But with a catalog so deep, I can’t for the life of me figure out why I keep hearing tracks from “Time”. It’s easily the biggest dog that’s ever been released by the band. I’ve never known of a bigger collection of lazy uninspired songs by one band, capable of so much more.

I know I haven’t given it enough listens but I’m definitely hearing way too much attention paid to Behind The Mask and Time. Clearly the playlists have been “curated” by Mick.

Those two albums are the only ones that make me cringe several times throughout.
On the other hand, I’m hearing lots of interesting b sides and live tracks.
I hope they can get someone in to shape the playlists with more diversity.
It’s an interesting project and I think people will stick with it if they can change up the programming.

I actually appreciate the tracks from BTM and Time. You can hear Gypsy, Dreams, Don't Stop, Go Your Own Way on any channel. I love the deep cuts from less known albums. I wish the inspiration songs were not played as much.
I do think they can still dig deeper. I have heard only one Christine solo song. Nothing from ITM and nothing Lindsey solo yet. They played Nothing Ever Changes by Stevie on Friday. That was cool.
