Monday: Simon and Garfunkel, "Bridge Over Troubled Water" (1970)
Since it was the day after The Grammys, we played a classic Grammy winner. In 1971 "Bridge Over Troubled Water" took home a number of awards. We chose a deeper cut with "Why Don't You Write Me."

Tuesday: Soft Cell, "Non Stop Erotic Cabaret" (1981)
"Tainted Love" was the biggest smash from this record. We dropped the needle on another single from this record, "Bedsitter."

Wednesday: Herman's Hermits, "Blaze" (1967)
This was an MGM U.S. only release from the British band, Herman's Hermits. No big hits from this album, but a cool Donovan cover. We played the cover of "Museum."

Thursday: The 5th Dimension, "Greatest Hits On Earth" (1972)
It just so happened to be Florence LaRue's birthday when we chose this record for Random Vinyl. "Puppet Man" featured the vocals of the chicks in the band, Florence LaRue and Marilyn McCoo.

Friday: The Pretenders, "Pretenders" (1979/80)
Steve and I came to the agreement that Chrissie Hynde is one of the most badass chicks in the history of rock n' roll music. We played "Mystery Achievement," a song one doesn't often hear on the radio these days.
