THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO: Master List Of TIRnRR Year-End Top 20 Tracks 1999-2018

That song on the radio--I know it!!
We're getting very close to the 1000th episode of This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl. Barring any further snafus, TIRnRR # 1000 will hit the airwaves and the web on Sunday night, November 10th, from 9 to Midnight Eastern. And we intend to present you with the best 1000th show we've ever done!

That hype...needs work. 

But yeah, we're gonna give you a show, pretty much like we do every week, but intensified with a little extra 1000th-show mojo. And we're probably going to wing it, without any grand plan beyond wanting to celebrate the milestone by playing as many past TIRnRR Fave Raves as we can squeeze into three hours.

In the mean time, here's a long look back at some of those tried-n-true Fave Raves. This is a list of (I think) every track that ever made the Top 20 within our year-end countdown shows from 1999-2018. The selections you hear in TIRnRR # 1000 will definitely not be limited to what's on this list, but I can guarantee you'll hear more than a few of these in our celebratory mix. You should tune in and hear for yourself. You can start acclimating your own mojo this very Sunday, with TIRnRR # 997.

This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl, Sunday nights from 9 to Midnight Eastern, on the air in Syracuse at SPARK! WSPJ 103.3 and 93.7 FM, and on the web at http://sparksyracuse.org/
