AL's gonna have to work at making this good.

No arms-for-hostages, sez Ronnie. Until he reverses himself.
I liked it better when Dave used the Don Pardo "Could I hear that AGAIN??" clip after Reagan's fib.
-
sounds like Rabin-era Yes?
-
Yeesh, WOS Yes, eating at Chez Nous in "Love Will Find a Way".

WOS and worst line of the decade.
-

Yep. This is a long way from Close to the Edge or Gates of Delirium.
BOS Sinead Bjork.
ETA: Yikes. You right. My bad. :-[
-
WOS2 SugarCubes/Bjork. Sorry... I just never "got" them/her. ATBB, tho'.
-
Although some people never got them, the Sugarcubes were pretty fresh stuff to many ears. HM to Björk and the rest of the Icelanders.
-
BOS Metheny on the train.

BOS Metheny on the train.
he certainly is not afraid to explore his impulses, even when it takes him into Cheesy Listening Land. Who's on vox? Sting?
-
BOS Metheny on the train.
followed by TP on "Runaway Trains". Oh, AL, you so clevah!
-
It's a railroad two-fer--Last Train Home into Runaway Train. What year was Tom Waits' Downtown Train?

dunno, but Breakfast Club's "Right on Track" was in '87...
-
pretty seamless transfer from the Metheny Line to the Petty Express.
Not a big fan of the TP, though
-
BOS Max Headroom!

OMFG! Max Headroom! One of the great TV flops of the decade.
and we go from trains to cars with DM -- VHM "Behind the Wheel"
-
They so "Crazy"! Icehouse channels Roxy Music shamelessly.
-
BOS Icehouse Cra-zay!
A Dave Fave, IIRC
-
Another WOS for Icehouse. This set is not setting my world on fire.

Yep, but he mainly played it (and Electric Blue) in '88. The DB had just one play for each in '87, which threw me for a loop til I did a little more digging.
-
Yes I swear! it's the truth! BOS2 "Time Of My Life" -- cheeze personified, but gotta dig the nod to Mr Swayze. (At least she didn't play "She's Like the Wind") Nobody puts AL in a corner!

well, it prob ain't gettin' better with this next one. This is NOT the time of your life, I'm guessing.
me? sort of a guilty pleasure, I'm singing along .. in here (pats chest)

Yes I swear! it's the truth! BOS3 "Time Of My Life" -- cheeze personified, but gotta dig the nod to Mr Swayze. (At least she didn't play "She's Like the Wind") Nobody puts AL in a corner!

With you on the cheeze, and appreciation for her Swayze tribute, but I can't go for the BOS. No can do. (Yeah, wrong year, I know. ;) )

dunno who this is who wants and needs.

this one not on my radar in '87.

Reagan nominates Robert Bjork!
BOS3 Stranglers, "Always the Sun"
-
good one from the Stranglers -- I don't know them that well, but don't think they were not on top of their game in this period in general..?
Always The Sun

"Animal" was the second single from Hysteria, following "Woman"; subsequent singles would be much bigger hits. All of 'em were huge in Pittsburgh at the time.

Always The Sun
They've def. done better (Peaches, Ghost Train), but this is working well in the context of this set. BOS here.
-
I liked this set... if it was supposed to capture the times and feeling of whatever 1987 was, it mostly did the job for me --- except for the Pat Metheny and Tom Petty. Those two weren't on my radar back then, and I don't know what pop or rock stations I was listening to would have actually play the Pat Metheny.

Don't know if it was a single, but the "smooth jazz" format was just starting to take off then iirc. It's a track that of course became better-known as an Amtrak commercial some years later.

-
BOS Genesis, honorable mention to Icehouse.
Song I'd love to hear in this set, but will probably never happen: "The Honeythief" by Hipsway.
-
Great set! ;D I was driving back in the fog & was about to get home when "Last Train Home" came on. That sounded like such a good driving song so I made myself a scenic route & didn't get back home again until "Time of My Life."
Her previous 1987 (and most all of Dave's) had some good tracks but sounded for the most part like what you'd get when a Hot AC station did an 80s hour. This one threw quite a few loops (and so many, in fact, that it was actually refreshing to hear "Time of My Life!")
I didn't realize Bjork was back then. And I also didn't realize that POD ripped off that song for "Youth of the Nation"! :o
Kudos to her for playing one of Tom Petty's only two good songs. (The other being "Learning to Fly.")
BOS's, in order starting with BBOS: Pat Metheny, Genesis, Bill Medley/Jennifer Warnes, Icehouse, Depeche Mode, Tom Petty, The Stranglers. If I didn't have so many BOS's, then I'd have given VHM's to The Sugar Cubes and Yes (which I agree was a bit corny, but did 1987 quite well IMO.) Don't care much for Def Leppard but this one wasn't bad enough to get a WOS.
