15 Jan 2013: it's... 1984

[RGMike]

6. A-/B

ah, YOU'RE the one who actually likes "Smuggler's Blues". 

I consider a lot of these less necessary than you do; and Renee gets a big goose-egg for that radio edit of "Purple rain". That extra-long mix of the Stevie Wonder is certainly rare, and certainly awful.

[Lightnin' Rod]

More of a hit-laden set than yesterday (only UB40's effort did not hit the Top 40).

Good/necessary:

1. A/B
2. B/B
3. C/B
4. F/B
5. A/C
6. A-/B
7. B/B
8. B+/B
9. B/C
10. B/C

No real "haaaay" moments, but not too shabby either.

You're in a good mood today....

VHM "Purple Rain" -- preferable to "When Doves Cry" or "Let's Go Crazy" at this point

WTF is up with the early fade-out??

(ETA: RR apologized for playing the "radio edit")

I loved and love that song and album, but with the elongated ending, isn't the song, like, 27 minutes long? She didn't cut it right after the vocal ended, did she?

It faded right before he starts his big guitar work-out.
