My Top 21 songs from the 1/15/83 countdown (song titles only, absolute faves in bold): Top 10: Down Under, Dirty Laundry, Maneater, Sexual Healing, Mickey, Africa, Rock The Casbah, Heartbreaker #11-20: Gloria, Steppin' Out, The Other Guy, You Can't Hurry Love, Shame On The Moon, The Look Of Love, Goody Two Shoes #21-30: You Got Lucky, Allentown*, Your Love Is Driving Me Crazy #31-40: Shock The Monkey, What About Me, Do You Really Want To Hurt Me * Billy gets my 80s Shooda Dun Betr Pick this week. I know the charts of late '82 and early '83 are a little suspect but how did this tune only make it to #17?
My Top 14 songs from the 1/8/72 countdown: Top 10: Brand New Key, Family Affair, Let's Stay Together, Scorpio, Sunshine #11-20: You Are Everything, Day After Day, An Old Fashioned Love Song, Have You Seen Her #21-30: Respect Yourself, Anticipation #31-40: Theme From Shaft, Baby I'm A Want You, Levon* * Elton gets my 70s Shooda Dun Betr Pick this week. How in the world did this song only get to #24? By the way, if you haven't read Elton's autobiography ("Me"), it's a great read.
Apologies for the later than usual post... I worked four 14-hour days to kick off the week. I should be posting here earlier in the week starting next week.

Bagpipes are not always bagpipes ! Or are there really bagpipes to be heard in the following song ?

Or maybe a drink from Scotland? In the US military phonetic alphabet, Whiskey is W, Tango is T, and Foxtrot is F. And WTF stands for..."wow, really?" Or something to that effect.

Peter Gabriel - Big Time The Bangles - Walk Like An Egyptian Wang Chung - Everybody Have Fun Tonight An Austrian extra: The UntouchablesSince their foundation in the spring of 1986, The Untouchables have played more than 1,500 concerts. These are both major events in front of several thousand listeners as well as around club gigs in an intimate setting with great audience proximity. The repertoire of The Untouchables includes numerous songs of various styles: Rock´n´roll, rhythm and blues, soul, sixties, Tex Mex, etc. This allows the program to be adapted to the respective audience. Two of the numerous highlights in the area of major events were the rousing performances of The Untouchables as support band for Status Quo (July 1998 in Linz) and for Cher on two consecutive days in the Vienna Stadthalle, which was sold out with 15,000 visitors each day (April 1992). By involving the audience in the concert events, The Untouchables practically always succeed in establishing a positive closeness within a very short time. In 1986, the first recording of The Untouchables, the single "Buona Sera", was produced: from my musical category "daydreamer"My motto: "Not always the often heard hits."
