On Rob Russell's Radio, 1985-93

I guess I'm probably best suited to answer Rob's inquiry, seeing as I was usually in the adjacent room from at least '88-'93. Scanning my iPod (greatest . . . invention . . . ever), here's a sampling of what I would say you tuned into over those years. Of course, since they're already on my iPod, it means I have them in electronic format if you want them, thereby saving you the 99 cents and effort, but here goes.
