Lithium (90s alt/grunge)

90s on 9 (pop hits)

Classic Rewind (70s/80s classic rock)

Bluesville

 
FYI the description of Classic Rewind is:

Hit the rewind button for classic rock from the cassette years. Boston, The Cars, Van Halen, Foreigner and more from the late '70s and '80s.

One of the hosts is Alan Hunter, one of the original MTV VJs. 

 
Going through the First Wave playlist now.

Cities in Dust is another one of those songs that I'd heard before but had no idea what it was called.

I'd forgotten how good Let Me Go is.

I probably hadn't heard Doot Doot in, oh, 35 years. 

 
Somebody took this in one of our 100s of drafts, and I have been listening to this album a ton since then.   I want to say I have either Zilla or Tufnel to thank for that, but I am not 100%.

Round 25:

Classic Rewind channel

Last night I looked at this channel's recent playlist and determined quickly what it is going for. In the earliest days of MTV, before the videos from Thriller changed everything, the videos the channel played mostly fell into two categories. The first category is the stuff that fits the First Wave format. The material from this channel is the second category. You could call it classic rock from 1976 to 1990, but it's not a mix that existed on radio at the time, only on MTV. It's the AOR of the time (Journey, Bob Seger, the Cars, etc.), but also what the hard rock and prog scenes had evolved into -- think Rush's Moving Pictures or the early '80s Genesis albums. 

Basically, if they played at the US Festival or are similar to the acts that did, they fit on this channel. With that in mind, I'm taking a song by one of my favorite acts from the era, which was not featured much on the radio (at least in Philly) and which I probably would not have come across if not for MTV.

Lay It on the Line -- Triumph

The first concert I ever attended without my parents was Triumph and Yngvie Malmsteen at the Spectrum in 1986. 

 
Round 25

Classic Rewind

Originally planned on taking this as a 1 hit wonder in the jukebox draft. Due to snipes I had to take something else from this year. I actually used to own the cassette of this forgotten local band as I liked their 1 hit.

707-I Could Be Good for You

 
Round 26.xx

Cateogry: Classic Rewind (Hits from the 70s and 80s)

Song: O-o-h Child

Artist: The Five Stairsteps

Not sure if this fits the cassette portion or guitar-driven part of the show that Pip was talkin' 'bout, but this was on AOR stations in the eighties still. On stations like KISS 95.7 FM and WTIC 96.5 in Hartford, pre-Clear Channel. That's where I was introduced to it, anyway.

I think I brought this up in the jukebox draft but I'll mention it again. One of my high school buddies was drummer in an alt-rockish/melodic-punk-ish trio. The other members were a singer/guitarist (male) and a singer/bassist (female), who spilt songs and lead vocals evenly. In 1996-ish the band was courted by a major label that was looking for the next Veruca Salt. The label offered them a contract on the condition that the woman do all the singing. The band said no and stayed on independent labels. 

 
Round 25

Lithium (90s)

Tripping Daisy - Pr!ck

These guys had a cup of coffee on mainstream radio waves with a couple kind of quirky numbers, which is kind of why this deeper cut took me back a little when I heard it.

ETA: You seriously can't say ##### on here?

Great find, that definitely rocks and easily could be a classic rock staple.
