Agree that if next week is not 1982, then 10/30/82 is a good bet. That probably means we won't hear 11/13/82 this year--another one on my wish list that, like 10/19/85, it hasn't aired since 2009. In fact, there are five shows that were played during a six week period between mid-October and mid-November 2009 that haven't been aired since, and are high on my wish list this time of year: 10/4/86, 10/19/85, 11/13/82, 11/15/80, and 11/19/83. Maybe they knock those all out next year? I could see 11/15/80 being played this year, as we get 1980 this weekend and mid-November isn't too soon after. For the others, we've already missed the boat for the October 1985 and 1986 shows, and the November 1982 and 1983 ones would likely only be played if, as you note, there are no A's or standalones from those years before then. Since we haven't had any such shows since August those would be two pretty long gaps.

Optional extras from the previous airing of 10/12/85 (October 15-16, 2011): Hour #1: "Broken Wings" - Mr. Mister (#41) Hour #2: "I Miss You" - Klymaxx (#49) Hour #3: "Perfect Way" - Scritti Politti (#50) Hour #4: "Party All The Time" - Eddie Murphy (#72) "Broken Wings" was poised to break into the top 40 the following week, and it would be the only debut for 10/19/85. One of six times that happened during the 70's and 80's combined, and the only one of those six where the lone debut song would make it to #1. Yeah - the lone debut usually was bad news, as it tended to fare poorly on the charts. Teddy Bear - Red Sovine: #40, its only week on. Tumbling Dice - Linda Ronstadt: #32, but only three weeks on. Sartorial Eloquence - Elton John: #39, only two weeks on. Broken Wings - Mr. Mister: #1!! Just Like Heaven - The Cure: #40, its only week on. (It's Just) The Way That You Love Me - Paula Abdul: #3 So it was either feast or famine for single debuts in the 70s and 80s - the songs either hit the Top 3 or missed the Top 30 completely. The next two times it happened, one of the songs ("Love Makes Things Happen" by Pebbles & Babyface) peaked in the teens and the other ("Good Stuff" by the B-52's) peaked in the 20s.

^I almost posted the list, but couldn't remember the fate of each of those. The Red Sovine song is especially interesting:
-The only debut (the week of 8/28/76) -Debuted at #40, which ended up being its peak position -Spent only one week in the top 40 -Was Red Sovine's only top 40 hit
"Just Like Heaven" qualifies for three of these four, but the Cure would have a decent amount more chart success over the next few years, including a #2 hit.

The album version of Madge's 'Lucky star' was played on the 9-29-84 show. Just got around to listening to this and it was a treat! I also liked the remix on the "Immaculate Collection", but glad they stayed true to the time period by not playing that version.

I may have posted this before, but Red Sovine -- who had a lot more success on the country chart -- did a cover of Eric Clapton's " Lay Down Sally" in the late winter-early spring 1978, which musically was very similar to Ol' Slowhand's. Sovine's version peaked at No. 70 on the country chart and probably was one of his last songs that got any semblance of airplay before his death almost two years later. (I know that my local country station played both the Clapton and Sovine versions. I was 6 at the time and also recall the station giving loads of airplay to Bonnie Tyler's " It's a Heartache" about that same time in the spring of '78.) Brian

Question: Where was the LDD of "You Needed Me" placed, as well as the archive song "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"? The version of the chart on the oldradioshows site seems to have eliminated all the extras for some odd reason.

"You Needed Me" was after #24 ("How Do I Survive?") and "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" after #23 ("No Night So Long").

Had to chuckle on the 1980 show today when Casey commented that Kenny Loggins' "I'm Alright" came from a movie that had not done well at the box office. For two reasons: 1) It would only take a couple of years and a lot of airings on pay-cable TV for "Caddyshack" to become the cult comedy classic it remains today. 2) Two and three songs after Loggins' hit came two other movie songs from films that REALLY bombed, and are NOT cult classics today, "Late In the Evening" at #6, from "One Trick Pony", which proved that starring actor Paul Simon should stick to writing songs and singing, and "Driving My Life Away" at #5 from the all-but-forgotten "Roadie", starring that other great actor, Meat Loaf!

Rodney Dangerfield made "Caddyshack" a cult classic-No doubt about it!

Don't forget "Xanadu" a movie that had a better soundtrack than the movie. The only thing I remember from that movie was roller skating, and everyone looked like they swallowed Barium. There was an actor by the name of Michael Beck who also starred in one of my favorite cult classic films The Warriors from 1979. Another footnote about "I'm Alright"-The backing vocals were sung by the late great Eddie Money.

Wasn't Meat Loaf featured in that mother of all cult films "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"? (Although given how weird that movie is, that fact probably proves your tongue-in-cheek comment about him.)
