Thanks for sharing that Drew.
I didn't even hear of U2 until 1983 with New Years Day being playing on the radio. It was out of character for me to buy that album but I did along with the Tears For Fears album that was out at the time with Pale Shelter on it. I was in my early twenties with not a lot of cash for music and in College so again I took a chance based on an incredible song. "War and "Joshua Tree" are my favs. Those albums take me back in time. |

Funny that these were said because hearing Boy played, start to finish, on a radio station in East Lansing, Michigan in 1981 was an event that I'll never forget. I don't remember the station's name (WLAV? maybe?), but they'd play "new releases" at midnight on Friday or Saturday nights. I just happened to be visiting friends at MSU, spent the night, and we listened to the show. I remember being transfixed--with the exact words forming in my brain being articulated to my friends: "This is the new Pink Floyd". Even funnier thing: I had just returned from a semester abroad in East Anglia (UK) where I was enrapt with the "pop hits" of the day--which included "I Will Follow" and "Out of Control" (along with "Generals and Majors" and various other tight, light, perky songs from the Summer/Autumn of 1980) and yet these "pop" hits sounded so different in the flow of Boy's seemless progression through a young boy's life. Another aside: I got to see them live on their October tour in the Fall of '81 at a small dance bar in EL called Dooley's. The band did every song from both albums and "Gloria" twice (as its encore)-because that's all the material they had at the time. Little Bono walked around among the audience with his microphone singing songs while shaking hands with audience members. Very intimate and heart-felt show. I kind of lost my enthusiasm after October, though there have been great songs ("New Year's Day", "Two Hearts Beat as One", "Boomerang", "Unforgettable Fire", "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking for", "Bullet the Blue Sky") and concerts that were awesome. |

This is the first year it starts getting really tough to find decent material even remotely rock-oriented. I'm really stretching here:
1. Three - To the Power of Three 2. Billy Currie with Steve Howe - Transportation 3. Andy Summers - Mysterious Barricades 4. Steve Hackett - Momentum 5. Enya - Watermark 6. Mike and the Mechanics - The Living Years 7. Moody Blues - Sur la mer 8. Robert Plant - Now and Zen 9. Thomas Dolby - Aliens ate my Buick |

Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

Weak year for me... 2. Marillion - B'Sides Themselves 3. Deja-Vu - Baroque in the Future 4. It Bites - Once Around the World 5. Vangelis - Direct 6. Queensrÿche - Operation: Mindcrime 7. Hawkwind - The Xenon Codex Could make it to 9 if I included the Marillion and Pink Floyd live albums. I hesitate to put Eloy's Ra at 10.

Hey this is pretty awesome! Looking at the line-up it's no wonder it reminded me of Arcana - Arc of the Testimony

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |
