20 YEAR LIST CONTINUES.....

So driving down to San Diego this past Saturday D and I were listening to 93.9. It's a station that plays nothing but 80's and late 70's hits. As we past the giant boobs parked at San Onofre
we are subjected to the tired, hopeless whines of OMD's "If you leave" song from Pretty In Pink. Every time I hear this song It just reminds me that Hugh's fucked up what could have been one of the best nerd gets hottie endings ever! Blane was such a shit eater and Andie fell for it! OK,OK I'm over it....

Another song that threw itself on the 20 year list for me was "Brass in Pocket" by my much loved Pretenders.
Great song yes but It's one of the reasons why the 20 YEAR LIST was started. I've heard it just one too many times. I was telling D that around 1993 I heard a version of it done by Suede on Rodney's show. If you think the original is sexy you have to hear Brett croon and slither those lyrics over the slowed down haunting rhythm. I heard it only that one time. I've been told it was released on a comp called Rubytracks or something like that. It's out of print of course but the version is out there in interwebz space. Hunt it down!
