Finally went the summer of 1996...😑 First there is nothing "Country" about it, it's Yonkers NY. It was just your average carnival, only it was held at Yonkers Race Way. It was pretty bootleg but I was happy to finally see what all the hype was about. I had a cool time, plus weather was beautiful that day.

If you haven't seen the documentary Class Action Park I highly recommend it.

I have the Van Halen CD, Single, Tin Can versions Also, I own the Van Halen Japanese Version of Balance Very Interesting Cover and the Bonus Track Feelin' I have a couple of Live Albums as well. Keep on Rock'in Class of '84 USN(RET)

Great topic Steve definitely agree with van halen 3 I've tried and tried to find some good songs on it but no very disappointing

I have never heard Cyberpunk (In fact, many of these I have never heard) and, while I love Simple Minds, I lost track of them after 1989.

Good Old days

Hi Steve. I was playing along even before your first choice ... I really liked the Strokes' 'Angles' too. I remember playing it loads when it came out. It's been very frustrating being a fan of the band. They never built up any momentum, taking long breaks between releases and sometimes releasing substandard material. Have you got any of Albert Hammond Jr.'s solo material? I saw him live in a small club and was very impressed. I was a little star-struck! ... My first X album was 'Ain't Love Grand' and I wondered what all the fuss was about. As you say, the problem was the producer ... I thought you might have shown the Clash's 'Cut The Crap'. I'd also include Public Image Ltd's 'The Flowers Of Romance'.

I love this concept. I might have to put something like this together. To be fair, I am a Weezer fan, so half the albums are disappointments, a handful are classics, and the remaining sliver are the "just average". I still haven't been fully disappointed by The Strokes - if anything, I find First Impressions of Earth uneven and bloated.

The Who is one of my all time favorite bands but 'Endless Wire' is by far the worst album I've heard by a great band. It never should have been released.

I don’t even remember seeing that Who CD before. Sounds like some purging to me Steve.

Steve,you need 10K

I love Comedown Machine the songs 80's Comedown Machine is one of my favourite songs of all time and as well as Tap Out, Welcome To Japan and Slow Animals are just such amazing timeless classics. I personally think its better than Angles.

The only one of those that I have is the Who. I always hate it when an album doesn't meet expectations. It happens a lot. Show your love and support for the Alan Rosenberg show. He's been flagged for showing sexy album covers!!!! It's an outrage. Since when is sexy wrong??? I hear he may do his next video nude😂.

Flying a Concord vs. Piper comment by Alex ... Love you Alex but please , STFU! DLR is Classic VH. Sammy can't pull off the Dave songs.

Hi Steve - Its always a disappointment when a favorite puts out something not just mediocre but awful ! In 2008 both The Cure & Oasis put out unforgivably bad records. In the 90's many acts tried ( & failed ) to stay relevant like Billy Idol , INXS , Human League , ABC & both Van Halen & Genesis resorting to new vocalists ! The time comes for many where they should live by touring & merchandise & not lose fans by putting out subpar material.

Yes, I like Billy Idol’s Shock To The System, but I never wanted to check out Cyperpunk. I’ve never been a fan of The Strokes because of their guitar sound and their vocals.

Love the topic of course. Great choices (you don't see those everyday) - Billy Idol, Simple Minds, Van Halen. I'm so with you on Endless Wire!!! And the drumming on Endless Wire is so lame for The Who. Nice to see you didn't include Primitive Cool and Dirty Work.

Some Kind Of Wonderful. Worst movie of the bunch/best soundtrack. Planes, Trains and Automobiles is a favorite of mine. I loved John Candy.

Wow!

Great analysis . I have the same shirt and also am a SH fan. I'm jealous you got to see them! They absolutely are an awesome band. I agree "Kiss and Tell" is the best. I feel literally the same way about each album You have all the same CD releases I have (tho I'm missing Suits Anyone and Sparks). Both versions of Jennie Bomb, both of Cmon Lets Pretend I have compiled all the songs from the different releases into an uber Jennie Bomb release with a great track order The japanese version of Kiss and Tell is essential , those two bonus tracks make the album! Their later stuff has its charm and I'm still a fan but I like the spunky stuff

The last thing Van Halen was, was heavy metal. That aside, Roth is a VERY intelligent guy.. Don't be fooled by the clown act..

Dave's voice was perfect for this..

Awesome collection Steve! I think Some Kind Of Wonderful is my favorite of the Hughes soundtracks. But it changes all the time. I have that Hughes Mixtape box set in my Birthday wishlist as we speak😅 I really want it because I'm crazy and also for the Ferris Bueller stuff that we have never got "officially". I think I will do a reply to this and give you full credit as always.

For such a "kid" she had an amazing amount of patience with Letterman.

Narrator: He was created out of violence and horror. He exists only to destroy the evil around him. He can't be reasoned with or bargained with. He can't be stopped. So if you've been bad, look out! He's your worst nightmare come true! "The Toxic Avenger". If you've been bad, he'll get you good. Rated R. Under 17 not admitted without parent.

Ferris Bueller does in fact have an official CD soundtrack release. It is from La La Land Records. Limited to 5000 units. Released in 2016.

They sell meatloaf burgers now. 😢

Now they sell meatloaf burgers. 😂👎

Greetings, Steve. I have "el zippo" of the John Hughes soundtracks...but if you check out my cd collection on Discogs, you'll see I probably have 50% of the songs on various discs. I do have all his films on disc, my favorite being "Sixteen Candles," though "The Breakfast Club" was the most memorable in my life. Hughes brought that film to USC for a preview screening, with Q&A, when I was a cinema grad student. At the end of evening, Hughes was engulfed by a couple hundred undergrads, all telling him that he was "the only one who understands them." Hughes was trapped, my friend, the lead TA, looked at me and mouthed the word "Help." Since I was built like a middle linebacker back then and most of the cinema students knew me from their "Intro. to Cinema" class, I pushed my way though, grabbed Hughes' arm and announced in my deepest baritone voice "Clear the way, Mr. Hughes needs to leave now." Charlton Heston would have been proud of my parting of the coed sea. I got him out of the theater, the studio publicists came running up to him and I went back into the theater to get my then-girlfriend and go home. Needless to say, the water cooler chat on Friday was abuzz with "Did you hear what Karl did last night?"

I have The John Hughes boxset "Life Moves Pretty Fast", which has 6 records set up like mix tapes (as opposed to individual soundtracks). Its one of my favorites in my collection!

Good thing I was not born yet in NJ while this was a thing.

First time seeing this and I like it

I recently got the Blondie box set. Still working on it. Great stuff

I use to have 100s of soundtracks on CD. I just talked about this subject on my Sunday podcast. Pretty in Pink was the one of all of those I would bring back into my collection. Hughes did make get use of the Brat Pack

Joan is a cover artist who wrote a couple songs.

I can't believe this was your first episode. It was real smooth and the post production was fantastic, like you've been doing it for years. I'm sure it helps that you're in the film business. Still looking for Agent Orange on the cheap, not easy. I'm curious, did you shoot this video in Wayne's World's basement?

Pretty in pink is my favorite from that bunch nice little collection

The Pretty in Pink soundtrack is fire! The extended mix of Brilliant Mind is on of my favourite tracks from the 80s. Hughes did have a knack for choosing good tracks 🙂

Very cool video - totally original - I remember seeing those movies...in the movies. Never had any of the soundtracks though. Thanks for showing them - really cool.

I own 5 movies that John Hughes directed (Sixteen Candles, Weird Science, Ferris Bueller, The Breakfast Club and Planes, Trains and Automobiles. I also own 4 that he wrote, like the first 3 Vacation movies and Home Alone. Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club are probably two of the best soundtracks from what he’s worked on, but most of these have at least a theme song that’s memorable, like Holiday Road from Lindsey Buckingham from Vacation.

That's the Letterman show that I remember and loved! Not the lame boring show it had sadly become near the end in 2015...

I also have Sixteen Candles. Planes Trains and Automobiles and Weird Science on vinyl, The Great Outdoors on CD, and Career Opportunities, which is a great soundtrack. I love Some Kind of Wonderful. At the time, I had a crush on Mary Stuart Masterson's character. Dutch has a great unreleased soundtrack, and the box set is worth picking up. And yeah, the vinyl for She's Having a Baby had HE and SHE as side A and B. I also have the Ferris Bueller's Day Off soundtrack that was released by La-La-Land. I dunno, I love all those movies, some more than others, but still. He also had a pretty good soundtrack for Reach the Rock, his most obscure film. The music was from bands on his son's Hefty Records label. Post-Rock bands like Tortoise, The Sea and The Cake and Polvo.

Bryan Ferry was the person who they originally asked to do Don't You Forget About Me

I've seen all the John Hughes films except Some Kind Of Wonderful. The Breakfast Club is my favorite of his but the soundtrack of Pretty In Pink is definitely the best. If my memory is correct, Molly Ringwald played John Hughes Pretty In Pink for him and said that he should use that song in the film. She was a huge Psychedelic Furs fan I believe.

Hi Steve - Ferris had a cool Cabaret Voltaire poster for Microphonies but their music wasn't played in the film. Agree that Pretty In Pink is the best soundtrack & it attracted many to the excellent Psychedelic Furs Talk Talk Talk album. Simpleminds best albums were before The Breakfast Club. Sons & Fascination & New Gold Dream my favorites.

another awesome video

Before flute playing Lizzo, we had guitar playing Lezzo.

I remember high school age kids wearing Spuds McKenzie t-shirts. These commercials were aimed at younger people.

I like Dave's raspy voice. I thought he was black when I was a kid before I saw him on tv.
