WOS "Men Without Shame" -- never really cared for this; a good example of the kind of meathead AOR that was driving people to the still-new "alternative" format at the time.

Can't imagine "Phantom, Rocker and Slick" being released on CD, so I'm betting this is one of 'em.

BOS Bowie/Metheney.  Still a fab song from a great movie.

I love "Don't Stop the Dance", but I don't like it next to "This Is Not America".  The style is just too similar.

Dave, a quick question:
Is this song referring to Keith (raging Moon)?  ... I assume so, but not a Who expert...
Now I'm eight bits...

Well, that never occurred to me.  Never really thought about it, but it doesn't seem likely to me.

It does seem like a likely candidate for vinyl #2.

I woulda said NO too -- nothing in the lyric really gives me that idea -- but this site sez otherwise:

VHM REM "Green Grow the Rushes" -- but will Dave do a "Green" set for St Pat's next Friday? Or an Irish one?

BOS R.E.M "Green Grow the Rushes".  some of Peter Buck's best guitar work imho.

I'm astonished none of you knew about that.  This got a lot of hype on its release with all the guest drummers & what not.  First time I'd ever heard of Cozy Powell, although with his serendipitous last initial he soon joined the reformed ELP for a halfway decent album.
