The Peak, 02/22/07: It's 1988
« on: February 22, 2007, 07:10:14 AM »
At least we start with a fairly uncommon Wilburys song, Jeff Lynne having taken his entire vocal approach from George Harrison. Then it's Militia Etheridge: bring her some water OR ELSE
“The choir of children sing their song.  They've practiced all year long.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.”

BOS Zevon, "Reconsider Me", from the GREAT, forgotten LP Sentimental Hygiene.  Bless you, Rob!
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

Traveling Wilburys - Heading For The Light
Melissa Etheridge - Bring Me Some Water
Little Feat - Let It Roll
Treat Her Right - I Think She Likes Me
Cheap Trick - The Flame
Smithereens - Drown In My Own Tears
Sugarcubes - Birthday
U2 - Desire
Warren Zevon - Reconsider Me
Pursuit Of Happiness - I'm An Adult Now

Now *that* is a fine '88 set IMHO -- very representative of what I was hearing on the radio at the time, and the only dud (which I'm glad I missed) is Cheap Diane Warren Trick.
