Dead Poets Society --> "Pictures of Matchstickmen" Camper van B.  Not a bustout, but a VHM at least.

The Rolling Stones, Rock and a Hard Place

Bill Wyman gettin' frisky

And there was much rejoicing in GS-land.

F'real? Even for latter-day Stones?

I haven't looked to confirm this, but there is at least one Snipe who thinks any Stones song is the Best. Thing. Ever. 
Let's get right to it.

Well, to be fair, the dude of whom you speak prefers the less-played gems to your Brown Sugars or Shattereds. Steel Wheels-era, however, is hardly the best of the Stones. Bill Wyman does rock on that track, though.

Point taken. However he did say that, while not his fave, it sounded "like gold" following the Beasties.

Re Wyman: glad he got a chance to shine a bit on that album, since it was pretty much his swan song as a Stone.

so we began and ended with bustouts.  in between... well, this coulda been much worse given the year.  Not bad, but the Beasties were the closest we got to pop/soul/funk, and they're still, um, white.  I'll give it a B-minus.

Agreed about Bill.

It is funny that there's a segment of 10 at 10 listeners who are still primed and ready for this:

AL on FB sez it's a 4-way tie for BOS between Lyle Lovett, Beastie Boys, Camper Van Beethoven, and Morrissey.

ETA: VHM The Cure, which missed out by 1 vote in making a 5-way tie for BOS!
