Good morning Brock and Roberto!

Nice to see YMCA finally out of the Top 10. I know we will still be hearing it in the countdown for the next few weeks though.

Slammin Sam

believe me I have heard YMCA more than I ever want to again. But I Will Survive drives more crazy than YMCA ever could.

Slammin Sam

And there is a debut on Thursday's countdown that is worse to me than both put together.

Slammin Sam

But then again She Drives me Crazy makes absolute sick also. It may be worse than the one I mentioned that debuts

Slammin Sam

But that's just me.

Anonymous118620

I think I can guess which song you're referring to

Slammin Sam

probably

Brock

Agree Sam. All 3 in the fried HOF

For sure Brock and Sam. 1979 has some of the best music ever, though it also has some of the most burnt songs ever, such as those mentioned, plus Old Time Rock and Roll. I guess with the good also comes the bad and the ugly, no matter what year of music.

Slammin Sam

I have to say Old Time Rock And Roll has to be number one on the list of most fried songs on the planet. If not number one very close. I have been known to leave businesses when that song gets played. Drives me insane!

Anonymous118620

What's crazy is, if that song hadn't been included in a movie it might have ended up completely forgotten

Glad I was able to catch the playing of this song from Starbuck. It should have at least snuck into the 40. A song that seems all but forgotten just about everywhere.

Always nice to hear Get Up Offa That Thing; it always puts me in a good mood.

Laura

I hope your sanity doesn't get tested too much over the next few weeks

Brock

Good Tuesday evening.

Jeff

Good day Fox Oldies Chat. Ready to go back to 1982 this morning.

GT25Ump

Yes, bring on 1982

Jeff

Correct me if I'm wrong but the only reason "Through The Years" is fried is because it was used six dozen times as an LDD on AT40.

Slammin Sam

That helped but not the only reason. It was just overplayed period

Jeff

Was it played more on Country radio than pop?

Slammin Sam

Both, I heard it everywhere that was the problem

humphreycpa

Through the Years is so typical of a lot of the songs of early 1982. Way overplayed to the point of being painful to listen to.

humphreycpa

Open Arms is another. Don't get me wrong. I like Journey. I like the "Escape" album, saw them in concert. Open Arms, meh. It's just not a song I can listen to right now.

Slammin Sam

Open Arms makes my skin crawl

Jeff

I like Journey's more uptempo songs better anyway.

Troy in CA

I thought the other 3 singles from Escape were awesome but didn't care for Open Arms from the beginning.

Anonymous118817

Here's maybe the most fried song in today's entire show...I Love Rock & Roll

Jeff

Don't know. "Edge Of Seventeen" may have it beat, but not by much.

humphreycpa

Find Another Fool....a huge SHCH song

Anonymous118817

A third contender for most fried...Tommy Tutone!

Anonymous118817

It's rare for me to recognize songs this low in the countdown, but I know Georgy Porgy. I used to listen to Toto's greatest hits CD a lot

Anonymous118817

Really great to hear That's The Way this afternoon

Slammin Sam

Mark Elliott who filled in for Casey Kasem many times on AT40. Has passed away. He was 81

Laura

I'm close to filling out the 73-82 chart and it's still shocking how certain #1s ranked lower than you would expect all because it didn't go to #1 on one of the other charts.

Laura

And most of the time R&R was the culprit.

Slammin Sam

Some of them didn’t deserve it. Some did

Beatlejosh

I've heard throught the years on some tv comercials. I remember Mc Lyte, the rap artist sample the Song Georgie Porgie one one of her songs.

Laura

I have a feeling I know which ones you're referring to

Slammin Sam

I couldnt even think of which ones, I just remember when I was doing that countdown. That I was real pleased with a lot of songs that did chart higher on one o fthe charts and happy that some got knocked down a notch or two that never deserved it to begin with. But that's just me!

GT25Ump

1989? Could you treat me like Calgon and TAKE ME AWAY, please! bye

Jeff

Let's hear more from the great year of 1989.

humphreycpa

Good morning Jeff and GT. I hope everyone is well on this Thursday. Bring on 1989!

Anonymous118992

Bummer for Tiffany. Typical 1989 odd chart moves.

Jeff

For me the week's biggest loss is Kon Kan.

Anonymous118992

Agreed. That's one of my favorites from this era as well.

GT25Ump

Agree with both of you, Jeff and Anony.

humphreycpa

Dang. What a first hour. Two NKOTB, Metallica, Winger, Bette Midler and all the others I missed on my way to the office.

GT25Ump

A bit scattered, isn't it? LOL, 1989, trying to find it's music "identity".

humphreycpa

Funny-we trash 1982 for the same reason, right?

humphreycpa

and now let's add Donny Osmond to the list and soap opera star Michael Damian to balance off G N R laugh-big

Anonymous118992

The big, obvious difference between 1982 and 1989 -- on Billboard at least -- is one has super-slow moving charts and one has crazy-fast moving charts

GT25Ump

You know, that's crazy true. '82 still had some late 70's & country sound to it, but was gradually gaining an "80's identity". Personally, I think '89 was a pretty solid improvement over '87 & '88, though it had alot of variety and gave us a strong dose of the hair band era of the late 80s/early 90's but at least we weren't hearing what the 90's ended up sounding like, lol.

GT25Ump

Who was the Billboard Exec that supposedly screwed with the charts back in the early 80's?

humphreycpa

118992-you nailed it big time! Look how many songs were on the charts and peak positions for 6, 7, 10 weeks and on the 40 for 17-20 weeks in 1982.

Anonymous118992

When else but 1989 could you hear Enya and Metallica in the same countdown?

Jeff

GT25, you mean Bill Wardlow?

GT25Ump

Yes, that's the guy!

Laura

1989 will be featured on the Big 40 on Sirius XM this weekend.

GT25Ump

Good to hear, thanks.

Cjrmack

I got busy at work anyone catch what number 2115 and 2116 were?

Jeff

We're at 2206 now so we haven't gotten to them yet.

Jeff

The Kings double sided song SHCH!

Cjrmack

Sorry I meant 2215 and 2216

Cjrmack

Jeff no doubt on the Kings song. I would say should have made Top 10!!!

Slammin Sam

2216 Neil Diamond - Don't Think.. Feel 2215 Atlanta Rhythm Section - Champagne Jam

Cjrmack

Thanks Sam!

Laura

If anyone watches The Masked Singer, a lot of people are saying Bobby Brown is the Crab.

Laura

Automation cut off "Birthday Suit"

humphreycpa

Happy Friday morning to everyone. Let's all settle in for some oldies and goodies!

humphreycpa

And a shout out to Brock who had early morning duties in Pittsburgh and gets to stay there an extra day as UMass won their game in OT! Congrats Brock and UMass!

Jeff

Prince Philip, husband of Queen Elizabeth II has passed away at age 99.

Brock

Thanks Rod just getting up short night thanks for sticking with us. Still have work to do, but can taste it.

humphreycpa

It was an exciting, great game.

humphreycpa

Question by the Moody Blues. One of those that the 45 is so different than the classic rock station version.

Jeff

Moody Blues... Nice!

Cjrmack

One Tin Soldier was a huge hit is early summer of 1973. Went to #1 for 5 weeks. hit in Southern California

Cjrmack

Only in Sothern California as far as I know kind of strange.

humphreycpa

One Tin Soldier was huge on WLS in Chicago, Number 4 song on the year end countdown in 1974. Just behind Band On the Run, I Honestly Love You and Seasons in the Sun.

humphreycpa

Sam-The Rugbys sound like Rare Earth

Rodney

I was introduced to One Tin Soldier from the 71 Billy Jack movie. I was 7 yrs old... thought Billy Jack was a cool dude!!! smile

Cjrmack

humphrey I was thinking the Rugbys sounded like someone else but couldn't figure it our but you are right it is Rare Earth.

Cjrmack

figure it out

Jeff

You mean "I'm 18" missed being #1818 by only one position?

humphreycpa

I was just typing the same thing Jeff!

Cjrmack

So Close!!!

Jeff

I thought I was hearing Rare Earth also.

Cjrmack

I like both of Bread's harder edged singles they should have been more successful.

Jeff

"Peaceful Easy Feeling" SHCH for sure.

I agree CJ. It would have been nice to hear more rockers from Bread on the charts, though I do like their easy listening songs just the same.

Fried Socks

Sounded like two grooves at the same time at the end of "Stairway To Heaven." Talk about thin grooves...

Slammin Sam

Yep almost eight mins on a 45.

Fried Socks

That has to be the longest song on one side of a 7 inch 45

Slammin Sam

There are several songs close to eight mins long.

Slammin Sam

That song that was played not long ago American city suite

Slammin Sam

Paradise by the dashboard light

humphreycpa

Happy Sunday Sam! Great to hear your voice over the air!

Slammin Sam

Thanks Humphrey

humphreycpa

Great music this afternoon Sam. Have a great evening!

Slammin Sam

Thank you for tuning in Humphrey!

Jeff

Good day! Ready for more Classic Rock. I didn't hear last week's segments. Where did we leave off? Top 60?

Brock

Good morning Sam, Jeff and everyone who joins us today. Great to be back from Pittsburgh, let's Rock and Roll!

Charliebob65

Good morning Sammy, Brock, Jeff and TFO chatters. Took last week off.... needed downtime from work Let's jump right in to some great rock... ...

Charliebob65

Brock... Congrats on the U Mass Champioship!

Brock

Thanks Bobby! Good to be back. What a finish!

Charliebob65

humphreycpa

Good morning all! Brock-you must still be on cloud 9!

Brock

Haha Rod, no work has a way of bringing you back to earth. Again, glad you were able to follow the stretch run.

humphreycpa

That work thing does pose a challenge....thank you for bringing the journey to us over the air!

Cjrmack

The Classic Rock 500 Top 30 will be next week!

Jeff

Sam, what's on the schedule for Mondays when the Classic Rock countdown is finished? .....Or is this top secret until the time comes? smile

Jeff

If "Her Strut" had been the A-side the song probably would have charted higher.

Cjrmack

I agree Jeff

Slammin Sam

Still thinking about that Jeff. I will post something next week.

Charliebob65

Good morning Sammy and TFO chat peeps. Happy Tuesday.. Let us enjoy some great music from the past.

Roberto Rubio

Everytime I hear that part, I think of Kon Kan's hit "I Beg Your Pardon" smile

Brock

Good afternoon Sam, Bobby and my fellow TFO pals. Tuesday morning at the Dentist is always a thrill

Charliebob65

Hey Brock at least you went early ...and didn't wait until tooth-hurty....

Jeff

Ridiculous! The Carpenters song SHCH! Should have been a top 10er.

Let Me Talk should have charted higher! Faces is the only Earth, Wind, and Fire album during their 1974-83 heyday not to have a Top 40 hit on the pop chart in the States.

Cjrmack

No doubt AC-Let Me Talk is a great song!

Cjrmack

I missed 2132 anyone know what it was?

Laura

Ain't Nothing Gonna Keep Me From You - Teri Desario

Cjrmack

Thanks Laura!

Nice extra from Ian Matthews, a great cover of Robert Palmer's song! It should have made it closer to the Top 40.

GT25Ump

Good morning, music lovers. Time for some of the best of 1982!

Brock

Good morning Sam, good morning GT and everyone else tuned in let's go with 82 on Hump Day!

Charliebob65

Morning Sammy, Brock, GT and all TFO'ers Happy Wednesday... On to '82.....

Troy in CA

Brock

Hi Bobby, hi Troy, Happy Wednesday.

humphreycpa

Good morning all TFO listeners. I hope your Tuesday is going well.

Jeff

Today is Wednesday Humphrey. smile

Brock

I need the week to be longer!

humphreycpa

Good grief. I'm trying to make tax season an extra day this year (and yes I know that the actual filing deadline is still a month away!)

Charliebob65

I don't want a longer week... maybe a 5 day weekend and a 2 day work week...with the same pay of course! laugh

humphreycpa

I like the way you think Bobby!

Anonymous120131

David Lasley... Doin Branch, MI proud!

Brock

Great song.

humphreycpa

A few of the gems of spring 1982 in today's segments. A huge debut by a supergroup coming up this segment!

Brock

I knew you would throw that in Rod!

Brock

Good Franke song, just Sweetheart is so far ahead of it.

humphreycpa

Agreed Brock.

Brock

Unavoidable, but a top 10 fried song of the 80's .

humphreycpa

Definitely not a SS by Johnny Cougar

Jeff

Speaking of songs that aren't an SS, what was the debut on last Thursday's countdown that Sam was referring to that drives him crazy? I just couldn't figure out which one it was.

Anonymous120161

I figured it was the New Kids song. Also, what does SS mean?

humphreycpa

SS= Sam Song

Cjrmack

I figured it was either New Kids or "Wind Beneath My Wings"

Slammin Sam

It was wind beneath my wings

Slammin Sam

This week there is one that I hate a thousand times worse!

Brock

Cat Stevens song leaves both of us mystified Sam. 1977=SFY

Laura

I'm almost finished with the big 1973-1982 list. I just need to spellcheck some stuff.

Ben in NC

Trying to figure out Sam's most hated from 1989. Where are you Now?

Anonymous120161

Haven't heard New York City Rhythm since childhood. My parents had the album

Laura

Is that song "Patience"?

Slammin Sam

Where Are You Now I am tired of, But never hated it

Slammin Sam

Yes Laura that is it. I actually feel like that is one of the worst songs ever recorded in the history of music. I have always hated that song with a HUGE PASSION!

Laura

I'm guessing one has to have a lot of Patience to sit through Patience

Laura

Here is the 1973-1982 list: https://we.tl/t-XUeKubinzR

humphreycpa

Thank you Laura.

Anonymous120161

It's funny the coincidences on these charts sometimes. Rhumba Girl was an extra on yesterday's 1979 countdown. Today it's on this countdown. Two days ago, I'd never heard of it!

Brock

I'm offended

Brock

More sports talk shows used the beginning to "Alive Again" than I could count.

Thank you for the list Laura. Hopefully my computer won't lose this list as it did with the 82-91 list. Hopefully I can get that list again someday.

Justice

Thank you Laura. Its wonderful having the whole decade of the 80's now! stars

Justice

AC, the files from Laura are so small. Here they are with the extras..... Top 2500 of 1982-1991.pdf

Justice

Top 2500 of 1982-1991 extras.pdf

Cjrmack

Thank you Laura! Now I do not have to keep bugging anyone asking what the positions are of the songs I missed!

Thank you Justice, it is greatly appreciated!

Laura

You're welcome everyone! I would do an extras list like for that last one but I would have to look through all the playlists and they're all scattered on separate drives.

Laura

Plus I haven't kept track of the ones that have been playing over the past couple weeks

Charliebob65

Good morning Sammy and TFO listeners.. On to 1989....

GT25Ump

Oh yes, bring on '89

Brock

Good morning Sam, Bobby and my fellow TFO pals. Bobby a little dose of March 1st heading our way. Thanks! sad

Brock

GT good morning, too chilly here to call balls and strikes!

GT25Ump

Sorry to hear that, Brock. It's windy and chilly, but I'll be out there later today, jackets required this time of year for sure!

Brock

Yeah GT, MLB umpires with 3 numbers on their jackets this year like the NFL. Don't like it one bit!

humphreycpa

Good morning everyone! I logged on just in time for the metal portion of today's show.

GT25Ump

Agree, there should never be 3-digit numbers, ha.

Interesting I am logged in but it shows me as anonymous

Brock

I've always thought of you as the anonymous type.

Brock

Hi Rod!

humphreycpa

Good morning Brock. I hope all is well.

GT25Ump

Alot of songs I've always really liked that are dropping big time this particular week, such as Don't Tell Me Lies, Crying and this one, More than You Know.

Jeff

Debbie Gibson's down a lot also. sad

Anonymous120401

Songs fell a lot faster in those days

GT25Ump

Another one that I really like, You're Not Alone, took a big drop. Just interesting.... Whatever the case, just love reliving 1989 in my mind as I hear these songs every Thursday and thinking of what was going on in my life when these songs were on the radio.

Cjrmack

"Patience" is to the 1989 countdowns as "I Will Survive" is to the 1979 countdowns! LOL

Anonymous120401

I was heavily into radio/countdowns at this time. I listened to two top 40 shows regularly from 1988 through early 1991, so I'm very nostalgic for this music.

Slammin Sam

Patience is a medley of I will survive, ymca and old time rock and roll. No actually it’s worse!

Roberto Rubio

For me it was from 1986 to 1994 that listened to the top 40 shows.

Cjrmack

My Top 40 heyday was 1973 to about 1977, then I was more into Album rock and shunned the Top 40 so it is good to hear a lot of these songs as they are not burnt for me.

Cjrmack

Especially 1989 a lot of these songs I never heard until now.

Laura

Whoa Patience debuted rather high

Anonymous120401

I figured it would. It moved 40-25 on R&R that week.

Laura

And it still had one week to go before hitting Billboard and maybe Cashbox I see

Laura

It's also been a revolving door at #1 over the past few weeks. Madonna should put a stop to that soon.

Anonymous120401

R&R charts were always further ahead than Billboard. Rick Dees countdowns always seemed to be ahead of AT40, even with Dees using the previous week's chart

Laura

That looks to be how it always worked over there. Casey's Top 40 was like that as well.

Laura

This Supremes song has a little disco it it. Not really familiar with it but Diana Ross was out of there by that time.

Cjrmack

Yes Diana left in early 1970

Jeff

"Clones" didn't even get a shout out until 1989 since Casey wasn't listing the droppers every week yet.

Laura

I'm guessing it was because of a listener question?

Anonymous120401

Probably because that was when Alice Cooper next hit the top 40

Laura

Yeah that seems more likely that it was mentioned then

Anonymous120401

Surprised to hear I Melt With You. Seems pretty fried to me.

When you get to the Sgt. Pepper album you could play that whole album as an extra.

Slammin Sam

No that is illegal

Rodney

WOW!!! LOVE the version of Sunday Morning Coming Down!!! That was a 45 at one time, or on an album? I thought I EVERYTHING that Cash did, but have never heard that version

Rodney

I edited the TV part to the 45 version. That is not on any recording released.

Rodney

Cool... thanks for sharing that... Good Stuff smile

Good stuff again with Those Were the Days

Rodney

Roger Kellaway played the closing theme of All in the Family it's called "Remembering You"). He's got a few albums out there, check them out

Rodney

There's a theme here today. I believe this is the 3rd "Sunday" song. Thought maybe :Never on a Sunday could be played today, but it came out in 1961 smile

Cjrmack

Or "Sugar On Sunday"

Jeff

"Like A Sunday In Salem" hit #40 on Billboard. Did it chart higher anywhere else? It may play today on the 73-82 countdown.

Cjrmack

"Like A Salem In Sunday" charted at 37 on Cash Box where it did best.

Brock

Good morning Sam, good morning guys. Rain and 36 here in the valley with wet snow flakes trying to do something, at my house 9 miles away 400 feet higher, several inches of wet snow and no power for a time. 30 miles northwest of me at 1000 feet 12-15 inches of snow. Good grief.

Slammin Sam

Been raining all week here lows in the 40’s the next few days. Looks like it is bad weather everywhere

Near 90 degrees in S. Florida -- you can send some of the cold this way.

@Brock blame that weather person you recruited from Indiana for the crappy weather. smile

Rodney

ABSOLUTELY great show Sam. Lots and lots of songs I love. Thanks

Slammin Sam

Thanks Rodney

Cjrmack

The songs in general are so short in this time period. You are away 10 minutes and you might miss 4 songs!!! LOL

Rodney

true

Slammin Sam

2:30 to 3:30 is the range of most of the songs during this time period

Cjrmack

Great B Side by the Cars!

Slammin Sam

One of the most underrated songs of the 70’s decade!

Cjrmack

Yes I remember it well as I was mainly into Rock at that point in time. Got a lot of airplay on rock stations.

Brock

Bobby I've never ben to Texas . My goal is to go someday and meet Sam. But he can keep the Texas Summer weather!

Brock

Rod, I'm going to have a word with her!

Brock I agree about the Texas summers July and August are close to Hades temps. Love texas spring and winter weather but i'll keep th WNY summer and fall

Jeff

Bring on the top 30.

HAppy Monday.. Good morning Sammy, Jeff and TFO crew...almost to the end of the Top 500 let's go!

humphreycpa

Good morning Jeff, Bobby and all TFO listeners. I hope all are well on this Monday morning.

Jeff

The countdown looks like it'll end before Noon. Sam, any chance you might go live for the time between and make an announcement about what the future has in store for Monday mornings?

Jeff

That synthesizer solo = GREATNESS!

Slammin Sam

Had already planned on doing that.

Cjrmack

Great news Sam! I caught some of those on Sunday afternoons when you ran them at that time. Looking forward to it.

Slammin Sam

Thanks CJ.

Ben in NC

Excited to hear some countdown shows that I never heard before. Any 80s or 90s shows planned?

Jeff

I don't think I've heard too many of the old Flashback countdowns Sam. It'll be a chance to catch up.

Slammin Sam

Ben these were done 11 years ago and most are 60's and 70's. a few 80's but no 90's. It ran on a different internet oldies station before The Fox and it was early pop music.

Ben in NC

Thanks Sam and keep up the good work. Hope you are feeling better too!

Slammin Sam

I just looked atthe folder and 1981 is as far as it goes into the 80's.

Slammin Sam

Thanks Ben. Feeling fine!

Ben in NC

Great to hear! I was born in 1972 and my musical taste mirrors Casey's last 30 years (79-09) so there is plenty to like on The Fox still.

Hi Bobby and Rod. To the weather geeks, a beautiful New England day here.

Charliebob65

Glad your weather is good Brock... Snow, 2-6 inches, is predicted in WNY over the next 36 hours.... devil

I thought we were done for the year ... That's what I get for thinkin"

GT25Ump

Wow, 2-6 inches, that's rough for April.

humphreycpa

Brock had his share of snow last weekend, so I wasn't going to mention the snow predicted here overnight. Not even close to what you or Brock will see Bobby!

Charliebob65

Morning Cjrmack and GT --- Humphrey, doesn't matter so much the amount of snow... Just annoying that in mid to late April it will still be cold enough to snow cry

Brock

Sorry Bobby sad

GT, the doubleheaders are going to pile up

GT25Ump

No doubt!

Anonymous121533

It's always interesting to me on these old charts when one song leaps over another, but the second song ends up peaking much higher. As seen this week with Love You Inside Out and Renegade.

Jeff

"Y.M.C.A." still in the top half of the chart.

Jeff

24 weeks now!

Jeff

I'd be curious to know how long "I Go Crazy" spent on the countdown. We'd have to listen to the 1978 shows for the answer to that.

Jeff

Meatloaf's songwriter Jim Steinman has passed away at age 73.

Slammin Sam

Wow! What a shame great producer!

humphreycpa

Steinman had a lot of great songs. The range of acts that sang his songs-Meatloaf, Bonnie Tyler, Air Supply, Barry Manilow and his own song.

Laura

Didn't he also produce some of Celine Dion's stuff?

Jeff

"It's All Coming Back To Me Now".

Slammin Sam

All are coming up at 2pm

Brock

Re Steinman, I guess I know what I'm doing tomorrow sad

Jeff

The Celine Dion song is greatness.

humphreycpa

thank you for the tribute songs Sam.

Slammin Sam

Big fan of his work. Sad day.

Charliebob65

Yes Sammy .. Nice touch... He kinda wrote the soundtrack of my youth...esp Bat Out of Hell Album
