogelberg, Tracey Ullman. Jackson, Fogelberg, Alan Parsons, 70's artists with an 80's twist making their last hurrahs before the mid/late 80's bigger change comes.
Brock
You're right GT there are no wrong answers. We're all at different times in our life back then. And certain songs would fry in one place and not in others. But in the current day 2019, from someone that listens to TFO the most but SiriusXM some and a tad of Terrestrial (I don't need to listen to that c**p, I know what they fry) I don't see as much 84 fry as you guys
GT25Ump
Good points, Brock.
Brock
Cyndi Lauper mega fry, Huey Lewis, Oh Sherri, Borderline, Dancing In The Dark....I can do that to a lot of years
Brock
I'm looking now, I can list 40-50 songs minimum that are hardly fried, again today in 2019 on teh national and local "terrestrial platform."
Brock
A Follow The Money song!
Brock
I left out two of the worst offenders. Footloose and Legs. No argument here, right up there with Every Breath You Take in the extra crispy department. But still, from early charts, you can't tell me Runner, A Fine Fine day, Leave It, Love will Show Us How, It's My Life Talk Talk, Send Me An Angel, the Kid's American....I'll stop
GT25Ump
Good stuff!
humphreycpa
Brock, no love for oh, Ghostbusters, Jump...my memories of 84 music are the fried ones you listed.
humphreycpa
you list some nice radio friendly cuts that you don't hear on the regular stations, but Sam gives the love to regularly.
Brock
Jump Fried no question Humphrey. You'rer gonna laugh, but I don't hear Ghostbusters as much as many others.
humphreycpa
that is odd, isn't*t? it bridged the Purple Rain songs, helped keep the Boss from number 1. another of the many music hits that went to number 1.
humphreycpa
and now 1983. my favorite music year of the 1980s.
humphreycpa
OH! Numbers added to the 1983 songs on the list of songs played.
Brock
1983? I don't think I knew that Humphrey
dave in PA
Long week.., now a five day mini vacation. A lot of the fox and the Styx show on Tuesday that god this weekend had finally arrived
dave in PA
Yep seen them I think eight times and they like this one
GT25Ump
Morning, Folks. Great Journey tune here.
humphreycpa
Good morning everyone.
humphreycpa
I’m jealous you get to see Styx Dave! I’m hoping they land in Indy this summer. I’ve only seen them at Notre Dame in 1983.
GT25Ump
Woohoo, humphrey!
dave in PA
Congrats Humphrey
humphreycpa
Thanks everyone.
Brock
Good morning all. What did I miss about Humphrey???
humphreycpa
Today is the 9th birthday of Humphrey CPA Group
Brock
Congrats Humphrey! Awesome.
Kari
I have never heard this Sheena Easton song before
GT25Ump
You're welcome, Kari!
Kari
I did like it!!
GT25Ump
I'd never heard that Hagar tune, Remember the Heroes, good stuff.
humphreycpa
Mike Reno of Loverboy on backing vocals. It’s from 3 Lock Box.
GT25Ump
I bet I haven't heard this SoulSister song since it came out in fall of '89, wow. It got VERY little airplay at our station, even though it made it to #41, and it's an okay song.
sam
great song
Brock
Thx Sam
GT25Ump
Thx Sam, a Loggins tune that isn't fried.
GT25Ump
Smash Mouth, seems like a Kari request to me.... 
Kari
I'm offended!
GT25Ump
LOL, just thought it fit your time frame of music, my bad. I like Smash Mouth, even being a 90's band!
GT25Ump
Can never go wrong with Donna Summer music...
Kari
That was the l"best" Smash Mouth song I've ever heard
Brock
Thx Sam
GT25Ump
Makin' It....great song
humphreycpa
Power of Gold. A Fogelberg Classic!
GT25Ump
Don't know this Xavion tune but I like it
humphreycpa
Sweet! Dave Stewart and Candy Dulfer. Great sax work!
humphreycpa
today's AMC...Golden Earring, Saga, Frida, Journey, Styx....oh and a song about a girl named Billie Jean. Donna Summer, ONJ, so many good songs (ok so the Journey and Styx songs might have a little crisp to them)
GT25Ump
Yep, good stuff!
humphreycpa
Forgot about Duran Duran's debut. Sonny Charles isn't bad. Oh, and look, here's Linda Ronstadt.
humphreycpa
And how can we forget Pia Zadora? Some good funky EWF, Kenny & Sheena, Hall & Oates...
Jeff
No one mentioned the Pretenders? Shame!
humphreycpa
oh yeah Jeff-good catch...
Benjamin1970
Thanks Sam for playing Is There Something I Should Know
GT25Ump
Popping in for some DISCO SATURDAY NIGHT @ THE FOX OLDIES!
AC
I'm ready to boogie like it's 1979, and beyond!
GT25Ump
Wouldn't "beyond" be into the 80's? I'd be okay with that!
AC
There we go, some way old school disco!
AC
Sure, I'm ok with that!
GT25Ump
I would be as well, but this current music is right up the wife's alley, while she's cooking in the kitchen and listening. HA
AC
Nice! First two of three songs on Saturday Night Disco are from 1982. I guess you can't escape 1982, though I always thought it was 1981 one couldn't escape.
GT25Ump
Brock would be hating this show, as he hates '82.
GT25Ump
But unfortunately, I have to head out, late dinner and a movie, but enjoyed the early show, luv ya SAM!
AC
Of course one of those two from 82 is one of Sam's favorites from that year. A Night To Remember is starting to grow on me, perhaps simply becasue of the reason I have heard it a few times here at The Fox in the past week or so, so I have had it pushed into the core of my brain a bit! I would much rather hear Make That Move, Second Time Around, Take That To The Bank, and Dancing In The Sheets.
AC
Enjoy GT, and groove on!
humphreycpa
Hey AC and GT!
AC
Hola Humphrey! Finally getting a little more flashback to 40 years ago.
humphreycpa
Sylvester is definitely 1979!
AC
So is this tune, and when it came out in 79, I would've liked to go and party!
humphreycpa
Some old school EWF!
AC
Nice for sure!
AC
The DeFranco Family is disco?
humphreycpa
Not sure about the DeFranco family.
humphreycpa
but here is disco Barry with the Copacabana.
AC
Disco Barry is the best side of Barry, in my opinion. The brief foray of New Wave Barry is second.
AC
This Jacksons groove written by an unrelated Jackson is one of my favorite dance tunes from them.
humphreycpa
Blame it on the Boogie is a good dance tune.
humphreycpa
Back to 1978 for Wings’ Goodnight Tonight.
AC
We are really dancing on that 78/79 line with these last few songs. Nice to hear Disco Paul and the full version of Goodnight Tonight, which peaked 40 years ago this Sunday on the Hot 100.
humphreycpa
Oops I was a year early on Sir Paul. With A little Luck was 78.
AC
I think Goodnight Tonight was recorded in 78 though.
AC
It appears Saturday Night Disco ended with Polly Brown. Like 1975, that is wild!
Brock
Good Sunday morning TFO night owls!
AC
Hello Brock! You mean Saturday night?! Even at midnight on the East Coast, it is still Saturday night! If you need guidance, perhaps look to Giorgio Moroder's music from Midnight Express! That is no church-going music, unless your church is Saturday Night Disco!
GT25Ump
Love me some Ben Orr, Stay the Night, on a Sunday night. And I'm the only one in the chat room right now, never had that occur, ha.
humphreycpa
Welcome to 1967! Groovy time!
GT25Ump
Lemme know when you guys get to like, 1977 on these Monday shows and start listening again.
Jeff
I'm still listening but I'll be looking forward to around 8 years from now (when I was born.)
sam
I know you are an 80's guy GT but you are in the minority here. Monday gets more listeners than any day of the week.
sam
Thank you Jeff for tuning in
SteveS
I enjoy this tour through music history. Thank you, Sam!
Jeff
I think it'll be interesting to see when Monday's ratings start dropping. I think it happened around 1984 when AT40 was airing. And I also assume you would end it when ratings start going down.
sam
That is where it went to c**p when I was running AT40 and I never should have continued that after that happened. It killed the numbers. But I tried to please everyone. But that is impossible. But I learned my lesson.
Jeff
Though I guess there's no need to go beyond 1976 since the prerecorded AMC series starts at 1977.
sam
I don't know. People are really enjoying me playing the records. We will see.
GT25Ump
Nope, I get it, I'm in the minority and I'm glad the turnout is good!
dave in PA
I’ve actually been quite surprised by all of the songs I really enjoy from the sixties. I would have never thought.
MitchM
Alright - some 1967 psychedelic rock.
Kari
This pretty ballerina song is freaking me out
MitchM
Kari - Are you now or have you ever been a "Pretty Ballerina"?
MitchM
The Seeds are a garage band - hard to believe "Pushin' Too Hard" didn't go Top 15.
Cjrmack
A lot of classic songs debuting the first week of March 1967
Jeff
Sam, we should be in February 1983. These sound like they're from the extras.
humphreycpa
I was thinking the same Jeff
sam
c**p give me a minute
AC
Dang, it looks like I missed some action. I also missed most of AMC 1967, except for the first hour, because of work, and I had no way to record it because the Internet is off at my place for the moment. I think the show can't be replayed because of stupid streaming rules, and so I was wondering if anybody could send me a copy of today's show. It would be greatly appreciated!
sam
Once again the program messed up and I was of course not in this dang studio. Every time I leave anymore. Sorry but this is getting real old.
sam
ok it will carry over past 2pm today to catch up
humphreycpa
thank you Sam. i know it's maddening that this keeps happening to you.
Brock
Good morning TFO people on this Twos-day!
GT25Ump
Good stuff from Sammy...
dave in PA
Fly robin fly good tune
GT25Ump
Get Up & Boogie gets stuck in my head for half the day, every time I hear it, I swear.
humphreycpa
Greetings from the desert everyone! It’s 6:18 am where I’m at.
Brock
Where Humphrey?
humphreycpa
Phoenix today. Heading to Vegas later today for a few days. The rest of the family is in Flagstaff.
GT25Ump
Lovin' some Night Ranger this morning!
Brock
The sap in me ...great Maxine Nightingale song.
GT25Ump
Nothing wrong with Maxine, but she's no RICK! Good lesser known Rick tune, Calling All Girls
Brock
So true GT
Brock
Walking out of my dorm the day after graduation, May 22nd 1983 and Don't Let It End -Styx was on my radio when I started my car. Thought it was cool, never forget those "coincidences."
Brock
Nice Humphrey
GT25Ump
Cool coincidence, Brock. I had that happen once as well, where as I drove to my 20 year class reunion, but what came on the radio but, Back to the Future.
Brock
Is cool GT. Good morning TFO on this beautiful Wednesday.
humphreycpa
Greetings from Vegas! High today 65!!!!!
Brock
6 AM glad to see you up bright and early Humphrey.
Kari
Wow, Humphrey, it is supposed to be high in the 70s in Milwaukee today!!
humphreycpa
My body is still on Eastern time zone clock.
Troy in CA
Sunshine on my shoulders gets me sunburnt.
sam
You stole my thunder
sam
I guess everybody sang it that way in 74
humphreycpa
Okay guys-here are the throwback shows in Vegas. Manilow is across the street. Herman’s Hermits, Donny and Marie, Santana are at other venues.
sam
Surrounded by music stars. never been to vegas. Maybe I should consider it now!
humphreycpa
That doesn’t include Wayne Newton or Celine Dion, neither of which my wife would pay to see.
sam
Neither would I. Wayne only sings about four songs now in his concerst because he has lost his singing voice, His backing band ans singers do most ofthe show
sam
And I don't like diva's
humphreycpa
Plus tributes to Michael Jackson, Elvis, the Beatles.
humphreycpa
We are staying away from the Strip. It’s pretty tame where we are staying.
sam
I don't really care for tribute artist either. I will watch one but would never pay to see one
sam
I don't like to gamble either. So maybe not for me after all
Brock
I'm offended!
djjoe
If you are in Vegas, you should go to the LOVE show featuring Beatles music and Cirque.
humphreycpa
The only gambling I do might be going to the Sportsbook and placing a wager on either the Super Bowl or World Series.
humphreycpa
Heard good things about the Beatles show.
djjoe
I attended about 7 yeras ago and it was great. Good to see all ages (20's-70's) enjoying the music and the show.
Brock
Humphrey, you can get the Colts at 13 to 1 on a futures wager to win the Super Bowl!
Kari
Yea, I saw the Beatles Cirque show about 9 years ago, very worth it
Brock
Sam song!
sam
Really? I like the song, But I don't know that I have said it's one of my all time favorites. It is a great tune
Brock
Redbone.....I just know your "top" favorites" from listening and I know that's where it falls. Just like to jab you. I really like it too.
Brock
TFO semi regular or regular here too
sam
Well it should be Great song. But a lot of thses songs this week are in that same catagory.
sam
35 of the 50 are in regular rotation. That's a lot. More than most weeks
humphreycpa
Brock-I figures the Colts would be a favorite. Might plunk something down on the Browns.
Brock
UPS for Stevie Wonder I think
Brock
Browns right there with the Colts Humphrey, 14 to 1
sam
You are right Brock
Cjrmack
What does UPS mean?
AC
This is a great forgotten gem from Main Ingredient.
sam
UPS Postal services
Cjrmack
74, 75, and 76 are my top years for Top 40's
MitchM
I was sure glad to hear "One Hell of a Woman" by Mac Davis this morning. That song has been rarely played since 1974.
sam
Good tune
sam
One of my favorite albums of all time is Baby Don't Get Hooked on Me. Love the whole album. mac Davis is very underrated great songwriter
GT25Ump
Hey Sam, if you hadn't heard, Rick is doing a live performance today on "The Talk", at 1pm.
sam
Did not know that. I will try and record it so I can skip through the show and watch him
sam
thanks for the heads up
AC
I agree. You Make Me Feel Brand New should have topped the Hot 100.
sam
Amen!
Cjrmack
It came close AC.
Cjrmack
Great Top 10! Like every song. Even "The Streak" is hilarious.
sam
Yes this top ten is by far one of the best countdowns I have done yet. Onlyone song in it is not in the regular rotation another big number
Cjrmack
From everything known about Peter Cetera you are 100% right Sam
sam
DIVA!
AC
Peter probably was bitter towards Terry because he wanted to be the only person front and center in Chicago. I believe his attention-seeking ways in some ways led to Terry's untimely deaths. I agree, Peter Cetera is a jerk.
sam
terry's death was an accident. He didnt commit suicide. He was playing with a gun and shouldn't have been and it went off and killed him
Cjrmack
I wore out my "Band On the Run" album. It may have been the first album I ever purchased was all 45's prior to that.
sam
Peter Cetera does think he is above every human being on the planet. him and David Foster
sam
Best album Wings recorded by far. Not a bad song on it
MitchM
My note on "La Grange" being played in the Top 40 by Casey says that AT40 ran with an estimated/improvised Top 40 because Casey needed to record it early because he was filming an episode of "Hawaii 5-O. I believe "La Grange" was played at 33.
AC
Band On The Run is an amazing album.
Cjrmack
I didn't know until recently "Bennie & the Jets" charted to #15 on the Soul Singles chart.
sam
yes it did
Cjrmack
I agree with you Sam about "Loco-Motion".
Cjrmack
I think if not for "The Streak" that "Dancing Machine" would have been the 5th # 1 for the J5
djjoe
Great songs from 1974. Thanks, Sam.
Troy in CA
Great DJ work as always!
AC
I'm aware Terry didn't purposefully kill himself, though he was distraught with the direction of Chicago during the late 70s, which was significantly due to Peter's attention-seeking ways, and so he probably wouldn't have been playing with his gun the way he was if he wasn't so distraught with Chicago. At least that's what I believe after hearing about the history of Chicago.
AC
Good show Sam, thank you once again!
Troy in CA
That makes a lot of sense AC.
sam
I have no problem blaming Peter cetera for anything.
sam
Thanks AC
humphreycpa
Good morning TFO ABCDers
MitchM
Good morning Humphrey and everyone.
humphreycpa
Thinking it’s a Don’t song ending. Like Don’t Look Back.
humphreycpa
Hey Mitch’
MitchM
My guess for final song of the day is "Do You Want to Know a Secret" by the Beatles.
humphreycpa
Good choice.
Jeff
"Do You Wanna Touch Me" sounds like a good place to stop.
MitchM
"Devil's Gun" was #1 on the Billboard Dance chart for 5 weeks.
Brock
Goodmorning TFO people! I'll go Do You Believe In Magic
Jeff
My guess for last week didn't make the cut. I had my doubts.
MitchM
I'm surprised "Diamond Girl" got skipped.
MitchM
Maybe "Diamond Girl" hasn't been skipped yet. I have Prince under Diamonds, not Diamond.
Jeff
So Herb Alpert still has a chance.
Jeff
The Prince song is spelled Diamonds though.
sam
look at the recent played tracks. It cut the s off and that is why it cam up first
sam
I know it's Diamonds it just didnt rip right
humphreycpa
Diana by Bryan Adams is a good rock tune.
humphreycpa
Ah yes. My last song choice from. Last week. 45 minutes late.
Jeff
Sam, there could have been another Didn't song but you probably deem it too fried.
Brock
S.S.
sam
There were more than one. But one artist I don't play but maybe one song because everything she did is fried
Jeff
"Different Corner" got skipped also. I always thought it was one of the least fried George Michael songs (and one of his best).
sam
The title is A Different Corner and it got skipped in the A's also
sam
Sorry
Brock
Anyone close on the potential last song of the day Sam?
sam
Most are over shooting the song. Ther is one guess that is close
Jeff
I'm guessing the Lovin Spoonful has to be the closest guess. So maybe we end with Peter Frampton today?
sam
wel that one is close, but there is another that is closer
Jeff
Jon Secada?
MitchM
No "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead"? I thought that might be a fun enough song to leave in the rotation, but I guess not.
sam
very few novelty songs. Most get annoying after the first few times you hear them
GT25Ump
Well, as long as I get to hear Disco Duck, my day is made.
Brock
Manfred Mann
Brock
Boston City of Champoins Go Bruins!
Brock
Champions
Brock
I'm offended
Brock
GT in heaven
GT25Ump
LOL
MitchM
More Thursday morning disco!!
Jeff
This hour was a Dirty Disco.
humphreycpa
Some good Disco tunes! This is the Saturday night Disco segment since it’s being pre-empted this weekend l!
humphreycpa
Well played Jeff!
Brock
Good 1982 Do I Do. Can't say that about a lot of 1982
Jeff
May not be a popular opinion but I still like 1982 better than 1985.
Brock
I do too Jeff. Only by default. 80's only, 88 worst, 85 bridesmaid. Not sure if 82 is third worst
Jeff
I'll be out of town for the holiday weekend and won't be able to listen to the top 500. But I did listen a couple years ago when it aired on the Zew. Good show.
sam
That's my biggest fear. Everyone will be out of town and I will have done all this work for nothing.
sam
Can't just do nothing. I guess I could have. But I had to try
Brock
Great song ARS
sam
Brock song
Brock
I don't need to say anything about this. HAHA Sam you beat me to it!
Brock
79 ARS top 1980 Paul Davis. Best season of music 79-80. Touche Sam.
Brock
To not top
Brock
I'll be listening Sam. Just trying to decide whether I listen on the Fox or the Zew
Brock
Another great song
Kari
my nemeses, Captain and Tenielle
Brock
Not a big fan Kari, but this one and maybe Can't Stop Dancing from Sam's favorite year are good
Brock
Nemeses...what did they ever do to you????
sam
Only song I can not tolerate bythem is Muscrat Love. Other than that I was and still am a big fan.
Jeff
ELO should be coming up.
MitchM
Sam - I did make a post on the AT40FG proboard site about the Classic Rock 500. As of about an hour ago, 32 people had viewed my post. I plan to catch at least half of the 500, probably on the Fox.
sam
Thanks Mitch!
Jeff
I thought the live version of "Do You Feel Like We Do" was around 14 minutes. How was the song finished after 7?
sam
45 version
sam
during the classic rock 500 it's the full length album version
sam
14 mins is too long for the fox. that woul dtake up a quarter of the hour
Jeff
Understood. I just thought you had to play the studio version to get the 7 minute version.
sam
ohno the 45 of the live version is 7mins. It's rare to hear the full album version. at least in my area. they all playthe 7 min version
sam
they even edited it down more on AT40
humphreycpa
This time 1983 has some of my favorite songs-China Girl, Asia, Jackson Browne.
Brock
Not bad stuff Humphrey. Getting to like The Border the more I hear it.
GT25Ump
The Border is good stuff. Agree also with humphrey on Asia and Jackson Browne, obviously. I'm not really into David Bowie.
humphreycpa
Forgot about America also. A
humphreycpa
And let’s not forget Rick!
Brock
Jeff
The Journey song was good also.
Brock
I like this
humphreycpa
Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone!
Brock
Humphrey you too and to the rest of my fellow TFO listeners. And Sam
humphreycpa
Thank you Brock. Leaving Vegas this morning and heading toward Phoenix for a day or two. High temps barely in the 70s in Vegas.
dave in PA
Have a nice holiday gents
Brock
You too Dave
dave in PA
Great tunes
humphreycpa
Some very good classic tunes this weekend!
Kari
Bd has grown into one of my favorite U2 songs but I love the live version more.
Kari
LOL, that was the live version
Kari
The player was showing Unforgettable Fire album art
sam
yea the album covers are taken from amazon and they are clueless
sam
The internet is down in my area. They are working in it
sam
back up
humphreycpa
Oh good. I’ve been away from the steam and wondered what had happened.
sam
Ihave never been so tired of one thing in my life. It doesn't matter what I am doing if I leave the house something is gonna go wrong.
