We discussed about 40 songs that were voted into Top 885, about 25 got cut. We kept a few that were def debatable (Run-DMC, maybe 2-3 others), but I don’t think any of songs above were close enough to get into 885. Other songs had MORE versions (Hallelujah 26! Creep 30!) and some made 885.
The Zutons!
That is a good point. We overruled our own rules on that one :)
Starting a white board in the programming office! Send your ideas my way - [email protected] - we prob ran thru 20ish concepts this spring/summer before locking in on Covers after seeing reaction to covers on a #TbT
We went back and forth and decided it felt like a cover, a cultural event, and many voted for it. We tried to keep songs that got a large number of votes in, not out. Another that stayed was Gloria by Patti, but we cut Because the Night. All 3 could be argued either way. Hope u enjoyed 885!
Long as you need!
Thank you!!
The Isle of Misfit Toys is where it’s at! Thx for voting and listening!
One of my jobs the past week was trying to “land the plane” and time out the #XPNCountdown to end around 6p-ish today - this is my worksheet as I was scheduling (and rescheduling) each day, adding hours as needed, artist interviews, and trying to have it all time out. Who needs a computer?
SO true!! (Says the guy who voted for John Cale’s Hallelujah!)
