Cue Robbie NeVil!

hey urth, can we get a larger version of your avatar?

From then to you:

[princessofcairo]

bos: bananarama!!

[Gazoo]

Dave has just absolved himself!  BOS2 - and an ATBB? - to Bananarama, "I Heard a Rumour"!

[RGMike]

OMFG!! super duper BOS to the glorious bustout (methinks) of Bananarama's "I Heard a Rumor", one the best of their Stock/Aitken/Waterman catalog.

[RGMike]

BOS2 PG & KB, "Don't Give Up".

[Gazoo]

Rough transition to the poignant buzzkill of "Don't Give Up."  HM, still.

ditto.

Yep, a bustout according to the DB. We've only heard Cruel Summer (2X) and Venus (once) before this.

Peter Gabriel two days running, but the songs couldn't be much more different. Still, this and the Bananarama are my two strongest BOS candidates. Certainly not the U2 that just started.

[RGMike]

VHM REM and one of their, er, "Finest"

[princessofcairo]

bos#2: rem

[Tinka Cat]

BOS REM

[urth]

BOS REM

Likewise. This was the point at which they went from being a nifty little new wave band to playing arena rock.

another VHM LL. Bob's doing '87 tomorrow; be interesting to see how his version (fairly rare in the Drive's rotation) stacks up -- can't be worse, but then I'm sure we won't get Bananarama either
