Monday 5/4/09: 1988

Pet Shop Boys -Always On My Mind

Poison -Nothin' But A Good Time
Rick Astley -It Would Take A Strong Strong Man

I'd BOS the PSBs (whose new album is selling unexpectedly well) and HM the Cure, which I'd love even more if I'd had a crush on anyone at the time it was out.

At least it wasn't a Rickroll.

Human League -Mirror Man
Quiet Riot -Cum On Feel The Noize
Lionel Richie -You Are
Men At Work -It's A Mistake

nice to see someone play HL's "Mirror Man" instead of the usual.

Wednesday 5/6/09: 1992

10,000 Maniacs -These Are Days
Guns N' Roses -Live and Let Die
Saigon Kick -Love Is On The Way
K.L.F./Tammy Wynette -Justified and Ancient
Toad The Wet Sprocket -All I Want
Color Me Badd -All 4 Love
Right Said Fred -I'm Too Sexy
Sophie B Hawkins -Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover
Queen -Bohemian Rhapsody

aaack! even Austin isn't immune to the Katrina that is Color Me Badd and the HFH that is RSF.  And playing Queen's "BR" in '92 is a cheat, even if it was a bigger hit the 2nd time around.   But kudos on Sophie B and Tammy W.

Those are all great songs, but truthfully, only the Neil Diammond track makes it more interesting than listening to, say, The Drive's regular programing.

It is def one of the more pedestrian 9@9s they've done since I've started tracking them.
