Hot 106 #1: “The Joker”

Some time ago, in an effort to (futilely) improve "classic rock radio" that ultimately amounted to a lot of primal-scream-type-therapy, I came up with a list of 106 songs that should be banished to "classic rock hell" for all eternity. Being the most excellent stewards of rock that we are, my friend Kent Caudle (of Pirate George Letters fame) and I continue our efforts to replace said songs with much better alternatives.

Taking it from the top, today's entry is all about the first song on that list: "The Joker" by Steve Miller. Kent jumps in by asserting his right to eschew Steve Miller altogether. I weigh in more diplomatically on this one.

Hot 106 #4: “Won’t Get Fooled Again”

A short time ago, I posted a list of 106 "classic rock" songs that need to be banished to classic rock hell. Friends and bloggers are taking me to task for that list and so, in the interest of fair play and better radio (and as promised), my pal Kent and I will be building a better list to replace the tired and prosaic with the inscrutable and superior.

Let's jump right in with song #4 on the list: "Won't Get Fooled Again" by The Who. My pal Kent and I each decided on two very different Who songs to replace it.
