Hi me with those laser beams!  BOS2 to FGTH.  (1 was Thompson Twins.)  A by-the-numbers Top 40 pop set so far, but '84 was a great year for that.

"Sleeping With the Enemy" is the first real surprise of the set.

PS: The Peak now purportedly has a Firefox adapter, but when I tried to install it, my computer couldn't decipher its file format.  So I'm still using the workaround.   >:(

"Just Drive, She Said"?  Bust-out to my ears!  Vocals sound like Wall of Voodoo, but I can't ID this one.
