  1. Thanks, Lucky. Nice to be back.

    As for the previous post, yes, I threw in a few more-popluar numbers, to keep the playlist more indicative of what it was like listening to top 40 radio back in the day.

    However, I avoided a lot of the Tainted Love, Our Lips Are Sealed- type songs that are still played over and over again on oldies and 80's stations. While I have a few 'common' songs on the playlist, the affect I was going for is for the listener to say to themselves, "Oh man. I remember this song", or, "Oh, I used to like this song and haven't heard it for years".

    For anyone who's given it a chance, I hope you're enjoying it. :cool:

  2. Hi all. I wanted to tell you about a new internet radio station (or "playlist") that I've developed over at Imeem.

    As a 1982 high school graduate, I spent many a day from 8th grade through senior year, listening to the Casey Kasem countdowns. I think I knew the words to every song on the radio.

    Anyway, many of the songs from that era made a one or two week appearence in the Top 40 and disappeared into oblivion. Others made nice chart runs, but are rarely heard on oldies or 80's stations these days.

    That's why I developed my playlist. There are about 240 songs on it right now (and I'm adding more every day). Take a peak and give it a listen. I'm sure it'll jog your memory some (maybe in a bad way, LOL).

    Enjoy and feel free to comment.

    Also, does Peaches still post here?

  3. Junior! Yay! I missed you and your station. It pains me to say that my work web filter will not allow me to hear your station. Again, my tiny little heart is broken. But I can't wait to get home and listen to it. :grin:

    Your work filter won't let you listen, huh? That may be one of the bad things about the new station format. That really sucks.

    Maybe you can give the link to my station to your IT-guy at work. If he likes 80's music, maybe he'll unblock it. ;)

  4. I love Flash & The Pan!!! I nominated "Hey St Peter" some Top ten before... :cool:

    Your radio is just :bow: :bow: ;)

    Thank you for the kind words.

    I'm sure a lot of people never even heard that song. I'm finding out the difficulty of programming a station. I'm trying not to program all the familiar stuff that you can hear everyday on any 80's station, but, at the same time, if I get too obscure, people might be inclined to turn it off. It' definitely a balance.

  5. :laughing:

    Hey, wait a minute. I love Chris Daughtry! Did you just call me sixteen, too? Because that would be a supreme compliment. :grin:

    I was just joking. If you look, the member who said they were listening to Daughtry, is, in fact, sixteen. :)

  6. Hello, gang. I posted this on one of the other forums, as well.

    If anyone's interested, i have my own internet station.

    Here's the link:

    It is mostly upbeat 80's music, although it's not your common mix you hear on most 80's stations. You will hear a lot of songs you haven't heard in years, and even some great lost songs that you may never have heard at all.

    I hope you enjoy it.
