good chance of Springsteen, U2, or perhaps Billy Joel!

VHM Split Enz "I got you", although it's a frequent flier in 1980 sets

Also liking this Marianne Faithfull - Broken English. But is this a replay set?

LN "Number One". Inoffensive, but overplayed.

BOS Martha and the Muffins, "Echo Beach". NTM, and a fun counterpart to "Rockaway Beach".

BOS for the George Jefferson, RIP. Guess this must be a new one.

And BOS for "Once in a Lifetime" and it's weirdo video.

Most LN of Set: Talking Heads "Once in a lifetime"

I love TH but this song is soooo overplayed. How about their "take me to the river" cover instead? I guess that was 1979

BOSes Marianne F (technically '79 but whatevs) and the fab Martha & the Muffins. uber-BOS Queen for not being the two big hits from that year. The rest: are you kidding me?
