VHM OMD.  I was so happy at the time that they finally had a sizeable US hit.  Their "best-of" is a must-own.


Ditto VHM; I'd just discovered them via "So in Love" and was delighted.

Also HM for "Fall on Me"; I wish Mike Mills had gotten to sing more.

Missed Stevie -- which track?  (I was busy with a pitch letter; sometimes I need silence for my wordplay to work.)


Stevie was "I Can't Wait", but I missed the OMD, which was that?


well, how many "sizeable hits" did they have in 1986?  :wink:  ("If You Leave")

Whee, "Walk Like an Egyptian" still puts a smile on my face.  I always did love their shakers.


lots of guys love Suzanna Hoffs', er, "shakers" :wink:  


I saw a stand up comic do the following bit:

"Hey wanna see my Susanna Hoffs impression?"  (he then rolls his eyes sharply from right to left just like she did in the video.)

HM for Icehouse.  Although I just started listening, so it's BOS so far.


Kudos on naming-the-artist; I haven't heard this in 20 years, I don't suppose.

I didn't listen to hit radio then, and they were all over the alt stations I was listening to.

Very BOS to JJ, "Right & Wrong", love Graham Maby's bass on this.

I'll second the BOS for JJ.  I'm gonna see him do weird versions of his songs at Montalvo.
