BONUS: Live 105's "Thanks for 30 Years" Weekend (Part 1)

10 years ago, Live 105 celebrated its 20-year anniversary by playing the top 10 songs of each year every hour. After the October 1 date passed this year without any kind of celebration, I kind of figured Live 105 had forgotten about its own anniversary. Turns out, they were saving it for later.

This Thanksgiving Weekend, Live 105 is doing a "Thanks for 30 Years" Weekend, where they play songs from each year of its existence every hour. It's not in a structured list form (especially since they stopped doing year-end lists in 2008) but rather songs that exemplified those particular years. (Some of these songs weren't even getting airplay in the years represented, but they at least came out in those years.) Live 105 has been around for 30 years, and the alternative format has gone through many phases. It's fun seeing them all captured here.

I'm going to list what's been played so far here. After that, I may limit it to just some interesting song selections.
