They play some, but not a lot. Well, probably not Deep Cuts but they play some Classic V & R songs.
I don't like the Smiths or Morrissey solo at all, with the exception of "How Soon Is Now" and "Stop Me If You..." (which I don't love, but I can tolerate).
BTW did someone say Morrissey's dick?

Holy crap! That's what that button does??
Wow, I got that same radio like two months ago and never thought to find out what that button does. I will try it!

Aside from the VJ, or talk stations, that's pretty much exclusively how I listen to SXM. If I have a long trip coming up, I turn the radio on 1/2 hour before it's time to leave so I'll have 9 hours of music pre-loaded for the journey!

Good 8
Okay 6
Bad 26
25. LEAN ON ME – CLUB NOUVEAU
We just did 87. I called this one five weeks ago. Still no 88 yet though which, next week, will make 11 weeks since it was done.
21. NOTHING’S GONNA CHANGE MY LOVE FOR YOU – GLENN MEDEIROS
8. THE FINER THINGS – STEVE WINWOOD
MG said this was the album's biggest hit. Wha?? Try "Higher Love" which reached #1 the previous summer!
1. (I JUST) DIED IN YOUR ARMS – CUTTING CREW
I called it! Woohoo! My friend's son did too. My friend's old roommate went with Heart "Alone", which isn't on the Hot 100 yet, it will top the chart in July.
#49 Beastie Boys "Brass Monkey"
"I got the bottle, you got the cup! C'mon everybody let's get fffffff....."
#74 Peter Gabriel "Don't Give Up"
Shoulda been bigger.
#80 Newcity Rockers "Black Dog"
A Robert Plant impersonator must have borrowed Rick Rubin's drum machine...??
Another band with a Hot 100 entry but no Wikipedia page.
#93 Kool Moe Dee "Go See The Doctor"
"I went to the doctor's office, I said What have I got? He said Turn around boy and take this shot. I looked at him like he was crazy and I said What? Ain't nobody sticking nothing in my butt."
That last line was later sampled by Kid Rock in his Howard Stern-inspired song "Balls In Your Mouth", under a very different context.
Won't reach the top 40
#45 Cover Girls "Show Me"
#49 Beastie Boys "Brass Monkey"
#52 Anita Baker "Same Ole Love"
#54 Paul Lekakis "Boom Boom (Let's Go Back To My Room)"

Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
Heard this song for the first time yesterday. This was one too many times. And it went on and on and on.

I still love this song.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, 80's production values were the best. They put a lot of effort into making the sound special.
Cutting Crew still sounds great playing this live. A buddy sent me this link a week or so ago of them playing it in 2007. The guitar is killer.
I didn't like the Beastie Boys when they first appeared. It was probably because of the guitar solo in Fight For Your Right" but I eventually figured out what is so great about them.
Agreed.
Seems about right. I still crank their version of Funky Town. More great 80's production.
Cheesy, but it works well for the movie, which I'll watch just about any time that it's on.
I'm shocked that you've never heard that before. I couldn't get away from it back when it was out.
I used to work in a furniture shop for a few hours a day after school when I was in high school. I was on at least once a day, sometimes twice.

You have my deepest condolences.

@HecticArt I haven't seen Secret Of My Success since the 80s, but I've been meaning to.
The way you feel about that movie is how I feel about Dragnet with Hanks/Akroyd. Not that it's an incredible movie, it's just fun and I can watch it anytime.
I'm watching that Cutting Crew live performance as I type this. Both performances are really good!
@IdRatherBeSkiing Not sure how you managed to escape that Jody Watley song for so long but yes, once is one time too many. Though I will admit that while I'm no fan of the song, I found my foot was tapping to it like it was Janet Jackson song.

That's another one. It's been on a few times lately. It's got a lot of great lines.
I know, right? And how about that guitar tone? It's killer.

Whiney Houston and Janet Jackson. Not a big fan of post 1985 countdowns. Some good songs on it though but too few.

Not related to this countdown specifically, but related to the VJ. The other forum I've been posting on about the VJ is closing down.... TODAY. Like, bam! And it's gone. I posted an invite (in one specific VJ-related thread only) to follow me here. My post will only exist until the end of the day though, so not many will see it.
