The Drive, 2/7/08: 1986

No expectations -- normally I'd bail on this one, but the guy who's been subbing for Bob has been out-doing him all week, so I'll give it a shot, at least initially.

BOS Sigourney W., kickin' ass and takin' names in Aliens.

BOS2 "Sledgehammer", even tho' I've heard it a billion times -- one of the great singles of the decade.

Bob's sub sez "Everybody Wang Chung Tonite" is "the group's only US hit"  Whaaa?

Every time I hear this I remember the Cheers episode where Kelsey Grammer referenced it.

WOS2 Heart, "These Dreams"  -- if only Ann & Nancy had never met Diane Warren, the world would be a better place.

Yikes, WOS4 Boston "Can't You Say You Believe in Me", or whatever it's called. Points for not playing "Amanda", but otherwise blechhh.

I haven't heard that in years!  I think they titled it "Can'tcha Say"?  Even "Amanda" is nice to hear every year or three.
