Not the most auspicious of beginnings. Ditto Fab T-birds (Tuff Enough, for those following along at home).

Winwood's back in the high life again

well at least it's not "Higher Love".  But I think I'll take a pass on this; I can't imagine anything earth-shattering making an appearance.

I'll give a BOS for Lone Justice's "Shelter". Kinda ordinary, now that I think about it. Maybe just an HM.

This is the only song I can consider for BOS so far. Enjoyed it at the time, not as distinctive now. (Their first album was their best.)

Certainly not the Clapton that followed.

No love for that one. It out-winwoods Winwood.

Hands Across America into Jackson Browne's "For America"

At least it wasn't Hands Across America > The Call "I Still Believe."  (Which I like, but that segue had become a running gag during the AL era.)

Jackson Browne, The Smiths, & this Midnight Oil DC fave -- now these I can get behind.

BOS for Paul and Linda.

had to think about that for a bit. "Under African Skies" is a lesser-played Graceland track, so kudos DC/RR. But the rest of this seems pretty tame.  I know AL played "Hymn to Her" a couple times, but it's underheard generally.  "Ask" was one of the 2 or 3 Smiths tracks Dave ever deigned to play (the other was "Panic") but it's pretty LN now.

Midnight Oil "The Dead Heart"

yeah, it was released in *Australia* in '86 but didn't hit American radio until '88.
