I give a BOS vote to "Joey."  Became a sledgehammer for me a couple years later when it aptly summarized the mindset of a then self-destructive guy I knew and loved very much.

What's this song following it ("If I ever needed your arms to hold me / Baby it's tonight")?  It sounds like John Waite fronting Del Amitri.  Bland, but it sounds like a representative radio hit of the period.

Charlatans' "The Only One I Know" is always welcome in any set, anytime, anywhere.  It's probably a good thing I wasn't old enough for drugs when the Madchester scene hit the U.S.

Jude Cole.  

And here's the inevitable boring Clapton.

A compilation of Pretenders B-sides/bounus tracks (most of which are covers, everything from "Angel of the Morning" to "Every Day is Like Sunday") would be one helluva CD.

The Posies, maybe? They had a track called Suddenly Mary on Dear 23 that would have been out around 90.
Let's get right to it.
