20 June 2013: it's.... 1980

[Davefish]

BOS for "Tattooed Love Boys". Great song.

[urth]

Not even close to a rarity, but I still never tire of hearing This Beat Goes On/Switchin' to Glide.

This, Ah Leah, and Split Enz I Got You are three songs that immediately harken back to the fall of '80. Will we get the hat trick?

Does this count as a Narada? I never heard it before 10at10.

A Narada is in the ear of the beholder.

Rolling Stones "She's So Cold"

Tower Records commercial into The Pretenders "Tattooed Love Boys"

"Stop snivelin'! You're gonna make some plastic surgeon a rich man!"  Love that line.

BOS4 Stones, just because. She's a sweet sweet beauty. With a sweet sweet booty.

Rolling Stones "She's So Cold"

This song has always struck me as a throw-away, which I also felt about "Start Me Up". I could never account for the success of either of 'em.

Jimmy Carter/Iran into XTC "Generals And Majors"

[RGMike]

one of the uber-uber 1980 LNs: XTC, "Gs & Ms".  In a DC 1980 set we'd be up to LN 4 or 5 by now.  Progress!

Rolling Stones "She's So Cold"

This song has always struck me as a throw-away, which I also felt about "Start Me Up". I could never account for the success of either of 'em.

I agree about She's So Cold -- the whole Emotional Rescue album, really.  Start Me Up I liked at the time with its big guitar riff, but it hasn't worn well.  There are several far better cuts on Tattoo You.

Rolling Stones "She's So Cold"

This song has always struck me as a throw-away, which I also felt about "Start Me Up". I could never account for the success of either of 'em.

I think there was a point, sometime after Exile..., when they were capable of writing "a typical Stones song" in their sleep. I always imagined they tossed them off and stockpiled 'em for use  when needed.

Springsteen "Cadillac Ranch"

[RGMike]

once again FP gets Stones AND Broooce.  BOS5 "Cadillac Ranch".

[CapnJack]

Dire Straits "Skateaway"

[RGMike]

LN2 "Skateaway", another one I just loved back then, but which has made a few too many 10@10 appearances.

With Tattoo You, that's absolutely the case:

The album's producer, Chris Kimsey, who'd been associated with The Stones dating back to Sticky Fingers said Tattoo You, "...came about because Mick [Jagger] and Keith were going through a period of not getting on. There was a need to have an album out, and I told everyone I could make an album from what I knew was still there."[1] He began sifting through the band's vaults: "I spent three months going through like the last four, five albums finding stuff that had been either forgotten about or at the time rejected. And then I presented it to the band and I said, 'Hey, look guys, you've got all this great stuff sitting in the can and it's great material, do something with it
