Ladies And Gentlemen, May I Take You Back To 1979-80

[Scott Reppert]

...and look into why WTCS was THE greatest radio station on the face of the Earth. Ever. Period...

David Werner--What's Right?



Ironhorse--Sweet Louise



Tim Curry--I Do The Rock



20/20--Nuclear Boy



Randy VanWarmer--Suzi



McGuinn, Clark And Hillman--Don't You Write Her Off



Be Bop DeLuxe--Panic In The World



Graham Parker--Stupefaction



Sparks--Beat The Clock



And, finally, one of the greatest finds of my YouTube career. We wore out copy after copy of this...

Hansie--Automobile



I would lay good money that someone (me, Conrad, Jeff Audia, Mark Thompson, NLF) probably played most, if not ALL, of those in one airshift...

Of those songs listed above, I have heard exactly none of them. Then again, I was only 4 when those songs dropped.

[Scott Reppert]

You probably shouldn't have heard any of those songs outside of Australia, London or Fairmont, WV! Only two of those songs hit the Billboard Top 40 ("Don't You Write Her Off" and "Sweet Louise") and I think only two of the others ("Suzi" and "I Do The Rock") charted at all. Point being there, Mr. Media, is that there is a ton of great music that gets overlooked, in every era, by every format...

Which is why the whole concept of "format" is in a serious need of reworking.
