80s0n8 Big 40 Countdown Schedule

[HecticArt]

I'm sure she hearts her signing bonus for the new gig, and won't be hurting if they go under.

The Mrs will be thrilled if Martha is still on SXM in some capacity.

It would be most disappointing to have lost Martha Quinn on the Sirius XM

Hope not

She was not there?

 

[semipenguin]

She was not there?

I didn't hear her, & the others didn't mention her. I did hear a promo with Martha's name, but that was it

 

[microbob]

She could be on vacation although Sirius may have an issue with Martha working for the competition.

[sadchild]

As always, pre-83 is quite painful, but the first 9 songs and the top 5 (minus Air Supply) were pleasant.


38. DOUBLE DUTCH BUS- FRANKIE SMITH
Heard this for my first time on an earlier VJ Big 40, love it. So bizarre yet so fun. Reportedly this is where Snoop Dogg got his "Fo shizzle my nizzle" from - "Dizzouble Dizzutch!!"

35. LADY YOU BRING ME UP- COMMODORES
Forgot about this one. Nice little disco number.

34. A LIFE OF ILLUSION- JOE WALSH
Forgot about this one too. Decent jam.

31. IT’S NOW OR NEVER- JOHN SCHNEIDER
27. TOUCH ME WHEN WE’RE DANCING- CARPENTERS
I think I barfed a little into my mouth when these ones came on.

28. THE STROKE- BILLY SQUIER
Alan Hunter: "It's time to stroke - Billy Squier"
Me: "Uh - no thanks."

16. BOY FROM NEW YORK- MANHATTAN TRANSFER
This group is always nails on a chalkboard to me.

14. AMERICA- NEIL DIAMOND
8. THEME FROM THE “GREATEST AMERICAN HERO”- JOEY SCARBURY
Soft spot for these two. Guilty pleasure songs.

6. ELVIRA- THE OAK RIDGE BOYS
Dear lord, no...

Missing Martha. Gone for two weeks straight now. No 'Martha is on vacation this week' announcement both times. :/

 

[HecticArt]

34. A LIFE OF ILLUSION- JOE WALSH
Forgot about this one too. Decent jam.

That was a song from my youth. Every time I hear it now, I think of 40 Year Old Virgin.

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

I do get a bit tired of Alan Hunter calling music from this time as the good, the bad and the ugly. He claimed that next week's 1987 would not be that way but all countdowns have the same mix. Just because it was played on MTV does not necessarily make it good.

[sadchild]

34. IT'S NOT OVER ('TIL IT'S OVER) - STARSHIP
29. IN TOO DEEP - GENESIS
A friend of mine saw the movie Playing For Keeps and loved it, so I got subjected to the soundtrack for months. These two are on it (well, a different guy sang "It's Not Over" but same song).

31. SEVEN WONDERS - FLEETWOOD MAC
Classic album.

30. HEARTS ON FIRE - BRYAN ADAMS
Totally missed this era of Bryan Adams. First time I've ever heard this song. Five singles from this album and I don't know any of them.

25. BACK IN THE HIGH LIFE AGAIN - STEVE WINWOOD
Classic album.

22. LUKA - SUZANNE VEGA
Classic song.

13. GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS - MOTLEY CRUE
I was a huge Crue fan (Devil and Theater), but when this album came out, I thought it was junk. This song and "Wildside" are okay, and "Nona" is a nice little ditty, but overall the album was a huge disappointment. Fortunately the next album Dr Feelgood was 10x better.

12. HEART AND SOUL - T'PAU
Never understood the appeal of this song.

9. I WANT YOUR SEX - GEORGE MICHAEL
2. SHAKEDOWN - BOB SEGER
Beverly Hills Cop 2, baby! Yeah I know #15 was on there too, but that one's garbage.

4. DON'T DISTURB THIS GROOVE - THE SYSTEM
How did a song get to #4 when I was 16 years old - and I'd never heard it even once?

 

[semipenguin]

I remember Don't distrub this Groove. Good song

That one has always been an 80's favorite of mine also!

I like it better than Sunglasses at Night.
