10 July 2017: it's... 1988
« on: July 10, 2017, 09:23:48 AM »
7/10:

On today’s edition of Soundwaves 10@10, we’ll hear the hit single from a model
who posed topless at age 16, the first Doctor Who tribute to hit the charts, and
the song that was covered by a Swedish tribute band – and their song did better
than the original!

Quite a few delightful pop nuggets, more than making up for the FFs.

Have to wonder if Gary Glitter or whoever wrote Rock & Roll Part 2 got a cowriting credit for that Dr. Who song. It wasn't good but there's more than a passing resemblance between the two.
Let's get right to it.
