I didn't think they were that rare. I think being able to make cd's of Casey and the countdown and adding the true 45 versions would be awesome. I can dream...]]> Sun, 09 Aug 2020 22:47:52 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9368&PID=55201&title=ot-80s-countdown-show-memories#55201 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9368&PID=55183&title=ot-80s-countdown-show-memories#55183 Author: Paul Haney

You can hear some full shows on the Mixcloud website. However, they usually get taken down eventually. Still, people
keep trying to load them there. Same goes for YouTube. Some full shows stay up for awhile.

I wish the online iHeart channel was better. They seem to repeat the same shows over and over again.

What would be great is an on-demand channel, where you could pick and choose which shows to listen to. I'd pay for that
in a heartbeat!]]> Sun, 09 Aug 2020 04:48:48 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9368&PID=55183&title=ot-80s-countdown-show-memories#55183 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9368&PID=55181&title=ot-80s-countdown-show-memories#55181 Author: dacs2000

Yes, I can vouch for that I've been looking for years
for good copies of AT40 shows, but several boards that
discuss the Casey's AT40 strongly forbid the sharing,
swapping, and downloading of actual programs. Someone
did give me a heap of badly encoded mp3s of the shows,
such as the joints (which happen every three to five
minutes) are all horribly messed up, but getting good
copies is close to impossible, unless you purchase
them from the licensed operator, who I believe is

Now that you mention it, I do remember reading the
story about him killing his wife. Being a lifelong
east coast guy, wasn't as familiar with who's who on
the west coast.

Agree with NAC being one of those ideas that sounded
better on paper than on the air. Way too many
unfamiliar songs...the show often avoided hit singles
in their countdown, but other than rock tracks on AOR
stations, not many album cuts got airplay.

I don't think it was still around by the mid 80s (AOR as
a format was somewhat in decline by then), but there was
a show called National Album Countdown in the late 70s.
Not strictly rock, but featured cuts (not necessarily
singles) from the top 30 LPs.
A bit of Googling reveals that it was hosted by someone
by the name of Humble Harv Miller.

Westwood One had a syndicated show called "Rock Week" with
current AOR tracks, though I can't remember if it was
structured as a countdown.

But based on the descriptions, the snark sounds a lot like
Scott Shannon or Dan Ingram.]]> Fri, 07 Aug 2020 15:28:00 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9368&PID=55165&title=ot-80s-countdown-show-memories#55165 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9368&PID=55162&title=ot-80s-countdown-show-memories#55162 Author: Paul Haney

"Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid" peaked at #13 on the R&R AC chart.

EDIT: See Doug beat me to it. :)
