BOS to Neil, "Mansion on the Hill," which I don't recall ever hearing before.  Never hear him sound so Springfield-like in his solo work!

VHM to INXS, "Suicide Blonde," a great example of how a really good producer can cobble together a well-formed pop song from fragmental ideas.  There's not that much structure to SB but it sounds like a key element in their catalogue.

The Wilburys song was hideous.  Like someone was writing a bad Dylan parody, like one of those "Bad Faulkner" contests.

Wow!! The Posies? I don't think I ever recall hearing them on commercial radio--ever.
