I'm sick of this "Milky Way" song, too. See- this is why I didn't listen to the radio in '88, dagnabby!

Ladies and gentlemen, the last living Icehouse fan ... Dave Morey!

I can't decide if I like Leonard Cohen's or Concrete Blonde's version of "Everybody Knows" better: Leonard seems to "get" the song more, but I just love Johnette's voice so ...

And the Church's "Under the Milky Way" is threatening to unseat "Good Thing" as the uber-Katrina.

Vertical tasting HFH, eh?  Obviously the years will be 1972-1981 ... or will they?[/list]

(smacking forehead)... God help me... I do remember the George Harrison song, natch. I also remember kinda thinking it was lame. I'm a bad, bad person.

3!

On the plus side- it's the best thing I've heard so far in this set.

A modest proposal for tomorrow:

1973 = The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia
1974 = The Streak
1975 = Get Dancin'
1976 = Float On
1977 = You Light Up My Life
1978 = Copacabana
1979 = I Was Made for Dancin' (ah-ah-ah-all night long)
1980 = Shakedown Street
1981 = Stars on 45
1982 = I've Never Been to Me

Because I don't feel like reviving a Jacko thread in Stream of Consciousness -- anyone else think Macauley Culkin is looking these days like Kid Rock with better hair?

A fine bunch o' tunes. Tho' Dave loves "Get Dancin'" too much to admit it's godawful.  If it really covers those years, my money's on "Half Breed" for '73.  But I'm with ya on Debbie Boone.

Charlene herself -- the song was re-released (and actually became a bigger hit) in 1982.

I was more stunned to learn that she was on the Motown label with that.

And in this market, Shakedown Street would NEVER pass as a Hit From Hell--Dave would be ridden out of town on a rail (and I think it was released in 78 anyway, may have charted in '79.)
