The Peak, 3/17/08: 1978
« on: March 17, 2008, 07:45:55 AM »
Van Morrison Wavelength
Buzzcocks Ever Fallen In Love
Tom Petty Listen To Her Heart
Third World Now That We Found Love
Genesis Follow You Follow Me
Nick Lowe Marie Provost
Rolling Stones Miss You
Genya Raven Junkman
Bruce Springsteen Prove It All Night
Boomtown Rats Rat Trap

I tuned in during "Rat Trap" and assumed Rob was doing an all-Irish set.  Turns out he began and ended with Irishmen. But this was a fine facsimile of '78.

Big kudos on the Buzzcocks.  I know nothing about Genya Raven.  Are you familiar with that one Mike?

it's actually a duet with Ian Hunter (!) and references Bruce's "Incident on 57th St" (Listen to the junkman).  Genya was the lead singer of 10 Wheel Drive, whose best-known song as the fab, horn-laden "Morning Much Better" circa 1970. She got her start in the '60s with Goldie and the Gingerbreads (she was "Goldie").

Ditto on the Buzzcocks, but must point out the little heard and fabulously twisted Marie Provost from Nick Lowe. Perhaps even out-eeeewwwwing "Timothy."
