Tinker Toys for all.
-
Hey! It's the one Wang Chung song I don't hate!
-
A good start for '85, hope Mark is tuned in for one of his fave movie scores.
Now the question is: can we avoid Katrina and Huey?

BOS Los Lobos, "Will The Wolf Survive?"
-
Yep, good start, and an early BOS candidate for me with Los Lobos' fabulous Will the Wolf Survive?--I have to say, twenty years hence, that the Wolves most certainly have survived and even thrived.

I probably say this every time, but Waylon Jennings did a nice cover of WTWS that was a good-sized country hit.
uh-oh! tanking early with Phunky Phil.
-
whatever, Phil.

Forgot to mention that I flashed on another LA (or rather, San Diego if you're getting technical) band from this era that'd be great to hear: the Beat Farmers. Yeah, they had a couple of novelty hits with California Kid and Happy Boy, but there were some pretty rockin' tunes on there to back those up--covers of the Velvets' There She Goes Again and a much more lively version of Springsteen's somber Reason to Believe. If Born to Run is what sounds like 15 to me, Tales of the New West was what 25 sounded like.
-
OMGWTF!!! another Prince breakout! BOS2 "Pop Life". Somebody musta put a bee in Dave's bonnet about the Purple One...
-
And BOS2--Pop Life. Anyone hear much about his sideman turn at the Fillmore Monday night? I gather he mostly played guitar and sang backups, didn't really step out front save for a guitar solo or six.

I may be the only one, but I'm actually hoping to hear the mother of all Katrinas... a bit of sunshine would be nice today :P
-
Maybe some Prince, Duran Duran, Pointers, Tina, Broooce.

"Happy Boy" is a KPIG fave. HubbaHubbaHubbaHubbaHubba!

I'll second that. But, then again- we all know I like a good sappy song...
... and don't it feel GOOD?!

Tina is another HUGE '80s artist (like Madonna, Michael, Janet) that Dave rarely plays. For shame!

Dang, my brother called me & I only got in for the end of "Pop Life". Fortunately I was listening to that Los Lobos track just last night.
-
Another BOS for "Three Sunrises", if I were in my car this would be at FULL VOLUME.
So far we have heard 3 of probably my 5 favorite songs of '85. Now if only Dave would play Sly Fox...

I liked "Riverside" from their 2nd album, and "Gun Sale At Church".

HM, The Firm.
Sounding good with the headphones today. Go Jimmy Go.

ditto on the VHM for Pete.

I'm afraid Pete's getting my Guilty Displeasure today. He seems to get a lot of those from me. Alas.

"Your sister gave me diamonds, and I gave 'em to your wife."
The Man's Too Big, The Man's Too Strong
-
BOS3 This Man's Too Strong. Not a bustout, but a seldom heard track from anotherwise huge record.
-
"Your sister gave me diamonds, and I gave 'em to your wife."
The Man's Too Big, The Man's Too Strong
BOS3, one of the least-played tunes from that LP. An impressive set, considering the year. Maybe Irish Greg has been on Dave's case?

I remember the first time I heard this on the radio (I already had the album) on KISW in Seattle, and the Deejay said, "Here's my favorite track on Brothers In Arms. I think this has just got the toughest sounding accoustic guitar ever."
I agreed then & still think of it every time.

Least-played jinx!!
And in that same vein, here's a Duran Duran tune I am totally unfamiliar with (although it's unmistakeably them--or at least Simon Le Bon).
-
Best Duran Duran of Set: whatever this songs called ("Say a Prayer"? "Morning After"? I dunno)

"Save a Prayer" From Rio.
ETA: which of course means it has no business being in an '85 set. album was released in '82 & peaked in '83. This track, while gorgeous, never charted, so no lame excuses possible for its inclusion today.

Really? got a lot of play and made it to #16. Not their biggest hit, but it was all over the radio.

What the...!? Under the album heading in Allmusic it doesn't show this charting, but elsewhere on the singles page it does, and Mike is right. My bad.

see my post above. One of those, "they're famous now, so let's make some money off an old LP" things.
-
Bonus: Rod Stewart/Jeff Beck, "People Get Ready". Nice.

I knew I was gonna regret changing stations so quickly. At least Deep Tracks was a good choice at that moment (at least, for a Zep head like myself).
But Deep Tracks plays the wimpy strings version sans Jeff Beck of PGR...
Bleh.

Wang Chung - To Live & Die in L.A.
Los Lobos - Will The Wolf Survive?
Phil Collins - Take Me Home

It was & remains my favorite U2 song.

The band was in on it; they filmed a new video for the single's re-release. I remember one of the Taylors, probably John, riding an elephant.
I doubt one could have hoped for a better 1985 set, all said.
