That Thing With Rich Appel Wow 100 List

That Thing with Rich Appel is a syndicated radio show that is now heard on over 100 internet and terrestrial radio stations on weekends.  I usually listen on Sunday evenings, but Rich provides a list of stations with the day and time it can be accessed.  This year Rich has asked his listeners to provide a list of up to 100 "Wow" songs which are those not usually heard on oldies or classic hits radio stations.  Sophisticated listeners don't want to be "burned out" by hearing records that have been played to death for years.  Rich asked his listeners to provide a list of songs that they enjoy that are not usually played on the radio.  He has compiled a list of those songs selected by his listeners that he will play over the next 3 weeks.  Below is the list of my 80 favorite "rarities" that I submitted.
