22 Jan 2014: it's... 1987

George Harrison "When We Was Fab"



A deeper cut from Cloud Nine could get BOS...

And speaking of solo albums that spawned supergroups, I'd guess that the sessions for Cloud Nine played a part in the genesis of the Travelling Wilburys. No complaints with this one.

[CapnJack]

Renee has counting issues: BOS win to Robbie Robertson, (2nd) place - George Harrison, (3rd) show - The Alarm, with VHMs to Lou Gramm, Bangles, Depeche Mode and Jane's Addiction. (I think I got that down right...)

Fatal Attraction --> Hiatt's orig "Thing Called Love"

I'm rather enjoying this version--got a bit more balls than Bonnie's megaplatinum re-do. And this album eventually spawned Little Village, four or five years later.

I note that he sings "prideful thing" where Bonnie sang "Powerful thing"

OMFG: Big Fingers gets his Lou Gramm!

TinkaCat would not be disappointed either, since he and Lou are homeboys.

Lou Grammatico can do no wrong.

At some point I'm going to compile a Top 10 GS LN comment list. The above would be included, along with:

"Not A Giants Fan...."
"Here in Detroit...."
"Lurve My 70's"
Wine-themed meme

And to show that present company aren't excluded:

"It's 199X... I'm outta here".

Robbie Robertson "Somewhere Down The Crazy River"

BOS from me.  I haven't heard it in a while.  It's appeared a few times on 10@10, but not enough
to qualify as a FF.  KFOG certainly played it a lot in 1987.  I also really enjoy the Alarm track, which
is relatively new to me -- I've only heard it occasionally for the past dozen years or so.  I found the
rest of today's set to be largely uninspired, with a moderate LNQ.  Especially George Harrison, since
I've been listening to 103.7's Saturday Morning Beatles for the past few months.
