"Atomic" is not a bad start -- at least it's not "Call Me".  

Ah, but here's "Generals and 'Trinas".
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

We seem to be skewing strongly towards the New Wave so far--Blondie, XTC, and now Peter Gabriel's I Don't Remember, with Tony Levin's pulsing Chapman stick propelling the rhythm. Early BOS.

but here comes Mick (and Reagan?) to our Emotional Res-CUE!  On a fine Ah-rahb chah-jha...

I know a lot of people hate this song and consider it one of the Stones' worst, but I always considered it goofy fun.

I always thought that Mick was taking off on Eric Burdon's rap from Spill the Wine.

I'd never thought of that before, but you're spot on!

BOS to Blondie, but I'm finding it impossible to enjoy music right now.  Like eating food stripped of all taste and smell.  This is not America.

Looks like the Blondie tune will be a deep as Dave is digging today. Everything else has been fine, but nothing too much of a stretch.

BOS2 Split Enz.
