I, personally, think Sugarcreek was more deserving. Limited Warranty seems too much like every other band of the time. Sugarcreek had great stage presence, nice vocals, and a good look.
Not to mention the guys from Sugarcreek actually danced and "felt" the music instead of jumping up and down over and over and over and over....
not sure, I just remember telling them after they performed Huey Lewis heart and soul that if they had done that they would have won. Cool dance moves!!!!
Well, from what I've seen, I think the Bands were required to do original music. To be honest I think what hindered Sugar Creek was the judges not knowing what genre' that the band fit in. There name is too country, the dance moves to rock, the outfits seemed more modern country for the time, and the song kinda fell thru everything. Tho to be fair, Limited Warranty's outfits were abit Devo-ish, while the hair-dos were DuranDuran.
Hmmm, was it just lost in the semi-finals on SS or had just lost a round? I know you had to win so many rounds in a row before you quailify for the semi finals... 3 I think. So it must be Fall/Winter '84 that everything was taped. Like Miss America.. crowd afew months before the actual year of her reign. lol

I graduated in 84 and saw Sugarcreek at the Magic attic in Myrtle Beach. I thought they had just lost starsearch, but wasn't sure.

What year was this?
loveteachin 3 years ago
Late '84 or early '85. I'm thinking they started taping the '85 season show in
Fall '84? If I'm wrong someone please let me know.
