eeek. This cannot be good.

and as if on cue: Asia. WOS1

Billy Squier gets a cheezy VHM. And VHM the Fixx's "Red Skies", probably as New Wave-y as this set will get. Sounds like a re-recording, tho' -- for shame, Bob!

Actually Petty -- If I got lucky I wouldn't be hearing you right now.

uber-LN: JJ, "ILRnR"

all I wanna do when  I wake up in the morning is watch your films, "Rosanna".


DUUUUUDE! BOS Judas effin' Priest!

NOOOOOO! WOS2 Rush "New World Blorf"

Huey's workin' it (if only!). VHM.

A bit of an AL-trina, but Mr Crenshaw's "Someday Someway" sounds good amidst this AOR crapola.

Asia - Heat of the Moment 
Billy Squier - Everybody Wants You 
Fixx - Red Skies 
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - You Got Lucky
