According to Annalisa: "On the next 10@10 year: Tom Hanks was Big, Dustin Hoffman was Rain Man, but Dan Quayle "was no Jack Kennedy" as said in the VP debate of the day."

Someone posted: "1988 is probably the best and most diverse year of the decade"
Discuss!
(BTW, since she quoted the "no Jack Kennedy" line I requested "Glad I'm Not a Kennedy". Fat chance.)

I can't address the diversity, but based on my collection of 10@10 shows I would peg
the best year as 1982 or 1983. Somewhere in there is the peak of the "New Wave" wave,
in my estimation.

quite a bit of love on FB for Lita Ford's "Kiss Me Deadly" -- 'twould be a bustout if heard (and it'd make a great former-Runaways twin-spin with Joan Jett's "I Hate Myself For Lovin' You", as the Cap'n has already pointed out).
-
Rainman --> Rick Astley, a fine TOTHK! ("Never Gonna Give You Up") BOS1 for cheeziness alone.
-
more Rainman --> REM "Pop Song '89". VHM.
-
Bentsen/Quayle debate "no Jack Kennedy" --> Pixies "Where Is My Mind", which woulda made more sense after Rainman. So much for the Shona Laing idea.
-
Quayle campaigns --> Smithereens with an uber-LN. "Only a Memory"
-
another Neil Young appearance. Guess that divorce was a good idea. "Ten Men Working".
-
U2: another LN, at least to my ears. "Love Comes to Town"

Definitely not if you're judging by 10@10s.

This falls in the category of obvious alternative that White Stripes dominates in the '00's.
-
Fish Called Wanda --> "I Want Your Hands on Me", Sinead. BOS2 for not being the obvious choice.
-
Has Erasure ever gotten any 10@10 airplay? I forgot that I'd been wanting to request Chains of Love and didn't do it last night.
-
Working Girl --> Morrissey "Everyday is Like Sunday". BOS3 even if that segue made no sense.

I lurve that one. would've been/would be nice to hear... :)

What made even less sense was the NFL using this song to peddle its product.
-
Old Moreytrina of the Day: Leonard Cohen "Everybody Knows". A great song, if a bit LN-y. BOS4.

Yes! one of the oddest choices in a commercial ever.
-
Dana Carvey "Church Lady" --> "Don't Worry Be happy" -- eek. Utterly LN.

A little research reveals some light KFOG 10@10 play, including, I believe, A Little Respect in the last two Pride sets, but Erasure is an absolute Austin BOB über-LN for '88.

OK, WOS tie with U2/B.B. King. But what was BOS? I might have to go with Rick Astley . . .
-
Per AL: good grief, Bobby McFerrin gets BOS.
