one of the worst years on the wheel in the Morey era; make it different, AL!

ETA: Pink Floyd is not an auspicious start...

WOS "Learning to Fly."  Not a bad song, but an awful choice as TOTHK.

A far better selection for Tune #2: my favorite Depeche Mode song, "Never Let Me Down Again."

Lots of good forgotten pop and R&B in '87 that Dave always ignored. I'd LURVE to hear "Talk Dirty To Me" by Poison.  Or some Samantha Fox. And PLEASE -- no Grateful Dead.

VHM Wings of Desire

WOS Hiatt -- does he have to show up in every late-'80s set?

i was wondering what that movie clip was. Wings Of Desire - I recall liking the movie, but I think it might seem dated and pretentious if I saw it again.

Just me, or does this U2 song foretell Queensryche's "Silent Lucidity"?

still better than the Nic Cage/Meg Ryan remake/"reimagining" called City of Angels. Nic is no Bruno Ganz.

never thought of it before, but there is a similarity.  I prefer Bono to the Queensryche guy.
