15 March 2010: It's 1978

[urth]

And Eddie's got Two Tickets to Pittsburgh...er, Paradise.

[RGMike]

BOS Van the Man -- a deejay fave, as radio-referenciing songs usually are.

[RGMike]

Hey you with the 'Trina face -- yeah, Mr Blue Sky, I'm talkin' to you.

[RGMike]

VHM Genesis, tho' I tend to be in the minority in liking this one. At the time my feeling was "about time they had a hit single!"

[urth]

Dude, it's PROG ROCK. Oh wait...maybe not.

it's prog rock-transitioning-to-adult contempo.

BOS2 DS, "Water of Love"

[urth]

Knopfler et al get my BOS vote so far. And BOS2 to Gilmour, There's No Way Out of Here.

[RGMike]

VHM the remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.  Nice seg to Gilmour's "No way Out of Here"

[mshray]

getting to listen for once, but not much chance to post.  Eddie Money still gets a BOS from me after all these years, as does Knopfler & Gilmour.  So far this whole set sounds just like what I was hearing on the radio in '78.

Nice to hear two of my favorite geetar players.  Add Santana and you'll have all of 'em -- maybe "All I Ever Wanted" came out around 78?

ETA: Marathon came out in 79, but Inner Secrets was from 78.  "Well All Right" would be swell.

[RGMike]

BOS3 rare Police. Nice to see AL back in bustout mode.

[urth]

BOS3 The Police when they were cutting-edge (that didn't last long). First bustout of the day, and a nice choice at that.

ETA: Gordon et al had just one appearance in '78 prior to this: Can't Stand Losing You, way back in '05.

[RGMike]

BOS4 Blondie in the phonebooth -- it's the one acrawss the hawl.

[RGMike]

Woo Hoo! BOS5 Buzzcocks, "What Do I Get?"

[mshray]

I knew Annalisa wouldn't forget to throw in a little punk rock!
