Not terribly sad that I'll be missing this one. But three cheers for the Pop Cheeze Brigade.

So far: Ok to decent songs, but not anything earth-shattering.

Icehouse, along with RGM's favorite song of all time, "Don't Dream It's Over", are what I would consider "pioneer AAA material". Not that it's necessarily a bad thing.

Well, 0% pop cheeze so far, and 100% AAA or MOR rock. Standard late '80's fare. This Psychedelic Furs is a good one, but I imagine it grades out pretty low on your necessary ratings.

Indeed. 1987 is chock full-o-"songs that seemed cool at the time but here in 2014 we really don't need to hear anymore". At least, that's what 10@10 would have us believe.

The Witches Of Eastwick (another Cher flick) ---> Echo and the Bunnymen "Lips Like Sugar"

ETA: Really need a dose of pop cheeze now after the Psy Furs/Echo Bunnymen twin-spin...

I like this song a lot, but like my other favorites from this set (Furs and Julian Cope) could stand to be grounded from their frequent flights for years to come.
