the voice sounds sultry, the slow groove is nicely languorous, the original song is awesome... but I never dug this Cowboy Junkies cover

Most yawn-inducing of set for Cowboy Junkies sucking all the life out of Sweet Jane.  What's this song worth without The Riff?

OMG! BOS Tracy Chapman (and I don't say THAT often).  "Baby Can I Hold You" shoulda been a big hit by somebody.

but apparently not Tracy...

eta: I was thinking this was Joan Armatrading at first...

LOL! everybody thought she was Joan A at first, back in '88. 

It was the follow-up to "Fast Car" but peaked somewhere short of the Top 40.  I always thought Anne Murray shoulda covered it.

BOS2 Heathers. "I love my dead gay son!"

BOS Heathers into Johnny Marr's sublimme intro riff, and then Morrissey's lyrics.

BOS for Heathers, and Christian Slater appearing as Jack Nicholson.

"Phlegm-glob!"

is Marr on that LP? this is post-Smiths, I thought he was not involved on that album but I could be wrong.

AAAAAAAAAAAAACK! anything by TTD besides "WW" woulda made this set a keeper.  But... no.

Smiths unquestionably the uber-BOS, but a very big BOS to TT-D'A.  "Wishing Well" is a huge Sledgehammer/Zietgeist tune, and one of those things that one imagines was *this close* to becoming a Penthouse letter.

Pixies get uber-BOS from me, though I've heard this dozens of times in the last few years on RadioParadise.

Pixies supplants Morrissey as my Uber-BOS. 

Hey Rod, how was the show?

I don't see the Penthouse (Forum) connection.  I looked at the lyrics, but they're a little abstract for that sort of venue.
