27 April 2010: another "classic" from 1981

[RGMike]

I remember this set too ... and I still wish we'd gotten the whole Vangelis tune. But BOS5 OMD.

[mshray]

I for one wouldn't have minded hearing more than just a snippet of Vangelis just there.

[Tinka Cat]

this one is NTM, but it's so very wonderfully 80s that it gets another BOS..!

[RGMike]

uber-BOS6 H&O, Full stop!

preemptive WOS from RGMike, Gaz and Alicat

BOS from me and Shray and anyone else who likes quality rock. 

I'm witcha!

In fact, I just bought tickets to see them this summer at Snoreline.  They're gonna do "Moving Pictures" straight through, which is my favorite (by a longshot).

dude!  I think I might be going, too!  I haven't bought tix yet, but I think there are only lawn tix left..?  that's ok, though.. that would be fine.  Oh, and remember: "Today's Tom Sawyer, he get's high on YOU!"

[Big Fingers McGee]

For a future 1981 I'll request "Stars On 45 Medley" just to see what happens.

AAAAAACK!  WOS2 Rush, but of course.

I don't agree with Mike a lot but I'm with him on this. Bleegh!!

Bwahahaha!  I can understand liking them if you were 15 in 1981, but lord have mercy between the horrendous lyrics and Geddy "my voice makes dogs' heads explode" Lee, their status as a beloved Canadian institution never fails to baffle me.

I was close to 15 (was 13) in 1981 and I hated them then.
