The Decemberists jump on the 80sesque bandwagon for their newest album. I'm guessing it's inescapable on the Current.

Tracy Chapman – Fast Car
Maybe I'll get back to playing some 2017 stuff but I felt like playing this for some reason.
AC/DC – Back in Black
Sigh, I meant this to be for yesterday. Now the Black Friday connection doesn't work at all...
Robert Palmer – Addicted to Love
Patti Smith – People Have the Power
It's Election Day!!!!!!
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers – Here Comes My Girl
Okay, sorry, please allow me one more...
I've talked about this several times, but I was subjected to so many shitty songs over and over again at my first job thanks to their strict policy of only Cities 97ing. It made me hate so many bands that I might have actually enjoyed (as mentioned, it took me years and years to finally realize that The Replacements ≠ Paul Westerberg solo crap). I heard Tom Petty five million times on that station, however, it somehow never phased me. Sure, some songs I wasn't as crazy about as others, but they didn't make me cringe as whichever Jackson Browne song I'd heard 3 times in the last 2 days. Whatever, I'm not sure where I'm going with this, but I just wanted to play one more.
This was one of the songs that, when it would pop on that abominable radio station they played at that job, I would kick back and enjoy. Maybe she would come in again, like that one time they played this song and I hoped she would come in and she somehow actually did. It never happened again after that, but I always hoped it would.
Thanks, man. I'll miss you.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers – The Waiting
...till next season is the hardest part. (Also watch out for the f-bomb in the storytelling at the beginning.)
Priests – Young Turks
Let's see if I can find anything else on AV Undercover. I mean, Priests are pretty good. And everybody likes Rod Stewart.
