PG, "Shock the Monkey". So, the year is '82.

That's how I'm reading it. Loved this album when it was released (and really, it's still pretty great). Just not this song.

We're getting Wimbledon clips between songs.

Fixx, "Stand or Fall' -- we're in FF-y tried-and-true territory so far.

The Church, "Unguarded Moment" -- def a rarity, methinks. BOS1.

Cheers --> Go-Go's rather unfortunate cover of "Cool Jerk".  But a rarity is a rarity and that's 2 in a row.

Like the singer, liked the song, heard it way too much, particularly on 10@10.

VHM Split Enz in a leaky boat.  An old Morey fave, iirc.

That's my recollection, too. And a fave of mine as well, likely to get my BOS vote once the set is done.

eek, F.Mac's "Hold Me" is also an uber-LN at this point.

Care to wager on whether this takes the GS BOS vote? Quite a few folks over there think Stevie and Lindsey et al walk on water.

I'm enjoying the set, probably because I avoided all the LN's at the time during my classic rock discovery phase.

As bad as it got in 1982.

Not even close. Eight votes for the Big Mac, and a 3-way tie for second at two votes apiece.

No amount of snark can change the fact that "Hold Me" is pure crystalline perfection of pop, that still sounds great.  I will continue to enjoy it!

I agree that Hold Me is both a great pop song and uber-LN.  It's also in fairly rarified air as
a FF, with about two dozen spins on 10@10.  I haven't stumbled across many songs in the 20+
range.  Perhaps I should start making note of them.  Anyway, today's set was so uninspired that
this was one of the bright spots, such as it was.
