BOS to Joe Jackson, by far my favorite in his catalog.  "And in a yellow taxi, turn to me and smile ... We'll be there in just a while."

BOS1 - Joe Jackson. If folks didn't figure out this guy was different from Beat Crazy, they sure knew that the difference between Joe and most of the New Wave crowd was Night and Day.

And one comes true already. WOS vote!

I remember a concert with Flock, Joe King Carasco, Squeeze, and The Producers. Great set by Squeeze that night, and that damned synth from the Flock was unbearable. That hair and that echo chamber guitar the entire set!

Don't even have to guess about Men at Work -- they're usually a given. Unfortunately.

Much to my consternation. I have a very low MaW tolerance. Or rather, an allergy to Hay. ;)

I would *love* for "What's He Got?" to come up in this set.

I'm calling out for some Peter Gabriel, and would not be surprised to hear a little early U2 either--October was out in '82, no?
