16 April 2013: it's... 1986

[radical347]

Well this PG song is a little LN but it's one of my top 5 faves of all time, so BOS4.

[urth]

LN5 PG, "RR"

Coulda been worse. At least it wasn't In Your Eyes or Sledgehammer. Or Big Time.

[RGMike]

don't think we've heard that Levi's/JC Penney commercial before.

BOS4 early LL.

Resistance is futile. BOS for Lyle.

Agree. Lyle FTW. Wish he'd hit another stride like he did from 86 to 92. His albums since Joshua Judges Ruth have mostly been snooze-inducing.

I blame Julia Roberts.

LN5 PG, "RR"

Will RR finish off with a BOS, making it a 50/50 split between BOS and LNs?

[CapnJack]

The Smiths "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out"

[RGMike]

BOS5 Smiths -- wow, a set where BOSes battle LNs for supremacy!

ETA: almost-JINX, Cap'n!  RR actually pulled off that feat. Hit by a double-decker bus, indeed.

Throwing on the Smiths in an LN-heavy 1986 set has become a running theme.

Johnny Marr did this one the other night at the Fillmore.  We loved it!

thank gawd their catalog is big enuf to avoid Smiths-LNs most days. And I can remember a time when we never heard them, and then a time when Dave played the same 2 of their songs repeatedly ("Ask" and "Panic"), so anything else is gravy.

[CapnJack]

Robert Palmer gets BOS sez Renee.

BOS1 early World Party, "All Come True". Probably DC's idea of a rarity.

So I don't get this guy. He keeps your secret for a moment, but since it seems like your sekrit admirer is gonna come back and ask again, he sells you out immediately. Some pal.

I find the song to be evocative of film noir, in which getting screwed over by your supposed buddy
is entirely appropriate.

LN5 PG, "RR"

I don't see any occurrences in the DM era, and only two spins by AL.  That doesn't necessarily
mean it isn't LN, but I think it raises the bar to be so designated.

[dischead]

LN4: Timbuk 3. 

Only two appearances in the DM era, but several during AL's tenure.  I'm too lazy today to
check to see how many of those might be encore sets.

[Big Fingers McGee]

An LN isn't the same as a Katrina.

An LN is a song that gets significant airplay outside of 10@10, that is.

A Katrina is a song with too many 10@10 appearances.

There are some songs that qualify as both.
