Good suggestions on AL's 10@10 page; suddenly the dreaded years on the wheel are less dreaded.

OTOH: Take back Tom Petty!

Take back your Joe Piscopo.  WOS1 to Petty.  I'm expecting something from Rattle & Hum.

sorry, R&H is '88  -- "in the year of elections"

WOS Hiatt -- Bonnie improved this one greatly.

WOS2 "Thing Called Love."  I hate this song no matter who sings it.

HM to "Animal."  The Hysteria album took a while to take off and had an interesting trajectory for its singles: first single "Woman" made the Hot 100 but missed the Top 40; then "Animal" went Top 40 but missed the Top 10; then the title track hit #10, then the fourth single, "Love Bites," finally went to #1, and the fifth single, "Pour Some Sugar on Me," was the best-known of them all.

hot tramp! daddy's li'l cutie!  If you'd told me the year before that a 2nd, different "Rag Doll" would hit the charts 20-something years after the 4 Seasons... and that it'd be a hard rocker... I'd've never believed it.

I always marvel at how much Pope JP-II sounded like Bela Lugosi.

BOS2 New Order -- AL loves her some N.O.

Michael Jackson talked to me...

BOS "True Faith," the song that won me over to New Order.  I remember watching the video one Sunday morning just before leaving for bowling (I was in a duckpin league at the time).

Flying in the face of fashion, sounding a bit like Squeeze's contemporaneous "Hourglass" in a way.  Set's gotten tedious.
