BOS Pretenders!

Another BOS to the Pretenders.

But what I'd really like to hear is some novelty: either Joe Dolce, "Fish Heads," "Pac-Man Fever," or that song that goes "It's a party / It's a party party / A party, a party party weekend."

And instead we get a large chunk of the One Day at a Time theme, followed by a band that's anything but a novelty. Yep, Los Cars.

??? Sounds like you've combined 2 Costello tunes, " Party Party" and "7 Day Weekend".

AAAACK! Cars!!!!

BOS2 from me. and VHM Police.  "Life was easy when it was boring" is a great line IMHO.

A non-Sopranos, non-ironic HM vote to "Don't Stop Believin'," which is a flashback for me to Atari 2600s and roller-skating rinks.

Speaking of big downs, we're taking the midnight train, going anywhere.

WOS2, Journey when they were trite.

Don't stop eating onion rings!  Actually, the Sopranos is the only reason I'm not giving it a WOS.

for me the flashback is dorm dances sophomore year, but I'm with you.  this is one of the relatively few Steve Perry vocals that holds up for me.

A cloche et toi, a ton heure.  Or whatever the hell Jeff Lynne's on about.  He didn't adjust to the '80s smoothly.

I'll still give it a BOS, but you're right, it's a fricking TRIPLE album!  36 tracks, at least half a dozen of which warrant a spin.

"a government that lives within it's means" ...Ronnie was such a liar.

Anyone see Sunday's Doonesbury?

VHM, Squeeze, Tempted, katrina though it may be.

Wonder if it grates on Glenn Tilbrook that his biggest hit was sung by a rent-a-keyboardist that didn't even stick around for a followup.

That was one of Dave's least-creative '81 sets in ages. I realize it's "Monday" but sheesh.  Betting Annalisa's bonus beats anything in the set.

Both Annalisa and the foghead earn my undying respect--the Kinks' Better Things (written for one of Ray's ex-wives).

No idea what got lost in translation:

When you sents -- your heart to break
Hang itself You has your magazine.

I think Pac-Man Fever would be 1982.

An aak(!!!) to Journey. I used to like them back then when I was in high school but now Steve Perry makes me want to rip my ears out. Cars, though, don't bother me as much as a lot of you.

It's kinda funny, me being the old fart, and you being the one that usually disses the 60's music; we both like the Cars.  It always strikes me oddly the disdain many have for them, but hey, what's music without some strongly-held opinions? :lol:

I know, I tried several Fren-to-English websites too. But it appears to be a translation of the main English verse, "Hold on tight to your dreams"

This is similar to what you would see in Chinese to English translations. You see examples of this during Jay Leno's Tonight Show when does headlines.
