28 August 2014: It's... 1988!
« on: August 27, 2014, 02:35:27 PM »
According to Annalisa: "On the next 10@10 year: Tom Hanks was Big, Dustin Hoffman was Rain Man, but Dan Quayle "was no Jack Kennedy" as said in the VP debate of the day."

Someone posted: "1988 is probably the best and most diverse year of the decade"

Discuss!

(BTW, since she quoted the "no Jack Kennedy" line I requested "Glad I'm Not a Kennedy". Fat chance.)

I can't address the diversity, but based on my collection of 10@10 shows I would peg
the best year as 1982 or 1983.  Somewhere in there is the peak of the "New Wave" wave,
in my estimation.

quite a bit of love on FB for Lita Ford's "Kiss Me Deadly" -- 'twould be a bustout if heard (and it'd make a great former-Runaways twin-spin with Joan Jett's "I Hate Myself For Lovin' You", as the Cap'n has already pointed out).

Rainman --> Rick Astley, a fine TOTHK!  ("Never Gonna Give You Up")  BOS1 for cheeziness alone.

Bentsen/Quayle debate "no Jack Kennedy" -->   Pixies "Where Is My Mind", which woulda made more sense after Rainman. So much for the Shona Laing idea.

Definitely not if you're judging by 10@10s.

This falls in the category of obvious alternative that White Stripes dominates in the '00's.

Fish Called Wanda --> "I Want Your Hands on Me", Sinead. BOS2 for not being the obvious choice.

Has Erasure ever gotten any 10@10 airplay? I forgot that I'd been wanting to request Chains of Love and didn't do it last night.
