13 Jan 2010: a backwards '80s VT

[RGMike]

er, Chartbusters. Whatever.  starting with '89 and working in reverse to '80.

[mshray]

gonna miss today completely with a 10:00 meeting & tomorrow I'll hear the first 2/3 in the car on the way to a 10:30 meeting in Palo Alto.  Would much rather have heard the last two days' sets than this one.

Fogheads must really like these Chartbuster sets, and iirc AL did an '80s one recently (which was better than expected) and it must've gone over big, so here's another.  Wasn't "Walk the Dinosaur" in the Top ten around this time in '89. It'd be a fine TOTHK...

[RGMike]

Oh. My. GAWD!!! BOS Cher, turnin' back tahm!

Woulda been, but instead we get cheeze. Bracing for 10 cheezy songs from one cheezy decade....

[RGMike]

Paw some shuga on may!  For a sec I thought it was Roxette.

Gaz came up w a name for this endeavor: Invertical Tasting

I skipped over Cher (but I'll still give it a BOSFRA).  Def Leppard is a guilty pleasure..

then it was appropriate we started with something as gay as a Cher record!

VHM JBJ, livin' on a prayuh.

oh, it's "Auto-rewind '80s!", sez Jason Jones (if that's really him). PG shows us his big dipper.  This amusement never ends!

If I needed a reminder why I spent the latter half of the 80s listening primarily to the Grateful Dead, this set is providing it. Even the PG is not resounding with me. No BOS candidates so far.

the 80's seemed like a good idea at the time - tho the charts rarely reflected it.

Gotta say I'm entertained so far, and the Cher was one helluva bustout. I'd rather hear this sorta cheeze than the mopey KFOG-playlist stuff Dave used to feature in '87/'88/'89 sets.

and speaking of Dave: heeeeeeere's Huey! (speaking of big dippers)

heh, good one.    We need more of that New Wave in this set.

[RGMike]

BOS2 VH, "Jump" really is one of the great pop singles of the decade.

And why oh why didn't she play "Back in Time" here?  It's so set-appropriate, and a way better song than "Power of Love", as I've mentioned before.  Maybe she didn't use it since it's in her intro montage.
