When 1989 rolls around I'll have to request "Sugar Daddy" by TT. Haven't heard that in ages.

... and to what may have been the last great Bowie single.

Not a fan of "Absolute Beginners"? or are we talking hit singles (which "AB" really wasn't in this country)?

AB is good-but-not-great in my book.  Still hard to believe that his last Top 40 appearance was "Day In, Day Out."

Actually, "Never Let Me Down" went Top 40 shortly after, but your point still stands.

Any Thompson Twins song is always welcome in my book.  You Take Me Up is a song off of Into The Gap that I love.   :)

Absolutely!  My favorite of their entire catalogue.

Much as I love that one too, my favorite remains their title theme for the movie "Nothing in Common."  I still don't know why it flopped on the charts.

Yeah, we're spoiled -- AL has been so fabulous for nearly 2 years (without management interference) that anything less-than-stellar seems... wrong.  This set wasn't as bad as the '81 set last week but it was very Moreyesque.
