Maggie wants the Falklands --> "You Dropped a Bomb on Me" -- BOS2; the segues are saving this set.

AIDS Discovered --> Elvis C with my request!  BOS  the brilliant"Man Out Of Time"

I missed your requests, but I asked for The Loved Ones from the same album (along with deep cuts from Peter Gabriel and XTC). Happy to hear anything off this album; it's one of his best IMO.
Let's get right to it.

def one of his Masterworks; I always thought "MOOT" coulda been a left-field hit single with the right promotion. (Elvis' "Year of the Cat", if you will)

Agreed. What track from Rio would you have chosen instead?

OMFG: Laura Branigan "Gloria"

ETA: Will she twin-spin it with Melissa Manchester's "You Should Hear How She Talks About You"?  :)

OMFG: BOS3 the fabulous Laura Branigan with her fabulous Donna Summer imitation.

AL's played it a couple times but always welcome.

I'd've settled for "Save a Prayer" but really, "Wolf" didn't chart as a single until late December.

An Officer & a Gentleman --> "Love My Way", another rather well-worn '82 track.

Trio "Da Da Da"

ETA: I would have done a triple play of Laura Branigan/Melissa Manchester/Dionne Warwick "Heartbreaker" to end the set.

Da da da -- I'm Da-da-done.  A butsout, a couple rarities, and 7 LNs, more or less.
