OMFG: Fairground Attraction's fantabulous "Perfect". uber-uber-BOS3.

Most definitely. Props to the good captain for requesting this.

There's a cover by a country act whose name escapes me which is also fantastic. Or maybe Fairground Attraction's version is the cover.

Baillie and the Boys had a Top 25 Country hit with it a year or 2 later. And yeah their version's great too.

I actually requested this a couple of days ago for the '90 set.

The Church with another LN-y selection, "Reptile".

BOS4 "I'm an Adult Now"

By my count, that's 10. No Patti Smith.

Patti turned up on "Live from the Lunchbox" at noon.
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

I've been having some good luck with AL playing my '88 requests:

Lita Ford "Kiss Me Deadly"
Robyn Hitchcock & The Egyptians "Balloon Man"
Fairground Attraction "Perfect"

For a second there, I thought she might play my request for Brenda Russell's "Piano In The Dark".

Hope you think that my requests at least perk the sets up a little!
