Re-Doing the Top 10 of July 1983

Dave and Milt introduce an episode built around listener survey results rewriting the Billboard Top 10 for July 30, 1983, after voters overwhelmingly chose to boot Sergio Mendes’ “Never Gonna Let You Go.” They preview covering survey comments next week, plug pod617.com, and detour into Dave interviewing Battle of the Network Stars captain Greg Evigan on a Beatles podcast. The listener-created countdown replaces the original Top 10 with your choices, with anecdotes about ads, lyrics, MTV videos, and chart history. They pick winners, kick out “Saved by Zero” and “I’m Still Standing,” and shout out near-misses like Jackson Browne’s “Lawyers in Love.”   Topics 02:00 Getting Older Hangovers 04:43 Battle Network Stars Clip 08:55 Survey Top 10 Setup 10:12 Songs Voted Off 13:08 Listener Countdown Begins 13:36 Saved by Zero Deep Dive 27:07 Promises Promises Facts 34:40 Faithfully Breakdown 41:07 Prince Clears Purple Rain 41:49 Tambourine Jealousy Story 42:10 Bryan Adams Writes Heaven 42:41 Earnestness Debate Faithfully 44:51 Steve Perry Sopranos Holdout 49:46 Cuts Like a Knife Breakdown 52:37 Na Nas And Video Trivia 54:32 Billy Joel Stiletto Connection 56:37 Cheers Coach And Brady Bits 58:34 R E M Radio Free Europe 01:05:04 Hall Of Fame Top Five 01:05:46 Elton Im Still Standing 01:13:56 Def Leppard Rock Of Ages 01:22:00 Def Leppard Live Hits 01:22:37 Mellencamp Concert Talk 01:23:14 Sharp Dressed Man 01:25:04 Eliminator Sound Shift 01:28:24 Iconic Cars Debate 01:30:31 Weezy Top Mashup 01:32:56 White Wedding Origins 01:36:14 Punk Roots Doc 01:40:51 Prince Wins Vote 01:43:05 1999 Chart History 01:45:26 Shared Vocals Breakdown 01:47:29 New Master Remix 01:50:08 Recap And Winners 01:52:26 Kickouts And Near Misses 01:56:29 Ferryman Deep Cut 02:03:19 Wrap Up And Plugs
