VHM for the less-played Simple Minds (right?).


less-played?  I'd say this is a frequent flyer if not a borderline K.


I think he means compared to Don't You Forget About Me or Alive and Kicking.

OK, Cars--the all-UK streak has ended. And a solid WOS contender to boot.

Strictly British set so far (or am I spacing something--entirely likely)?

Gabriel, Haircut, Jam, Stones--was there something else played so far?


indeed and now Simple Minds (well, UK at any rate).


Great Britain includes Scotland, the UK includes No. Ireland.


So Van Morrison would keep the streak going, but U2 wouldn't.

I'm sure there must be other bands from Belfast or Northern Ireland, but damned if I can name any.

I know Super Hit Six... Super Hit Six is a friend of mine... Dave, this Cars tune is no Super Hit Six.

VHM Mick'n'Keef, standin' in a doorway.


Anyone besides me remember who is playing sax on this?  Somewhat surprising answer.

BOS #4, "I Confess", one of my top 5 break up songs of all-time, with a great trumpet solo & a fistful of great lines:

...I've done too much of both kinds of whining...

...being dead don't hurt, no, only dying...

...I could have phoned, I could have spoke, but how to break the news without breaking your heart?

...it's not a joke, it's cards-on-the-table time...

...please get out! I know I'm shouting, I like to shout!

speaking of great lyrics, this is one of my favorites of the entire decade:

I tried my imagination, but I was disturbed.

Mark Hollis has one of those voices that you'd recognize anywhere.
