      - Basically a low rent Rick Springfield. -- nm - loosilu Feb 15, 22:19 3
        
        I wonder if they were ever on the show at the same time and, if so, if they ever sang together. - David Feb 15, 22:20 2
        
        Don't think so, but Jack Wagner and John Stamos were in a band together on the show. -- nm - Dano Feb 15, 22:56
        
        I will stand up for Springfield. Wagner was a wannabe. -- nm - loosilu Feb 15, 22:25

  - Seriously, I vividly recall a huge fight over whether "You're the Inspiration" was too obvious a choice for Homecoming Dance. - David Feb 15, 22:17 2
    - I think ours was Forever Young by Alphaville (but I have to check the year on that song). -- nm - loosilu Feb 15, 22:18 1
      - released in 1984. sounds right. -- nm - loosilu Feb 15, 22:20
  - i can tell you years things came out but not when in those years it would have charted - hot dish Feb 15, 22:15 4
    - This list spoke to me as a collective group of songs, but I remember them from the Summer of '85 mostly. -- nm - pslalom Feb 15, 22:16 1
      - For example, I will always link several of these songs with The Tripods trilogy, which I happened to read that summer. -- nm - pslalom Feb 15, 22:24
