Started with Eric Clapton's "Waiting.. (for another song)"  -- zing!

... then an INXS tune I forget the name of.  "This time (will be the last time...)" perhaps?

Now it's the cute band from Norway, asking us to Take them on...

I can't get the KFOG player to work, and I have no backup radio.  So I'll have to wait until tonite.

Man, my pop/rock music ignorance is being totally EXPOSED today.

I do know Huey Lewis and the Snooze's "Power of Love." 

so there.

My thoughts exactly. Tuned in just in time to hear "super hit six six six" and saw that it wasn't even 10:20 yet. So those first 5 tunes were quickies.

So who the hell is #6?

ETA: Nevermind I see it's been ID'd as OMD.

best of a mediocre lot so far; that'd be my BOS too, but I wish Dave'd play "Talking Loud & Clear", "Tesla Girls" or "Locomotion" occasionally.

I think it must have been "Bastards of Young", I only heard a snippet before my player crapped out, but pretty sure it wasn't "Kiss Me on the Bus", which is the only MOrey candidate for '85.

The JCM appears to be a bustout also, and now here's Dire Straits "Ride Across the River" which has only been heard thrice (& not for a couple yrs).  So I think the sucky tunes in this set are merely indicative of how sucky 1985 was generally - imho.

We've had better, we've had worse.

But seriously, the 'Mats is a major bustout, & OMD & JCM were bustouts, too.  INXS, Dire Straits & TFF were rarities (3 1/2 years since Dave played "This Time", which is one of my fave Inksiss tunes, and believe it or not "Head Over Heels" only appears in the DB once, over six yrs ago).

otoh, Huey is just about the biggest Katrina there is, a-ha is not far behind, & while not a Katrina, Bryan Adams just sucks horribly.

I don't think so.  I've asked him similar questions a few times over the years (for example The Quayle Quarterly), and if he's heard of it he's alwasy said so and shared his impressions.  If not he always says "okay, I'll check it out."
