Casey Kasem American Top 40

[sundaygal]

Holding Back The Years...ah, what Purgatory sounds like!  Another song I appreciate more now...prolly 'cos I'm pushing 40.  Heh.

I wish my mom invented Liquid Paper.  Damn you, Mike Nesmith!  

ZZ Top's "Rough Boy".  There's a joke in there somewhere, I know it!  There's something about this song I like.  VHM.

WOS4 Starship -- again I ask, how is "We Built This City" the worst-song-ever when virtually ALL their '80s singles are worse than "WBTC"??

BOS2 Mater, Pater, and Simply Red. VHM ZZT's dead-on Eagles homage/parody.

uber-BOS3 Sade; BOS4 HoJo

Agreed.  "Never As Good As The First Time" is one of her best songs, IMO (but not better than "Is It A Crime?") 
I forgot how good "No One Is To Blame" is.  What ever happened to HoJo?

[Gazoo]

VHMs to Simply Red, Sade and HoJo.  This set is full of fond memories.  (And I'm alone here in liking "I Wanna Be a Cowboy" too.)

George Michael was *22* when he wrote "A Different Corner."  Damn.  Too bad he lost all his urge to create a decade later, what a shame.

ZZT's dead-on Eagles homage

I never thought of this - but damn, you're right.

[RGMike]

George M's "Different Corner" seemed impossibly wimpy to me at the time. But it sounds quite lovely this morning. Unexpected BOS5.

I knoooow, right?  22!  BOS5.

First time I heard it I thought it was a Glenn Frey solo thing. (Frey *wishes* he could write a ballad that non-smarmy)

[Gazoo]

What on *earth* is this ("flip, flop, fly"?) retro number being played as a Canadian extra?

Never mind, the player's finally showing the info.  Never heard of the Downchild Blues Band.

[Gazoo]

"Nothin' At All" certainly *sounds* like the fourth single from an album.

"Nothin' At All" certainly *sounds* like the fourth single from an album.

On this we can all agree. WOS5.  And WOS6 Billy Ocean's cupful of treacle.

But BOS6 the Jets.

[sundaygal]

VHM The Jets "Crush On You".  I didn't love hearing it as much as I did then.

BOS6 "Addicted To Love".  Real horns!

[RGMike]

"I never wanted to be a man", sez Boy George. Well, duh.  VHM the unfairly forgotten "Move Away"

hey soul sister, ain't that Mr Mister?  WOS7 "Is it Love?"; WOS8 Journey; VHM Level 42.
