AAACK! Worst. Year. EVAH!

Spot the Vinyl is the sole redeeeming feature today.

And Dave -- what's with the Franklin Pangborn reference?

ETA -- oh, Wang Chung were the TOTHC.

It's actually "Gossip", accent on the second syllable. The Devil's Radio is spewing gossip, I guess.  Dunno about Slowhand -- quite possible.

I'll BOS New Order, best of a Katrina-laden lot, I'm wagering.

Yah, I looked up the words.  Seems awkward to put the emPHAsis on the wrong syllABle.

Franklin Pangborn and Liberace in the same set -- Dave's feeling nelly today.

VHM U2. Nice segue, actually, from the AIDS quilt clip.

Nelly?

Clapton is credited on Cloud 9, but can't say for sure if he's playing on DR.  I'd bet on it though.

What's all this about Franklin Pangborn?  I didn't hear what Dave said, and I've never heard of the guy, though I now know that he died in 1958.

not Nelly, the rapper, "nelly", the adjective.  gay, girly, swishy.

Franklin Pangborn was a comic actor in early films -- he played a milquetoasty, swishy character usually, tho obviously the word "homosexual" was never used back then.

It's my BOS, though I voted for The Fixx, and said the Rembrandts was the vinyl.  Dave says there's no Fixx or Rembrandts in the set.  Doh!  That's what I get for trying to work.

Yeesh, GD, "Touch of Grey".  "Look! we finally had a hit single with a song that sounds like all our other songs thrown into a Cuisinart".

Dave says I have to ask you which was the vinyl, since I guessed Julian Cope.  Must be that Frozen Ghost.  (I was giving you props for identifying FG.)

Trade secret: I googled lyrics. That one's a Narada to me.

:cry:
Yes, it does sound like the Grateful Dead, but the reason it was a hit was because of the special something it  hit in people, a certain positive bounce.  I even remember how killer it sounded at Candlestick when it was played.  People were groovin!

Didn't hurt that they made a memorable video for it while MTV was still quite influential.

That said, it's in my top 5 Dead songs:
1. Box of Rain
2. Ripple
3. Uncle John's Band
4. Touch of Grey
5. The Wheel

your #5 is technically not the Dead, but rather Jerry solo.  That said it'd probably be in my top 5 as well, as would Ripple & UJ'sB, probably.  Franklin's Tower has been in there lately.  Maybe Dire Wolf.

Well, it's technically a Dead song, unless you are restrictively limiting it to studio recordings.  It's on many live CD's by full band.
