23 Feb 2012: it's... 1992

[RGMike]

LN2 or 3: BNLs. But not *real BNLs, that's cruel.

[Tinka Cat]

Rush could teach this Canadian band a thing or two.

BOS Move This!  I requested Snap!...but this'll do just fine.

[Big Fingers McGee]

Barenaked Ladies fall into the camp of "liked them when it was fresh, but it sure hasn't aged well".

[RGMike]

VHM LL.

Barenaked Ladies fall into the camp of "liked them when it was fresh, but it sure hasn't aged well".

yes, esp that song.

Lyle Lovett sounds Loverly compared to the BNLs today.

Geddy should teach them to... "Take Off!!"

[Gazoo]

WOS Lyle Lovett; nothing personal, I just don't like this kind of music.

Lyle Lovett sounds Loverly compared to the BNLs today.

Rush, on the other hand, holds up quite well, except for perhaps "Roll The Bones" (but which would fit this set well).

Coming soon: An FB post on ten big hits from the late 80's/early 90's that are all-but ignored by radio today.

[RGMike]

uber-LN: Toad. 

[Gazoo]

The Fixx : '80s :: Toad the Wet Sprocket : '90s

[radical347]

VHM to LL.
Fixx>Toad, in my opinion.

[Tinka Cat]

The Fixx : '80s :: Toad the Wet Sprocket : '90s

So ... one things leads to another?

[RGMike]

if we get a Bodyguard clip but not an actual Whitney song it would be cheating.

VHM Annie L. This hasn't been bad, exactly, just very pedestrian.

[Tinka Cat]

VHM to LL.
Fixx>Toad, in my opinion.

I agree w that.  But the Fixx were popular when I was glued to the radio.  By the time Toad was hopping around, I moved away from listening as much. And Toad is way mellower than the Fixx, who had a real edge.

I saw them open for the Police in 83
