VHM the Xanadu commercial. Worst. Musical. EVAH (even with stiff competion from Can't Stop the Music and Mamma Mia!). But the song itself woulda been cheezy fun.

Jon & Vangelis? BOS4!
And don't forget Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.  It's up there.

Oh my yes.  (and Gaz will chime in with The Apple, also a contendah)

Have any of you ever seen the early seventies remake of Lost Horizon?  Inevitably ranked as one of the worst moives of any genre, and I actually saw it in the theater on its first run.

uh-oh -- Dead, I'm reckoning.  WOS from me, just to be snotty.
I'd prefer the upbeat 'alabama getaway'!

"'when the smoke has cleared', she said..."

But the smoke *never* clears at a Dead show! ;)

You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

HM for Althea, one of my favorite down-tempo Dead songs.

I'm with you Davefish.  I think I'm up to BOS 5, which means this is prety good set for the year in question.

Yes, but spelled Keys.

This is the first I've ever heard of it!  Netflix has been flooding me with ads and intro offers lately; maybe it's time ...

VHM to Eng Beat watching themselves while They. Are. Ea. Ting.

Yes, Alicia Keyes, at least from Scarlett Jo generation.

Not only that but she costarred with Scarlett Jo in The Nanny Diaries.  Not nearly as bad a flick as I thought it might be, but then again Laura Linney is incapable of bad work, and Scarlett is incapable of looking bad.
