That'd be a Chaka-delic deli.

Surprised Kid Rock never sampled this one. (AFAIK.)

harsh, dude.  I think (later sellout aside) it's a compelling song; I'm guessing if you were approaching middle age in 1986 this one really hit home.  And now that Bruce is in bed with WalMart, all the rockers Dave Marsh criticized in the '80s & '90s should get an apology from him.

Van Hagar get higher and higher -- "That's What Dreams are Made Of" always sounded like it was written to be the follow-up to "Jump"; one of the few Hagar-era VH tunes I can totally imagine Diamond Dave doing.

BOS REM, "Fall on Me".

As Bob's '80s sets go, not that bad; certainly a decent snapshot of AOR that year.  But what I'd've given for some pop-soul from MJ, JJ or Jermaine Stewart.
