Also, it reached the Top 30 in I believe May 1987. I tend to think in terms of year charted. But I've been wrong before.

no complaints yet. Certainly some big sweeping sounds in the first ~~three~~ four songs. Lips Like Sugar is the one song everyone knows from Echo, oh well.

Ditto...even though KFOG has been spinning Lips Like Sugar a lot lately, it's still hard to be disappointed when hearing it.

Have to WOS Tom Petty though. Even though his 1987 album is probably the only one that has songs by him like...that song isn't one of them. Runaway Trains or The Damage You've Done are better.

If you are not familiar with this area, it's full of huge tacky neon signs: (here are a few courtesy of http://www.satanslaundromat.com/sl/archives/000464.html)

all of which were brightly lit. So I'm seeing these out my window, and then on the radio there's the Psychedelic Furs followed by Icehouse, The Alarm, Echo/Bunnymen...between the neon lights & epic sounds, I felt like I had really gone back in time 24 years. :)

TANC: I was introduced yesterday to the Lauder Brothers, those of "Satan Is Real" fame.

I'd also suggest those pictures are more reminiscent of 1967 than 1987, but I get your point. Thanks for sharing!
