Winwood's back in the high life again

Winwood's back in the high life again
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.
-
Are the Fab T-birds tuff enuff?
-
Pretenders "Hymn To Her"
-
1 & 2 pretty LN. 3 & 4 NTM but this is not the 1986 I know & love. :'(
-
Paul Simon is under African skies
-
BOS for Paul and Linda.
-
I'll give a BOS for Lone Justice's "Shelter". Kinda ordinary, now that I think about it. Maybe just an HM.
-
Clapton "It's in the Way That You Use It"

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.

Clapton "It's in the Way That You Use It"
No love for that one. It out-winwoods Winwood.

Concur. Never have we needed Stacy Q more.

Hands Across America into Jackson Browne's "For America"
-
The Smiths "Ask"

The Smiths "Ask"
Coyness is nice? Okay, Mr. Morrissey. It's the bomb that will bring us together.
-
Midnight Oil "The Dead Heart"
-
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.
-
Renee sez Midnight Oil and Lone Justice 2-way tie for BOS, followed closely by Pretenders and Jackson Browne.
-

Pretenders "Hymn To Her"
This would probably have been my BOS, maybe Jackson Browne.
-
Clapton "It's in the Way That You Use It"
No love for that one. It out-winwoods Winwood.
Excellent review in less than ten words
