Top Radio Tracks From April 7, 1984

The Eurythmics- "Here Comes The Rain Again" is one of the best recorded songs of all time.

The The.

You can probably hear 30 of those 40 songs on Sirius XM 1st Wave daily. I've always enjoyed the Pretenders and Chrissie Hynde. She grew up in Akron, was involved in the Kent State massacre - her best friend's boyfriend was killed. Moved to London and tried starting 4-5 different bands in the early 70's. During 1 stint, 3 of the band members overdosed while she had to start over again with new band members. In order to stay in Europe and keep her work permit since she wasn't a UK citizen, Hynde tried to get Sid Vicious, and later Johnny Rotten to marry her - neither did. She eventually married and had a child with Ray Davies of The Kinks, they divorced and she married Jim Kerr (Simple Minds).


I saw the Pretenders in 1984 at The Saenger with The Alarm. They opened with Time the Avenger and closed with Precious. Solid show

Wire Train - Chamber of Hellos

Such a great song off of a fantastic album.

Interesting. Nick Saban and Gary Pinkel were both at Kent State during the massacre too. Playing football of course.

Nostalgia just hit like a ton of bricks. Thanks.

Just wait until the pop chart dorks see this thread Anyway,
