Indeed. I'm amazed it hasn't appeared. BOS for me as well.

"Don't Get Me Wrong" could be released today.

I think of this and another hit of that time, "Don't Dream It's Over" as foreshadowing the AAA format we love so much. Just didn't know it at the time.

"Wildest Dreams" sounds seriously dated -  It's probably just that I know that the Moodies were on the way out

Don't the Blues have some sort of obscure record of having top tens in three different decades, with those three being their only top tens? Regardless, however one feels about their later material, the presence of such did introduce them to impressionable 15 year olds in 1986, whereas even knowing about the likes of The Grass Roots and Gary Puckett and the Union Gap would have to wait awhile.

I was surprised as well.  Today's other big surprise:  four bust-outs!  BOS to the Twins and
the B-52's.
