Actually, Bob's not averse to the occasional cheeze dip, but that was a double-dip.

WOW!  One of the EMP presentations was on Phil Collins' "Against All Odds."  


and what was that about? they defended it? trashed it? compared it to "I'll Never Love This way Again"?


The mystery of his critical/cultural rehabilitation, mostly: Mariah Carey covered "Against All Odds" and went to #2 in England with it, and a bunch of R&B artists did a covers album of his work called "Urban Renewal."  It included a schizo reimagining of "Sussudio" by Ol' Dirty Bastard.

The presenter took great pleasure in exposing Phil as an ass: Around this time he did an interview with Playboy in which he took great pains to rag on Barry Manilow and distinguish his meaningful work from Barry's fluff.  (I know, I know.)  Highly entertaining.

WOW!

If you didn't switch out immediately you are being treated to Bad Company's "Seagull".  One of those Deep Tracks songs that justifies the whole concept.

Wow, I was unaware of that -- is he really that clueless as to what an astoundingly faithful clone of Manilow's writing/production style "AAO" is? Yikes.

Bowie's "1984" would have been wonderful to hear in its entirety.  I'll settle for the rain on Annie, though.


interestingly, the Eurythmics were on the sndtk of the movie 1984. Doubleplusgood!


Our guest deejay friend on the back announce said that Eurhythmics were all the rage in 1984, but that's not true!

These guys were:




(hopefully you can make out the album title)
