	9:41pm Lou v: Classic xyl on that one!!
	9:43pm paparay: Here's a Siouxsie I never heard any DJ's play. I never understood why. I think it got overshadowed by their cover of The Passenger.

	9:54pm paparay: I was at a friend's house around Christmas 1991 and someone brought a cassette of all these great WLIR tunes and this version was on the tape. Imagine my joy!
	9:54pm Lou v: It’s hard to switch up the doo doer. Gotta be loyal to the people who tough your hair, I get that

	10:08pm paparay: @ Bruce S: Yes, music was put in their categories and all that. The clubs I frequented played a wide variety. Jamaican radio mixed it up when I was living there in the 70's.
	♥ 10:10pm Bruce S.: I guess wbls played the best mix of stuff on the radio
	♥ 10:11pm Bruce S.: I thought kiss fm was good in the 80s
	10:13pm paparay: Both urban stations were very good. I enjoyed them a whole lot.
	10:15pm paparay: WBLS would play the occasional modern rock/dance tune. Which would be new wave or post punk or underground. Or the odd rock tune by Bob Dylan or Gary "U.S." Bonds or a Southside Johnny tune.
	♥ 10:17pm Bruce S.: Frankie Crocker knew what he was doing
	♥ 10:17pm Barney Grubbs: De la soul sampled this whatnauts track?

	9:54pm paparay: I was at a friend's house around Christmas 1991 and someone brought a cassette of all these great WLIR tunes and this version was on the tape. Imagine my joy!
	9:54pm Lou v: It’s hard to switch up the doo doer. Gotta be loyal to the people who tough your hair, I get that

	10:13pm paparay: Both urban stations were very good. I enjoyed them a whole lot.
	10:15pm paparay: WBLS would play the occasional modern rock/dance tune. Which would be new wave or post punk or underground. Or the odd rock tune by Bob Dylan or Gary "U.S." Bonds or a Southside Johnny tune.
