AT40 Weekly Playlist

[zimm7778]

I have just started over the last couple of months regularly listening to AT40 on the 70s station. This weeks show was by far the worst I have heard as far as the butchering of extras, intros, outros, etc. I know they do this for all of them, but the way it sounded this week was awful...at least to me.

OML71: Unless I'm on a roadtrip and I have a want to listen to the 70s, AT40 is about the only time I listen to the station, too.

And yes, the editing job is pathetic, disgusting and an embarassing butchering of a great show that these jagoffs can't help but want to do nothing more than ruin the feel of the original. But since Sirius hired these axe murderers, WE'RE the ones who suffer the most.

Also, Casey's outro to "Crocodile Rock", at #27, was actually spliced in somehow from the previous week, when it was #13!

Will there be additional countdowns posted as they air?

[johnnyelectron]

a really good anal music lover spent years assembling the best orignal LP copies of AT 40 into remastered digital audio for use on XM and other outlets; then all his hard work (getting the actual edited or 'radio version' of songs, has gone to waste as Sirius chops the living sh*t out of the shows, worse than my local AM did when they first aired these LP's of the show. We're paying the bucks, so leave the shows the f-alone and leave them like they were remastered by the master for broadcast = please!

[mkarns]

Assuming they play what they've indicated, and don't cut anything out (no pre-70s oldies here, so absolutely no excuse):
