Re: Best Album of the 80s Elimination- Round 1

In fact, she had a song Circle of Friends in the early 90's, I might be thinking of her.
GOOD CALL. I cannot believe I forgot to include that album on my best of list. That record is great from top to bottom. The only "hits" off it were the ones you mentioned; "What I Am" and "Circle" but the whole album was solid.
I thought Circle of Friends came out in like 93?? Unless there was a song only called Circle on that album. Very good late 80's style. Her, INXS, REM were breeding the change for bands like Jane's, RHCP, Pearl Jam to take off. In addition to Guns as well. That was a good era, would be cool to create a playlist of those songs.
Re: Best Album of the 80s Elimination- Round 1
No Bruce Springsteen, no REM, and no Prince yet were on to Edie Brickell? Gnr fans are completely insane.:thumbup: I mean when I think of the 80's, I immediately think of Born in the USA, Purple Rain, Thriller, AFD, U2/Joshua Tree and Unforgettable Fire, REM and the growing college rock/alternative rock scene, and Madonna.

Shooting Rubberbands At The Stars came out in 1988. It's got Circle on it, I'm pretty sure we're talking about the same song. This one?:

That's it but after minutes of researching, I'm not crazy. (I started to panic after wikipedia & imdb failed to document what I was thinking).
Her song DID come out in 1988. However, there was a movie of the same name called "Circle of Friends" in 1995. HOWEVER, her song was NOT associated with it or on the soundtrack. Just shared the same name. I think the Edie song did get played a bit more when the movie was out, because I recall hearing it then & thinking it was for the movie.
Re: Best Album of the 80s Elimination- Round 1
Are we gonna be going to a multi-vote poll to speed this up?
No.
Pretty sure I addressed this in the 00s elimination. We tried that in the first couple rounds and the results were being tampered with by some people choosing more than two. We either do this fair or not at all.
Besides, you're a GNR fan for crying out loud. You should love waits at this point.
Its only 20 days.
I voted Pretty Hate Machine thinking we vote for our favourite... I consider it the best album on the list so will be pissed if my vote is the one that kicks it so early from the eliminations
What would you have voted for instead?
