ANNUAL REPLAY OF `IT'
- Thread starter coops
- Start date
What a fantastic idea. I'm nothing but happy XM radio. I'm hearing stuff from the '60's that I've never heard before or haven't heard in a very long time!
Radio used to do this type of stuff but they forgot how or the mass audience just didn't get it. XM is for radio and music junkies (like me).

I remember in 77 when my local Top40 station had the "Top1000" hits - they published a list of all the songs - it took a whole newspaper page, so you could follow along. Now the RIAA threatens to sue them (XM) if they publish a list.
Anyhow, this is great to hear all the Top40 songs and then some.
I'm against the XM/Sirius merger because I'm afraid that Mel will kill-off some of these great XM ideas like "IT".

Same with me. The 30's and 40's were too bland and depressing. Did not listen too much. The 50's were like that too until the mid and late 50's. I have been listening to IT more now. The music does get bland again in the 70's and then in the 80's it is the best ever.
I'd love to have a list too...Why would the RIAA care if the list is published after IT is broadcast?
I found a list of no longer valid links for lists by decade. It appears they were published in 2004...by any miracle, did anyone download these documents & save them?BobOnTheJob said:

This is the best thing that I ever heard on radio. Period. :-*
I do have PDF's from four years ago.
Changes to this year's edition (sound bites, same voice over guy on all channels, so far, with historical content of events happenings each fricken month, addition of more Christmas songs and one more station to cover this event).
If I had a playlist for this year's show, I could make a case if complete or missing some songs until then I assume that they tried not to miss anything. In the past, they received complaints about too much country in the 90's.
Once we reached the 90's, the national Pop chart ideawent by the wayside just ask Cashbox magazine or American Top 40 as both went dark during this period. Thus, it gets tough deciding what to play 90's on while the 30's & 40's it's tough to find the songs to play.
I can't wait to hear more.

Just a point of information. My daughter works for the PR firm that represents the RIAA in Washington. When I indicated that it was commonly believed that the RIAA would sue if XM published the list of songs played, she indicated that she did not believe that this was true. She couldn't think of nay legal basis to do so. Maybe someone could get XM to report those pages that are no longer on valid links
Anyone who's ever owned a shortwave radio has got to love the "WWV time tones" that they're broadcasting during IT !

The 60's just loaded for me. Go up five messages to the link about the 60's, right click and copy the shortcut. Go to http://www.archive.org Hi-lite everything in the WAYBACKMACHINE box (http://) right click and paste. The sixties link should now be in that box. Hit take me back.

If you don't have any luck with that website, just send me a message through this board and I can email the PDFs. The ones I have have are from 2004 not sure if they are the same on that website.
