Did he say that, or just no news?

Early BOS for The Fixx. For some reason, they take me back to college more so than most other bands from the same era. Maybe because they haven't been played to death like, say, Simple Minds.

Well, he said both actually.
I'm watching A's/Twins (it's on ESPN, and thank god it's Jon Miller), so limited comments this morning.

He said it after the wheel spun & Don Pardo announced 1983. I thought he was just commenting on the quality of the set to come. But I missed everything before that point; did he say something else earlier?

That was a minor breakout, it's not in the Db.

I don't know if it's a guilty pleasure, or an indication that I'm completely crazy, but I honestly never get tired of this Toto song.
-
yeesh, Toto -- sorry, this has not been impressive so far.

He said something along the lines of "no news today, because some days are better without it." Or something to that effect.
So far the Fixx is leading my personal BOS race, although I admit to still being fond of the oft-played Message to My Girl. Those Finn brothers do no wrong--well, little wrong anyway.

Get ready for a bailout of this Tubes song-sounds like another CD that was used as a dinner plate.
-
Real BOS for the Tubes, though I know this will be unpopular. A good and funky song, even though its a very silly double entendre. Is that Philip Bailey? -- I knew once.

Whew! It made it. Good, too, as I love that horn chart.

BOS for the Heads. "Girfriend Is Better".
Dave, did the LSJUMB ever do this, or any other TH songs?

I dig GiB too. Hmmmm. I think they may have attempted "Burning Down the House", but it wasn't good. Nothing stuck in the repertoire.

...as I love that horn chart.
AMG says that was arranged by Dominic Frontiere, of all people. AMG doesn't list the credits, so I oculdn't confirmthat that was Philip Bailey. But I sure thought it sounded like him.

Who's Dominic Frontiere? WOS for John Waite. Actually, this isn't as irritating as "Missing You", but I just don't like him, Babys notwithstanding.
ETA: I'm an idiot. Bryan Adams, not John Waite.

First thing you'd know is he composed the theme from The Outer Limits. He was a jazz composer, film & TV composer (he also did "Hang 'Em High", with a very lengthy career.

Of course. That's what I meant. :wink: I never like Bryan Adams.

You must REALLY hate him if you think he sounds the same as Bryan Adams! :D :o :D :o :D :o

Thank god -- I hate playing games without Frontiere.

BOS Benatar for me --as the A's hang on to a 2-0 lead bottom of the 5th.

All of those damn 80s ballads sound alike to me.

I liked the set. Not one song I hated. I even liked the Duran Duran song even though they are probably one of the first boy bands ever.

That would be the Beatles, no? :wink:

"Boy bands" implies that they were contrived, put together by a svengali -- so the Beatles are 1/4 correct, I suppose. The first boy band was probably either New Edition or New Kids on the Block, the latter really setting the template.

Well, New Edition predate NKOTB by 5 years (at least in terms of charted singles), so...

Oops! When did they actually start out? (their only US charted single was in 1985, but I guess they were around long before that).

I didn't know Menudo ever charted a single! I think I saw their TV show in 1983-84.
But thank you all for not dragging the Monkees into this. I'm trying not to include them in this convo. :?

Menudo's only POP chart hit was "Hold Me" (not a cover of any other "Hold Me") which reached #62 in '85. They also charted R&B the year before with "If You're Not Here (By My Side)."
The Monkees were referred to as the "pre-fab 4" (long before the Rutles stole that line). But by that definition The Sex Pistols are a boyband too :wink:

I found that Mr Jones matured into quite a stud, however. Saw him in some history-of-rock docu and thought "Damn!".
