4 March 2008--it's...1984
« on: March 04, 2008, 09:55:57 AM »
Guessing it's 80s, but regardless of the year, it's damn early. 9:55 and we're in the birthday club...

ETA: Yes, 80s--and it could go either way. However, Style Council is a good start. Let's hope the set doesn't have an Ever Changing Mood.

Dave's is a never-changing mood.  He always plays the Style Council.  No complaints about it, though.

go ahead and jump, Dave.

Sunday I heard the top 14 songs from this week in '84, courtesy of Klassic Kasem -- this was #2 that week, and I'm guessing we hear at least 2 others from that list.  Nena, perhaps? Billy Joel? Genesis? Cyndi Lauper?

I'm hoping for Shannon's "Let the Music Play", but not holding my breath.

Really hoping we *don't* hear any Genesis, nor Yes for that matter. Both those bands were peaking in popularity and sorely lacking for originality in '84.

I took that photo in lobby of Jelly Belly factory Fairfield about five years ago. I knew it'd come in handy someday!  That pic of Reagan is actually made out of jellybeans.

And this is about as far from prog-pop as I could imagine. BOS1 Los Lobos, Evangeline, off their debut Will The Wolf Survive? iirc.

indeed -- Yes were in that top 14 too, on their way down from #1.  Great bit on the Simpsons Sunday: Homer drives a loaner after Marge totals their car and sings "Owner of a loaner car! much better than the owner of my other car!"
