OMG.  BOS1 Doin' Da Butt...haaaaay!

BOS2 Pebbles - "Mercedes Boy".  Cruising's' all you have to do!

WOS1 "Where Do Broken Crack Pipes Go?"  Lovely vocals, but dayum, can't get past the crappy music and insipid lyrics.  Sorry, gurl.  That being said...I still have a soft spot for Chicago's ballads.  

BOS3 "Pour Some Sugar On Maaaae"  Dumb song, but such a guilty pleasure.

WOS2 Glass Tiger.  Why?

BOS4 Al B. Sure!  Bringin' back some memories there.  Not sure if that's a good thang.   ;)

BOS5 Lita Ford "Kiss Me Deadly".  I forgot how good this song was!  Wonder if this is about her relationship with Nikki Sixx.  Jeez, who hasn't he dated?

VHM Brenda Kay Starr - "I Still Believe".  Another song bringing back memories.

WOS2 Pebbles.  Never cared for "Mercedes Boy," its lame lyric or its nonsense title (the chorus renders a comma between the two words).

I think that was her idea of clever wordplay. Still beats "I Wanna be a Cowboy"  ;)

Glass Tiger had *FOUR* Top 40 hits??  Even CKRU doesn't play all 4 of 'em -- what does THAT tell ya?

Dear Poison: I *love* "Talk Dirty To Me", one of my favorite rock singles of the '80s. The rest of your oeuvre... notsomuch.

WOS2 Cheap Trick -- gawd this one has been inescapable lately.

VHM Al B Sure! (don't forget that exclamation point!), with some early New Jack Swing.

How much crappy '80s rawk can one chart hold? WOS3 Aerosmith. But uber-BOS2 lovely Lita -- she didn't get laid, she got in a fight. Or something.



another cokehead heard from: Natalie Cole pop-ifies Brooce's "Cadillac".

If it weren't for 10@10, I'd be BOS-ing TTD's "WW" ASAP. Instead I'm screaming like a banshee.

Brenda K Starr does her Stacey Lattisaw imitation; Suave does of the least-necessary covers evah. WOS4.

Times Two's "Strange But True" is, to me, new. They're from Pt. Reyes!

VHM Cher, sleeping alone.

Hour 3 begins at the intersection of Alphabet St and the Valley Road.

VHM MJ and dirty Di. BOS3 OMD.

Shameless Ripoff Award: Debbie Deborah Gibson, "Careless Foolish Whisper Beat"

Nice salute to the Henhouse Five Plus Too.

Belinda Carlisle: least-necessary solo career evah?  VVHM the Jets' creamy-dreamy "Make it Real".

HM Icehouse; BOS4 the Deele's "Two Occasions", one of the loveliest pop ballads of the period.

Another BOS for "Dreaming."  HM to Debbie Gibson's "Hey, if George Michael can write 'Careless Whisper,' so can I!" moment.

VHM Belinda's "Circle in the Sand"; I'd forgotten how good this sounds.  Her later cover of "Summer Rain" was a logical follow-up; I wish it'd done better.

Wait...streaking was a fad in the 70s?  What?  Like the Pet Rock?

WOS3 Everyone's Favorite Tongans The Jets.  A lot of these late 80s songs would've sounded much more tolerable with some real instruments.

BOS4 the Deele's "Two Occasions", one of the loveliest pop ballads of the period.

Agreed!  

Do we hear Falco every week??  Weird LDD, BTW.  Who forgets to call his daughter on her 16th birthday??

BOS8 Brenda Russell - "Piano In The Dark".  Didn't care for this song then, but sounded great to me today.

WOS4 White Lion.  Uncle!

BOS9 PSB - "Always On My Mind".  Now that's how you cover a song!

WOS5 Foreigner.  Oh, how I want to live without this crappy song.

Gotta give BOS5 to the "extra" of Mr Carmen's fantabulous "Make Me Lose Control". Bay-bee, BAY-bee!

Hour4 starts with yet another gorgeous ballad: BOS6 "Piano in the Dark"

WOS5 White Lion. Yeesh.

and a final BOS before I exit: we've been RickRolled!
