Even though SXM is showing 1974 this week, BMR (bobbymagicradio) is showing 1974 today as well. The only difference - deeper playlist on BMR than SXM.

Oh, wow, this board knows its stuff! It was indeed "Lowdown", and it didn't feel out of place on any of those channels. I think the same would be true for "What a Fool Believes", too. I'm not sure that "Stayin Alive" was heard on rock radio back in the day, and might be a little to upbeat for The Bridge, but it certainly cut across many demographics. On a side note, I would like to ask: What the hell is that First Wave channel supposed to be? What do "Love is the Drug", "Hold Me Now" and "I Want to Be Sedated" have to do with each other? I can't figure out that room at all! The 1st Wave channel is 80's alternative, so those songs all fit into that into that category.

So Roxy Music's Top 30 hit from 1976, The Thompson Twins' million-seller #3 hit from 1984 and a 1978 release by punk rock bands are all 80's alternative? I am struggling with that term, I guess. Alternative to what?

I'm just saying what the description of the channel says. I think "wave" is the key word, as in New Wave which in the late 70's/early 80's was an alternative to disco, rock and am pop.

If memory serves me correctly, 4/17/76 seems about right.

Can anyone clarify for me what show was played on 3/30/13? I was on vacation and missed it. I know it was 1971 -- was it 3/27/71 or 4/3/71?

May be subject to change, but if it stands, 4/22/78 will be played.

Yes, all of the singles from the "Fleetwood Mac" album were remixed for single release. Over My Head, Say You Love Me and Rhiannon were all remixed. By the way all of these mixes are bonus tracks on the 2004 reissue of the album.

Well, it's bad enough that SXM cuts out the listener's questions and any song prior to 1970, now they're editing out the stories too. There was a story about Fleetwood Mac's stolen name prior to Rhiannon, but that was cut out. How pathethic. Next, they'll edit out Casey too. Really frustrating, and disappointing, too. It explains why he said, "And now the real, genuine, authentic Fleetwood Mac". It just makes no sense without the story he told (but they cut). More vexing: why did they leave in the "Whatever happened to Gerry Goffin?" story, which was long-winded, not really interesting, and nothing to do with the song that preceded it or followed it? Why not cut that?

The SXM shows are getting to the point where it's almost not even worth listening anymore. it seems as if they go back and figure out what else they can cut out that they haven't already on a weekly basis. Yeah, it only seems like a matter of time before they just play the songs in order of the chart with no DJs involved.

The station bobbymagicradio in Chicago is doing what SXM should be doing - and that is play all the top 40 or top 100 hits from a certain year in chronological order like XM did with IT.

Sirius XM played the 03.27.1971 show the weekend of March 30, 2013.

Yep, I would say 1978 is suspect this weekend since Premiere is playing the 04.27.1978 show.

I too noticed the Fleetwood Mac stolen name story had been deleted this past weekend. I don't understand the programming schedule. Why not start at noon ET and do a 2 1/2 hour show every weekend (except for 4 hour shows)? What's so important to end at 2:20ish?
If the shows were editied to fit into 2 1/2 hour time limit - I might understand - but 2:20? Sirius just go back to regular programming.
Leave in the stories, leave in the pre-70 extra songs. Sirius XM shows you it is AT40 - the 70's. You're listening to a show - and these things are part of the show.
