18 Nov 2009: I'm guessing something '80s-ish (1988)
« on: November 18, 2009, 09:57:31 AM »
Well, I have to be right occasionally... "Only a Memory" indeed. Please let there be some surprises.

wonder if we'll get "Turkeys" next week?

Pretty good start with the Smithereens.  It's still OK to rock in the 80s.

As overplayed as "Roll With It" is, it still sounds good to me.  I remember being really happy about it then.  Steve Winwood's vocals sound great -- a real throwback to the Spencer Davis days.

VHM T-Heads, but I'm really hoping for a bustout to knock my sox off.

I think I saw Stevie around this time.   He put on a great show...

Talking Heads Flowers is one of their few post-Speaking In Tongues songs I like ...

The highways and cars
Were sacrificed for agriculture
I thought that we'd start over
But I guess I was wrong

Now we just eat nuts and berries

okay, I've held out as long as I can, but I finally have to give a WOS to The Proclaimers.

I guess you won't be hayverin' to them! (or whatever that word is)

Indeed, an overexposed song, esp since it's "legal" in 2 diff years.

okay, I take that back,  BOS Proclaimers + segue into Lockerbie plane crash.  Dare we infer the hope was that Craig & Charlie would have been on the plane in an alternate universe?  Or refueling at the petrol station or...

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

Pretty rare Tracy Chapman, but it doesn't do anything for me.
