"Radio Clash" is pretty LN-ish too, but at least it's not "Magnificent 7".

Oy: didn't need red leather pants today. WOS Loverboy.

Given the surprising above-average-ness of last week's sets, I'd have to call this a disappointment today.

guessing '80s.

Yep. Just heard a hint that said "the year that gave us MTV." (Which is a hint they've used before more that once, I think.) Which means 1981, yes?

Some day they should use "the year MTV stopped playing music" (199?).

Can't say I disagree. A few OK songs (TomTom Club, Pretenders, Clash, Squeeze) but none of those are the best those artists did in '81.  And there's also a few songs that well represent the crap product that record companies were dishing out before "rock of the 80s" hit big the next year (Red Rider, ZZ Top, and -- ewww, yuck -- Loverboy). ZZ Top should particularly be ashamed of the "product" they became.

Pac Man sounds into Tom Tom Club, an AL fave.

When I heard the Pac Man clip I thought it might be the beginning of Buckner & Garcia's
"Pac Man Fever."  It'd be fun to hear that again... I have the 45 in my collection.
