9 July 2012: it's 1983

Ooh, Pale Shelter! Instant BOS3

'83 TFF is less LN than '85 TFF.  VHM from me. This song is forever linked in my mind with Red Rockers' "China", for some reason.

Tomorrow Never Knows the Smithereens. Never heard "Beauty and Sadness" before. Pretty good stuff.

The Smithereens' drummer, Dennis Diken, released an album of great stuff along these lines:

No matter.  Overall BOS from me (and my request, too!)

yes, yes -- released in the UK (and charted there) in late '83. Not a hit here until the following spring. Sorry, I'm a chart geek.

So, I wonder what song holds the record for most different years played in on 10@10. Another question might be: What song would be eligible for the most number of years? I can't see how there could be any disagreement on this subject.

meaning in the most correct/"legal" years? 'cause Dave had a couple songs he used to play in the inarguably *wrong* year, consistently. TFF's "Break it Down Again" is one, iirc.

I think for part one, "total number of different years actually played",
for part two, "total number of different years the song could be 'legally' played".

Re part 1, I was thinking the Nazz's Open My Eyes had turned up in at least two if not three years, but it's in the Shraytabase only under 1969.  So what other song am I confusing this with?

As for part 2,  Bohemian Rhapsody has charted several times I think. My copy of Whitburn only has two entries, but it's woefully out of date (8th edition circa 2004) so there may have been at least one more appearance since.

U2: predictable but still a VHM from me.

Any chance they played the 12" single version?  BOS for me, reading the list.
