Sting wants his MTV; Dire Straits give him Money For Nothing -- same thing.

Paul Young takes a piece of meat with him!  BOS2, still a lovely cover of a lovely H&O tune.

I didn't know that was a Hall and Goats song.  I don't know this Depeche Mode song, but I bet you're liking it.

Hüsker Dü, I'm thinking -- this sounds like Bob Mould.  I never got into them, but I can see how they were influential.

I'll echo that sentiment.  I kinda feel that way about the Replacements too.  They're OK, but what's the big deal?  And I can't get past the association with the kid's game called Hüsker Dü.  Remember that commercial?

wasn't into the Pogues back then, but they've grown on me.

Was that William Hurt talking about how to protect your kids from bad language?  I imagine that was in response to Tipper Gore's PMRC efforts.  What does he have to do with music?

don't remember that game, gotta say.   Although I also wasn't into the 'Mats (as they are called aroud here sometimes), I have to say they have some songs that are accessible in a purely pop sense, like I'll Be You, for instance. And at least Paul Westerberg can carry a tune and his voice sounds pretty good, esp when compared to Bob Mould's.

BOS to Frank Zappa sounding downright sensible.
