  1. 40 years ago this week, "Silent Running (On Dangerous Ground)" by #MikeAndTheMechanics entered the #Top10 at 8. It peaked at 6 on 08 Mar 1986. The song is named after the Bruce Dern science fiction film, because the song "had a spacey feel." youtube.com/watch?v=i17mgRK3GX8 #1980s #MusicHistory #MusicVideo

  2. Playout video is Mike + the Mechanics with "The living years", another video we're seeing as a partwork. It's not going to be number one, trailing 84k-54k and both are falling.

    Our second Mystery Year - same as it was last week - was 1989.

  4. Apparently today is 40 years since Mike + The Mechanics’ debut single “Silent Running” entered the Billboard Hot 100.

    I was only 6 at the time, and I discovered them a few years later. Their tapes were among the first I bought as a kid - and I still have them!

    I don't think there's a single other band that I loved back then as much I do now.
