ha! The Commitments' version of "Mustang Sally" -- a bustout, I'm thinking. And an appropriate one. BOSFRA.

REM's "Radio Song" is borderline-LN. Shame on Stipe for teaming with a homophobic rapper.

You could tell rap had its influence at the time: See Rush's "Roll The Bones".

wow: Electronic, "Get The Message" -- a rarity if not a bustout (I know we've heard "Getting Away with It" a time or 2).  BOS2FRA.

Sweet! There's also "Disappointed", which I wouldn't be if it showed up in 91/92.

I'm assuming "See The Lights". Just listened to that album extensively (a January Amoeba purchase)... "Woman" would be a quality choice.

holy crap: Alison Moyet, "It Won't Be Long" -- can't recall if AL's played this before (I wish we'd get "Invisible" in '85) but Alf is always welcome. BOS3.

I love "See the Lights" but its LN-ness could be greatly scaled back by playing a different song from that album even once for every ten or so "See the Lights" appearances.

Kate Bush covering "Rocket Man"?  I own this EJ tribute CD (Two Rooms) And I'd forgotten this one.  BOS4FRA.

My thoughts as well. Don't think it's Tori Amos. ;)
Let's get right to it.
