And the princess wins the "start the thread" derby by a nose!

(Explanation: Both Mike and I started threads as well, but hers was first on the board. Mine's now mere dust in the ether.)

BOS to "True Faith."  '87 got no better than this.  I remember very vividly hearing the song for the first time by seeing the video right before I left for bowling (I was in a weekly Sunday league, duckpin-styley).

And possibly a little dig from DM by way of Crowded House? I don't remember hearing the clip with Downtown Julie Brown before (assuming it's an MTV Vid award snippet).

Overplayed though it is, "Don't Dream It's Over" remains something of a sledgehammer for me: I was a Pgh finalist in the Scripps-Howard spelling bee that year, and heard this song 3 times on the way to the finals.  (Some consolation for me: the girl who won ultimately won the whole shebang.)

And since someone's gonna ask: I was eliminated on throstle, which apparently is something one does to wheat.

If it makes you feel any better, I have never seen that word before this very moment.

you were throttled by throstle.

"DDIO" is a great single, one of my 10 best that year , but KFOG has ruined it for me.
