5 Dec 2011: it's... 1988

[sundaygal]

Gotta BOS The Sugarcubes.  Sorry RG!   

never *got* her. Never will.  Is this a bustout? if so, only one today.

I don't think it's a bustout.

uber-BOS6 Patti!! People *should* have the power, but...

I'm impressed that you can find six BOSes here.

Must be the holiday spirit (of course one was a TV clip). Given that this was a frequent-flier-laden set, nothing really offended me (well except Bjork).

[Here'sToYa!]

Just tuned into the awfulness.

damn, somebody's cranky today! 

I do not STAND corrected. Not feeling moved by what I'm hearing. Kinda stale.

Agree. I hate the late 80's on 10@10.

BOS Steve Earle, frequent flier tho' "Copperhead Road" is. (I've requested "Devil's Right Hand" numerous times to no avail)

damn! Mike and I agree again!

The whole LP is wonderful -- right up there with Born in the USA and Scarecrow as far as "Important with a Capital 'I' " albums of the '80s, and of course it fell into that too rock for country/too country for rock no-man's-land.
