But we've had repeat visits to '66 and '69 two of the last three days, so those remaining years may just get dropped in piecemeal whenever AL gets the urge. I'm not expecting to hear any of those in the immediate future.
And now that I've said that, it almost guarantees that we will get one of them today. ;)

rotation-wise, there's probably no chance of hearing '60/'61/'62/'63 as stand-alone years, so in order to continue the weekly pattern, AL has had to repeat in the '60s, and do a '60s VT as well.

1986. There you go.

A fine TOTHK (and a TANC, since we mentioned the Bangles during the Peak's set): "Walk Like an Egyptian"

The Future's So Bright...
BOS 1 & 2 for Bangles & Timbuk3
This is how 1986 sounded to me. In fact both these are on a mix tape I still have from that year.
Will this be the day I finally get to hear "Let's Go All The Way"?
-
World, shut your pie-hole. But this is an '87 song, no? (the late '80s are a blur).
-
Yep, this was a pretty big Katrina in 1987, but Dave never played it in '86.
-
cue the spinning Turkey!
-
PG whips it out.

World, shut your pie-hole. But this is an '87 song, no? (the late '80s are a blur).
In fact the album titled World Shut Your Mouth came out in 1984, but it lacked a title track. Then an EP came out in 1986 with this song.
-
Meanwhile, Sledgehammer was one of the biggest hits of '86, but it's only shown up twice in the Dave era of the DB.

and old farts have to Google to find out it's probably by someone named Julian Cope.

BOS some delightfully cheezy Buongiovi!
-
What time is it when Bon Jovi comes on? Time to get a cup of coffee.
-
Another escapee from 1987.
BOS Bon Jovi, just because...
ETA: the signle peaked at #1 in '86, but the album peaked at #1 in '87. So Annalisa is right again.
-
Another one that Dave used to play in '87: Livin' on a Prayer. Kinda catchy but not BOS-worth, even a little bit.
-
Another escapee from 1987.
BOS Bon Jovi, just because
I'm assuming the LP was a late-'86 release; I seem to recall the first single didn't do that well but this rescued the album. (or did I imagine all that?)
ETA: LP released Aug '86; the single is a legal-in-both-years overlapper
-
I think I'm gonna sneeze; too much hairspray in the room!

BOS for the Smithereens and their Wonder Wall. The Random Numbers used to play this song.

AMG sez it was Aug '86, and "You Give Love A Bad Name" was also a chart-topper in that year. "Wanted Dead or Alive" only reached #7 in '87, but that is the tune that has the legs twenty years later.
-
AAACK! another DaveTrina has-Been: the Call.
-
never liked this Been guy. I think you'd expect an old fart to not be too excited about 1986, I presume this music is more in your wheelhouse. How's it sound to you?
-
I was so disappointed in Haley's Comet. I was looking forward to it my whole life!
-
I'm with mshray, BOS to Bon Jovi just because I can. And HM to the Call, because it's that good.
-
Yay, BOS2 to my favorite song from 1986... West End Girls! ;D
All in all this set is looking kinda overly mainstream though... :-\
-
Which do you choose, the hard or soft option?
-

Well, I'm just sick of the has-Been because it was a Dave katrina. But '86 can go either way for me, depending how pop-oriented the set is. I'm still jonesing for "We Don't Have to Take Our Clothes Off" or the aforementioned "Let's Go All the Way". VHM PSBs, from Lake Geneva to the Finland Station..

BOS2 Woody & Co, Hannah & Her Sisters.
"we had the worst night of my life together"
OMFG! BOS3 a Smiths bustout!

Was that "Hannah and Her Sisters"? I recognized Julie Kavner and Woody Allen, but the dialog was unfamiliar.
-
Sweetness, I was only joking when I said by rights you should be bludgeoned in your bed.
Biggest BOS for the Smiths.

solid VHM for Mr. Palmer, I always liked this much better than "Addicted to Love" or "Simply Irresistible".

Lol.
And BOS4 to this I Didn't Mean to Turn You On Song by Robert Palmer. (Or is it Plant? I keep on getting those two confused. Edit: ok, it's Palmer.)

indeed... as I've said many times, his taste in R&B covers is extraordinary.

Agreed, I'm cluesless about this song. If I have only listened to KFOG during this period of time, would I have heard this song?

No idea if KFOG played it in '86; it was a Top 40 pop single, a cover of an R&B hit by Cherelle & Alexander O'Neal.

I don't think I've listened to top 40 radio since 73-74 when I worked in the post office and had a Chevy with only an AM radio. Those were the days of "Seasons in the Sun" and so on.

Bon Jovi was *the* *biggest* *thing* in my high school '86-'87; my memories of 8th grade have an inescapable soundtrack of YGLABN throughout the fall and LOAP throughout the winter.

BOS Bobby Palmer over the Smithereens and Bon Jovi. Bon Jovi would be on my list for "hated it at the time, but grew on me".

7/29/09 - Wednesday! Good times in...1986!!
1. The Bangles - Walk Like an Egyptian
Li'l Steven played this on his show Sunday nite too -- I've always speculated that, since it was written by Liam Sternberg, there must be a Rachel Sweet version somewhere. Steven said Sternberg gave it to the Bangles after Toni basil turned it down!
