The Last 10 Songs We Heard on Simon-FM; Greensboro, NC: Not Madonna Again

During the 8:00-9:00 p.m. hour on Sunday night, we heard the following ten songs in order from Simon-FM (98.7-Greensboro,NC), which proclaims to 'play everything' but we haven't heard Turkish pop singer Tarkan on their airwaves yet:)

Two of the songs were from the '60s (1969 to be precise), one song from the '70s, five from the '80s, including "Papa Don't Preach" by Madonna, and two from the '90s including "Better Man" by Pearl Jam.

The disco ball top image is in reference to that lone tune from the '70s, which is "I'm Your Boogie Man" by disco, funk band K.C and the Sunshine Band.

Here is the list:

1. (You Gotta) Fight For Right (To Party), Beastie Boys, 1987

2. Down on the Corner, Creedence Clearwater Revival, 1969

3. You Spin Me Round (Like a Record): Dead or Alive, 1984

4. Better Man, Pearl Jam. 1994.

5. I'm Your Boogie Man, KC and the Sunshine Band, 1977

6. Where the Streets Have No Name, U2, 1987

7. Papa Don't Preach. Madonna. 1986.

8. Whole Lotta Love. Led Zep. 1969

9. Too Shy, Kajagoogoo, 1983.

10. Mary Jane's Last Dance. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, 1993.

Ten Songs We Heard on 98.7 Simon-FM (Greensboro, NC): We Mistook New Edition for the Jackson Five

We made two mistakes when we were listening to Simon-FM (98.7-Greensboro, NC) last night: First, we mistook Lionel Richie (pict. top) for The Commodores, the band he was in before going solo, with Song #2, and then later we assumed "Candy Girl" by New Edition with a young Bobby Brown was from the Jackson Five. But, hey isn't that Wikipedia is for?

Here are the first ten songs we heard during the 9:00-10:00 hour on that radio station last night:

1. Cherry Pie. Warrant. 1990.

2. Easy. The Commodores. 1977.

3. 867-5309/Jenny. Tommy Tutone. 1981 (image #2)

4. I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow. The Soggy Mountain Boys. 2002.

5. More Than a Feeling. Boston. 1976.

6. La Bamba. Los Lobos. 1987.

7. Bad Girls. Donna Summer. 1979 (image #3, it is a disco tune)

8. Janie's Got a Gun. Aerosmith. 1989.

9. Candy Girl. New Edition. 1983.

10. Moneytalks. AC/DC. 1990
