BOS2 eagles; BOS3 Nick Lowe

Also, two consecutive songs with double negatives. So, the Greeks actually want freaks, and Nick thinks it's funny again.

Wasn't a huge fan of Greeks/Freaks at the time it came out (seemed kind of forced to me) but in the context of this set, I'll give it a B+, and a borderline BOS vote.

BOS Nick Lowe, Crackin' Up, and extra points for not being Cruel To Be Kind.

VHM to Tim Reid intro'ing Nicolette Larson.

An A+/F? I'll pay more attention to the former and likely make it my BOS.

it was their attempt to sound new wavish on an otherwise fairly boring LP.

Might be LN, but Chic adds some spice to this.

This Chic is probably in the same good but not necessary category, and I'm reacting the same: co-BOS.

also LN: Chic. And roller skates, roller skates.

"Greeks" is something like the 5th request I've gotten played since the new PD took over. Coincidence?  And it was kind odf an afterthought when i was posting last nite

Elvis "Peace Love Etc" is kinda LN.

This song works on too many levels for me to consider it not necessary, but of course YMMV.

The Chic song gets points for being the only non-white act so far, but we've heard it far too much to be necessary (granted, that argument could be applied to the EC tune, too).
