Cars Magic
Echo & The Bunnymen The Killing Moon
Julian Lennon Too Late For Goodbyes
R. E. M. South Central Rain
Lindsey Buckingham Go Insane
Los Lobos Will The Wolf Survive?
Depeche Mode Blasphemous Rumours
Stevie Ray Vaughan Scuttle Buttin'
Eddy Grant Romancing the Stone
U2 Unforgettable Fire

Nicely played. The Peak's "just played" feature misspells Mr Grant's first name as "Eddie" ::)

it was not a big hit -- got no NYC airplay at all that, that i can remember. So I'm surprised Rob played it.

I always loved that Eddy Grant song.  TBS's video show of the time played it regularly, and it did scuttle across the national chart for a short while, rescuing him from (2x!) one-hit-wonderland.
“The choir of children sing their song.  They've practiced all year long.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.”
