This time Roger looks at a month when disco was literally blowing up and people were going to the movie house to see a haunted house. On the charts, there was a danceable dirge, a self-pitying single man, some regional obscenities, a Fleetwood Mac-assisted ode to aspiring musicians, masked cowboy mockery, and a soda pitchman's one (and mercifully only) hit.

In the 60s, London Bridge didn't quite fall down, but it was torn down, bought by an American chainsaw tycoon, and rebuilt in Arizona. And NBC turned it into a TV special starring Carlton Banks' favorite singer, along with a bunch of movie and TV stars and pop's top brother-sister act of the day. Roger watched it, and he's going to tell you all about it.

Roger's running a month behind, but he's still here, and this episode completes his second journey through all the years from 1970-1999. In the month when dinosaurs ruled the box office, the charts featured some remixed cartoon crooning, a lot of concern for our world, a Eurovision winner, hippieish hip-hop, and the crowning achievement of Swedish to English lyricism.

This time Roger goes back to a time when Gremlins and Ghostbusters were about to hit the screens and metal fans tore up the world's most famous arena. On the charts, there was a story of escaping bigotry for a better life, a big band throwing something together to fulfill a contract, swinging mood swings, an exhausted dark lord, rock and jazz legends embracing new sounds, a comedienne going retro, and the end of the world.

This time we go back 44 years to look at songs that were not quite hits. You might even say they were not quite not quite hits. Among them were a tale of a publicity stunt gone wrong, a legend trying to cope with disco, an ex-glam musician hitting the floor, and two different takes on country music.

This time Roger goes back to a time when a geologist claimed to be Jesus and Bewitched was still making new episodes for some reason. The hits of the day included a retro raveup, a tale of a kid from the American southwest who goes whatever the old timey version of viral is, the Chicano national anthem, a street racing story, some modified Poe, and a couple guys who did something questionable near a playground.

This week Roger goes back to the month to when the world got a glimpse of Darth Vader's childhood and Erica Kane finally got what was coming to her. On the charts, there was the latest from one of Florida's greatest gifts to the world, a dance hit driven by pants and puppetry, a boy band's confusing request, a New Kid becoming a man, a cover of some proto-Chipmunk nonsense, and a playful phallic euphemism for a new generation.

Roger starts the road to 200 episodes by going back to a time when Sonny went from ex-Mr. Cher to newly elected Mr. Mayor. On the charts, there were songs about flawless romance, childbirth, taking sex more seriously, regret tinged with Catholic guilt, the darkness within us all, and how amazingly great the world around us is.

Somehow, Roger has made it to 100 shows. To celebrate, he presents a dramatic conclusion over 2 1/2 years in the making. What's the oddest hit of the 80s: The Curly Shuffle or 19? And as if that weren't enough, he's going to start all over with a 90s tourney, beginning now with the announcement of all 256 entries.

This time Roger looks at the month the world was introduced to group of Knights who were fond of uttering a particular nonsensical syllable. On the charts, there was a celebration of birth control, a song about a vehicular encounter in which birth control would be useful, a song that made a dairy product sound dirty, and oh yes, a song about a hooker. Plus there's a bald actor talk-singing a sappy ballad, a plea for the return of a better President, and a band getting jerked around by the music industry.
