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.
Let's get right to it.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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:

Quote
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
