Thank you soo much for reminding me that US mainstream TV stations usually suck when it comes to music. 
------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Many times I have yelled at the screen when catching a glimpse of Weather Report etc on one of the cable stations.
