no shit

In 1981 Bruce Hornsby was auditioning to be the backing pianist for Sheena Easton's touring band.  He didn't even form The Range until 1984.  He won the Best New artist grammy in 1986.

This song entered the charts on 10/18/86.

Maybe both Dave and Bob throw in a wrong-year song now and then just to see who's paying attention.

Although Dave's been abusing the privilege, hasn't he?  :)

I remember calling Dave way-back-when, not long after I'd first discovered 10@10, and pointing out that Elton's "Captain Fantastic" was from '75 and not '77, and he said it had been incorrectly entered as a '77 song in the database.  More often, I think, the errors come when he simply cues up the wrong track on a greatest-hits CD.

I was thinking that was probably the case with the 10cc "Blackmail" screwup yesterday. At least he copped to that one.
