Tom Petty sez "My sister got lucky married a yuppie, took him for all he was worth."
oh 1989, Yer So Bad!

Seriously: What did people like about "Sha Drahv Ma Crhzah"? The lyric is minimal and insipid, the chorus even more so, the beat rudimentary and undanceable. What made it a fricking #1?

Seriously? its an incredibly catchy earworm, and there was much goodwill from the previous LP which sould've hit big but didn't. When did "minimal and insipid" lyrics ever stop a record from going to the top? I loved it at the time; now it's just played-out but I'd never call it awful.

OMFG -- Camper van Beethoven's cover of "Pictures of Matchstickmen" would get a BOS-of-the-Week if I were actually able to listen.

Set's redeemed a bit by Camper Van Beethoven's cover of "Pictures of Matchstick Men."

hear hear. Great flick (but getting Gaz to rent a movie he's never seen is like asking AIG to give back bonuses).

"Wicked Game" is 20 years old? My heart hurts.

BOS to Chris Isaak!

indeed, it was released in '89 but didn't hit until a year or 2 later, iirc.

WOS to Aerosmith.
<snore>

HM to "Let Love Rule." And while Aerosmith did a lot of tedious and interchangeable mid-tempo singles between '88 and '98, I kinda like "What It Takes."

Yep, the 'Mats and the CVB are the two standouts in that set. And it looks like Haley has indeed hired Dave's old intern to type the setlists--"machstick"?!?

It was a big enough hit that my then girlfriend gave me the disc for my birthday in March 1990.

I remember driving around with a cassette a friend had made for me of the LP in Sept of '89. The "Wicked" single however, didn't chart until Dec of '90; the song had been used in David Lynch's Wild at Heart.

Actually I didn't have a girlfriend in spring of '90 (or for that matter the entire 89-90 academic year, my first at UCSB), that memory was from '91. The girlfriend in question was from Berkeley, and her best friend was Chaka Khan's god-daughter. She had pix of them together.
