This David Gilmour song, Love on the Air, is actually a good start.
ETA: I always mentally associate this with Roger Waters' Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking, being as they were out at about the same time.
-
HM to "Purple Rain," though it really should have been tune #10.
Expecting to hear "Born in the U.S.A." in conjunction with a bitterly political segue, in light of Bruce's "Bring 'em home" mutter last night.

Dueling Floydies!
VHM Prince, "Purple Rain" -- after the 2 Prince breakouts recently, I'd be foolish to complain, and actually this gets far less play here than "Let's Go Crazy" or "Take Me With U".
-
Wow, talk about a song hitting you in just the right way--Cyndi L's Girls Just Wanna Have Fun is doing it for me right now.
And I have a sneaking suspicion this could get the popular BOS vote, too. Not too bad an 84 canon so far.
-
...and the irrepressable Mary Lou Retton...
I sure wanted to repress her back then! :evil:
-
BOS Ms Lauper; Dave hasn't played this in quite some time, but it's sounding wonderful today.
-
VHM "Only Flame in Town" -- hey Mark, didja know Daryl Hall sings backing vox? :wink:
-
<irony> Say, who's that singing backing vox on this....? </irony>
-
This is very representative of how I remember 1984 sounding, and would be even more so if we'd hear Tina's "What's Love Got to Do With It" and King's "Love and Pride."

I'm feelin' ya, bro (see post above).
Followed hot on its heals by EC's The Only Katrina in Town. Love Elvis, but we hear this a bunch.

hey!! you gotta give me half a second to make fun of myself before you start making fun of me!

ironic JINX!

Darn, I just tuned in and missed Cyndi Lauper... I'll just have to put it the CD when I get in my car. I think the whole album She's So Unusual is great, pretty much every song...
-
even Mr Idol sounds good today. When I first heard this on the radio back then I thought it was Spandau Ballet.

Tina: another emblematic artist Dave doen't play nearly enough.
"Love and Pride": a personal fave, but... snowball's chance in hell.

sadly, I must bail for a 10:30 meeting... keep copious notes, kids!

I always forget how good a song "The Runner" is. A Manfred Mann GH compilation must be the most chaotic and uneven listen ever for a greatest-hits collection.

Gets my BOS so far. I had a whole bunch of MM's Earth Band records & was really into them at the time.

Ya know, at first I didn't remember it was Mannfred Mann. I thought it was John Paar. Can ya hear it?

Now that you say so, I can totally hear that. I'll have to check who the songwriters are on that!
HM to "For the Longest Time." Dave, lurk much?
-
Ah, Mike's gonna be bummed. He'd be digging this Billy Joel doo-wop homage (The Longest Time) most certainly.
-
Ha ha! the Big Country/Wang Chung double whammy! Bet I'm the only one smiling.

Me Dave, or He Dave? I don't lurk much -- if I'm not posting, I'm probably not listening. But yeah, I'm a bit scarce lately.
-
And a VHM to the Big Country tune--I kinda dig hearing guitars sound like bagpipes.
The two Katrinas (EC and Wang Chung) and the Sally of all Sallys notwithstanding, this has been a nice reminder that 84 had some good pop songs.
-
Ha ha! the Big Country/Wang Chung double whammy! Bet I'm the only one smiling.
I dig the Big, but hang the Wang!
-
Ha ha! the Big Country/Wang Chung double whammy! Bet I'm the only one smiling.
I'm half smiling... Big Country yes, Wand Chung yuck.

And not to say I told ya so, but I'm gonna anyway: Cyndi and the "guhls" took the popular BOS vote.

But what does the electoral college have to say on the matter?

indeed -- I'll catch it on the replay.

Oh, sorry, Dave -- I meant Morey. Mike was bigging up the An Innocent Man somewhere on the board this week and I wondered if Dave had seen the post and agreed.

Fourth Bruce: Michael Baldwin, this is Bruce. Michael Balwin, this is Bruce. And Michael Baldwin, this is Bruce.
First Bruce: Is your name not Bruce, then?
Michael Balwin: No, it's Michael.
Second Bruce: That's gonna cause a little confusion.
Third Bruce: Yeah. Mind of we call you Bruce, just to keep it clear?
