19 July 2007--it's 1986
« on: July 19, 2007, 10:10:19 AM »
Peter Gunn, Invisible Touch, and In Your Eyes in the 1, 2 & 3 slots.

Is it any wonder '86 is considered such a culturally bankrupt year around here?
Let's get right to it.

No disagreement from me. although I think In Your Eyes is still a great song which has just been played *way* too much.
Now I'm eight bits...

Indeed -- Say Anything helped that along.  Peter Gunn is always fun, IMHO.  There's good stuff in '86 if Dave'd just think outside the box.

I'd have to concede that point.

On the other hand, while not a standout in JB's overall repertoire, in 1986 it definitely is. Possible BOS, barring any surprises. Or Replacements.

Songs that Dave has played once or twice (i.e. not asking him to go too far outside the box) that I'd like to hear again today:

Jeff Beck   Ambitious
INXS   Listen Like Thieves
Rush   The Big Money
Smiths   Bigmouth Strikes Again
Timbuk 3   Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades
Cameo   Word Up

ladies & gentlemen, was that the loooong version?

Here's Mr Hornsby. He called his band the Range, tho' they didn't actually have any :wink:  At least it's not "The way it is" -- so VHM.

VHM "On the Western Skyline", actually a bustout.

and i said, "teacher!" i said, "teacher! what the hell happened?!"

one of the teachers started crying before the rest of us caught on. then kids started crying witout even knowing why they were crying. they were just crying because one of the teachers was crying. then about two minutes later the rest of us caught on.

I always liked "Life's What You Make It", and it's a good segue out of the Challenger clip, but it is now also one of the biggest Katrinas in any year.

Looking back, I note that on June 13-14, we also went to 1979 followed by 1986. And on May 10-11, we did '86 followed by '79. Odd, eh? Or not.

Any Smiths tune would be fab. Ditto the Cameo. and any of these:

Crush on You -- the Jets
Dreamtime - Daryl Hall
Live to Tell or Papa Don't Preach - Madge
We Don't have To Take Our Clothes Off - Jermaine Stewart
Velcro Fly -- ZZ Top

WOS Robert Palmer, shamelessly trying to duplicate "Addicted To Love" -- and god knows I love the man's catalog.
