Post by: RGMike on June 16, 2009, 10:02:15 AM
instant BOS/ATBB: Echo/B-men, "Killing Moon". One of the most underrated bands of the '80s.

WOS Mary Lou Retton. Gawd I hated that little bitch.

VHM Prince, but "Let's Go Crazy" is another frequent-flyer. AL really spoiled us yesterday.

Another BOS for JJ.  I'm always torn on the wisdom of the lyric, but musically it's ultrafab.

jeez, it's turning into a real Moreyfest!  But BOS4 Style Council, just a perfect single and a flashback to warm spring days in NYC.

The very best example of sophistipop I can think of.  Never thought to arrange my favorites by year, but I suspect this is at least Top 3 for '84 for me.

OK, I realize every set can't be like yesterday's, but other than the TOTHK, this is a Xerox of a DM '84 set. Some fine songs, yes, but... jus' sayin'.

This one could have been done by Dave hisself. Loved the Style Council, JJ's OK, but the only bustout was the Echo & the B-men, no?

The stream here has been fine today, but it's been selectively freaking out for some of us over the past week or so.

BOS2 to Tina.

VHM.  Great song - but Cy Curnin of the Fixx showing up on stage in the video as Tina's unappreciative lover is forever a WTF moment for me.

great minds...

But as if to keep her average up, even in a Moreytrinafest AL still gives us a couple of bustouts (not sure if "Legs" is a b-o or just a rarity).

Holy Flaming Mutha of Pop (Argot)!  Rockwell -- who doesn't, really, but BOS6 to another ATBB (Austin "Bob"s sets don't really count).

Legs goes into the rarity column--two appearances prior to today's. But amazingly, Tina Turner appears only once as a solo artist in the DB--one play of What's Love Got to Do With It? dating to 6 1/2 years ago.

But the Rockwell is also a BO.

Does anyone remember Rockwell's similarly paranoid fgollow-up, "Obscene Phone Caller"?  ("If Alexander Bell were alive today / Would he want the telephone to be used this way?")

yeah, I would have appreciated this a helluva lot more if Geico hadn't clubbed this song to death like a baby ring seal.

it's really him -- he and "Rockwell" (Berry Gordy's son) grew up together, more or less.

It was Michael himself, doing a solid for the Gordy family.

Yes, she's been doing well w these sets.  Despite my griping about AL, I've never thought she lacked musical taste, but she should take  a cue from Frank Zappa sometimes: "Shut Up And Play Yer Guitar Records"

I could have flipped sides for Belinda at this time - I liked her with a fuller face - but I was much closer to crushville with the Bangles.

don'cha think Belinda looks WAY butch in that video? (or is that why you liked her?) I was always kinda suspicious of her "romance" with Dodger pitcher Ron Cey and her marriage to James Mason's rather metrosexual-looking son.
