All I've found on the sitre is a reference to doing this countdown all Labor Day Weekend long (holiday in US, not MAy Day's Labor Day celebration)...

Hey, I barely got to listen to anything today between classes, but what I did hear seemed mostly to be the processed-for-the-masses stuff; not the truly representational stuff that we all seem to appreciate on this web-site. There were a few goodies, but overall it was the stuff you heard on the top 40 stations of the day (Tears for Fears/Shout, the Pretenders/Back on the Chain Gang, REM/whatever stuff they were peddling in the mid-80s, etc- nothing hardcore or even vaguely obscure).

Did you get that vibe too? It kind of bummed me out. I actually tuned out a few times to listen to XMU.[V]

Like the top fave new wave of all time for the masses... got the same vibe, and I still had fun listening to some of the blocks of songs... I'm wondering who compiled the list and chose their position... b/c EATB's The Cutter was at 1340-ish.

I checked rocklists.com (they have fred's 2044 countdown lists from 2002 & 2003), but nothing for 2007. Yet.

That's because XM posted 2002 and 2003 on their website. They haven't posted one again, since. I'm sure it's documented somewhere, but for whatever reason XM chooses not to share it. Sigh. They will likely repeat it one more time--between Christmas and New Year's. Want to assign XM listeners to record at certain times? :P

Thanks for the info, this is Fred's Version 7 (for 2007) they were touting. I tried to make it, but I was cooking breakfast during the last 19, and never found out what Number 1 was...

That's exactly right...XM posted 2002 and 2003 and nothing afterward. Apparently, they're not too responsive to e-mail either. So...it's not likely anything post-2004 will be put on my website (those lists are torture to format/type out anyway).

Until then, you guys will just have to settle for the crapola that are current modern rock radio lists.
