I believe some Communist-era Russian fillings were done with stainless steel.  So, a discount mail-order bride date?

I'm Saul Rosenbear and I approve this Kinks reference.

They should have named it Bubbles.

Actually, it's probably his keyboard playing for Hatfield and the North.

The dB's: the New Wave-era missing link between Big Star and R.E.M.  They couldn't even get their first two albums released in the US, despite releasing top-notch singles in the U.S.

Beulah should have been huge.  Only band where I was humming one of their songs and a friend remembered it from 6 years earlier.

Squeeze was really big in the UK.  They're stuff has aged pretty well too.

They did move to the UK and have success there in the 70s, which is something.

The Maxx.

Possibly because neither book was written in English, as at my school they would have been covered in a Literature in Translation course.

I love Hugh Hopper, but the guy was mostly fuzz-tone. 

Pretty sure Johnny Canuck is right, as Burrell explains it to Nerese Campbell when he gives her the folder on Daniels.

Dead puppies can't photograph themselves
Dead puppies can't fetch things off the shelves
Well, we didn't want you anyway
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la ,la, la, la

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang?

I like the title, as it brings a strange parallel between the Doctor and Hitler.  You can't kill Hitler in 1938, much like you can't kill Smith's Doctor at this point in time, given the fixed date of his death.  Plus, it ties in with the idea that the Doctor's name has become to mean evil, etc. which was raised…

IIRC, there's some terrible pap on the first two Styx albums, which are just awful.

Peter Cetera?  He was always in Chicago.

Good Lord, I've never even ventured into the depths of Starcastle ownership and for a while I bought almost anything.
