Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

I can always go for another listen to Lene's Lucky Number. I know it's from 1978 but it always reminds me of 1983 because that's when my brother's then-girlfriend played it in our house over and over and over.

it did fade early-you were generous with its play time
