Now you're talking my kinda music. Sigh. The good old days when MTV actually showed videos.
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Also, for some reason I didn't realize that REM was popular enough to have a video in 1988 (the copyright date for the video of Stand I just saw).
I remember "The One I Love" being all over top 40 radio (or whatever passed for it then) somewhere in '86-'88.

Now I can't get "Horse with no Name" out of my head.
Go team schadenfreude!

I have discovered that it is impossible for me to type "Rosecrans Ave." correctly on the first try. It will always be Rosencrantz, with me wondering where Guildenstern went.

oh, Frank, finally we agree. Yes, I know it's wierd, but I love both Dokken and Talking Heads.

'87, I think.
(I had cable, and was the one who taped videos for people without cable from 1986-1990. If my brother didn't suck, I'd still have the archives. Sadly, he does, and they were destroyed.)

Our college graduating class of '88 theme song was "It's the End of the World As We Know It," so REM was definitely popular before then, especially on college radio. I used to get them confused with OMD, actually.

Yeah, I remember it being huge in 87-88, it was our theatre troupe theme song.

Sophia, did you see where I linked to Scooby Road in the Buffy/Angel thread?
Yes, but there is something corrupt (so it says) and it will not unzip for me :(
I guess I was way out of the REM loop. I remember all those songs being popular with a certain subset of people who had tapes from concerts, and not at all Top 40. However, I will fully admit that I stopped listening to any music except musicals and Bernstein's Mass from about 1987 - 1995
Also, the graduating class of 1988 at my school had Styx's Sailing as their theme and we played the Carpenter's "We've only Just Begun" as the preshow music. So I am thinking my town was WAY behind the times

And Pat Benatar's greatest hits.
I refuse to feel shame about owning an album that has "Promises in the Dark," "One Love," "All Fired Up," "Shadows of the Night," "Hit Me with Your Best Shot," "Invincible," AND "Outlaw Blues" on it.
