Enough already with Sirius replaying his top 100 lists. Half the songs start late or end early because of his rambling. He is not around anymore!! Move on already!
I like my 70's songs to completion. Let us hear the entire song.

Because son, it is what you are supposed to do.

Have to say though, his voice ranks up there as far as soothing radio perfection.

Knowing what one is talking about is widely admired but not strictly required here.

Although sometimes distracting, there is often a certain entertainment value to this easy standard.

I agree with you. When the top 40s is on, I listen to Classic Rock or the Beatles Channel.

If you don't like the channel, why do you listen to it? Aren't there other channels that play the same genre of music available?

I'm guessing you weren't around to listen to the countdowns at the time? Those Casey Kasem replays of the 70's and 80's countdowns bring back mucho nostalgia for me

Saw this and thought for a moment it was about Kasey Kazee, the Duct Tape Bandit.

I was not a big music fan in the '70s but had a couple of friends who were.. so I got to listen to him every week it seems... but then what I remember most about him is...

Shotgun Tom is on SiriusXM - the '60s channel.

When I had SiriusXM I didn't mind listening to Kasey. My problem was dating the songs and figuring out which week the playlist was supposed to be.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

What channel?? I had no clue his countdowns were on Sirius.
I need to tune in.

My brother and I spent countless hours in front of the boombox just waiting to hit record on the songs we liked!

70s and 80s for sure. Not sure about 60s or 90s.

I remember his voice on the top 40 in the 80’s when I was a kid. He had the perfect voice for radio.
