I gotta give the Go-Go's a BOS, if any of y'all have this album & haven't listened to it in ages, let me suggest that you give it another listen.  I think it holds up really well, those girls were tight (as a band, that is!)

ETA: How the group formerly known as Seafood Mama beat them out for Best New Artist that year is the 2nd most egregious* failing of that Grammy award.  And I don't suppose y'all need any hints as to what the #1 most egregious was.

Who knows, they may have had that attribute in other ways as well. MMMmmmm, Jane Weidlin...

BOS Roxy for the second time in an hour. This time it's The Main Thing. Love that little bass figure that kicks it off...totally unmistakeable.
Let's get right to it.

Milli Vanilli? Taste of Honey beating Elvis C? It's a long list...

Forgot about TOH, so I'll voluntarily change that to 3rd most egregious.  (Stop me before this turns into a Monty Python sketch).

I still like "Hold Me" but it's a WAY frequent flier.

HM Big Mac, albeit one of their lesser efforts. How many songs is this so far?
