Title: 16 Sept 2010: it's... 1985
Post by: RGMike on September 15, 2010, 09:34:39 PM
A lot of "usual suspects" requests (sometimes I want to cry when I see what's on AL's FB page) but plenty of room for Miss 'lisa to hit this one out of the park too.

Not a fan of "Holding Back The Years" eh?  :-X And I think that would be 1986.

At least nobody has requested "We Built This City". Not that I could tell anyway.

Agreed. But we're two for two in the ex-Zep side project category. Alas, JPJ didn't do much in '85.

BOS Bruce & Cybill in Moonlighting. If only AL had followed that with Al Jarreau.  But VHM Ree-Ree -- "nevah you mind the exercise", as I m'greened that line.

ETA: ooo, the loooong version. Extended throwdown, indeed.

BOS, Moonlighting clip.  One of my favorite shows of all time.

BOS, also, to dem Honeydrippers.  And HM to the Firm, just to off-set the WOS votes.  It's not great, but has a cool little guitar technique that saves it somewhat.  Jimmy saved any number of songs with cool little guitar techniques...

Extended JINX!  Yeah, it's the LP cut -- the 45 had some stuff excised to keep it under 4 mins.

Here's Alicat's "Obsession"  -- she will find a way, and she will have her request.

Animotion. Huge hit

Damn, the clips are better than the songs -- BOS2 & 3 Golden Girls annd Pee-Wee's Big Adventure.

I've learned to trust AL's discretion when it comes to some of the dreck that people request on FB. Mostly she ignores the crap and goes for the real rarities. She's got a good sense of what's worthy and what's not, teena neena nu notwithstanding.

BOS5 the Hooters -- always preferable to the Hooties.  This one really has aged well, IMHO.

BOS to Live Aid.

The first time I ever used a credit card was to donate to that event's cause.   So I guess I helped pay to hear Phil Collins play twice that day.  Sorry guys!

I was gonna say these guys and Wang Chung oughta get together and do a double bill that I could not go to.  And it occurred to me that that's an awesome double bill, name-wise.  Add in Tones on Tail and you've got everything covered (or uncovered).

Not generally a fan of this Hooters song (though I agree it's 10000000x better than Hootie, anything by which would get an automatic WOS except for maybe "Sad Caper"), but it does balance this set out quite nicely & doesn't sound too bad.  So it gets a free pass today.
