thats right! I was just reading through the songs, and I saw this one, and I specifically remembered reading the inside cover of my "Moster BAllads" CD where it had all the copyrights next to the songs, and the last track, "When Im with you"-Sherriff, copyright 1982...upon looking it up for a link, I realized they were off a year...but it still was a good observation on my part...

Subject: Re: Rate the songs - 1989
I must admit, my interest in current music had begun to wane by 1989. This was due mainly to the fact that many songs were starting to sound the same, and radio was also starting to become a bit conservative (although not quite as bad as today!), resulting in many of the top hits getting burnt out through excessive airplay. But nevertheless, still some good stuff here & there...
50. My Heart Can't Tell You No - Rod Stewart 2
49. Hangin' Tough - New Kids on the Block 4 (cheesy, but one of their better hits)
48. Eternal Flame - Bangles 4
47. Batdance - Prince 1 (w/o a doubt, one of his worst, and of the entire decade, for that matter)
46. The Lover in Me - Sheena Easton 3
45. Armageddon It - Def Leppard 3
44. So Alive - Love and Rockets 3
43. Once Bitten Twice Shy - Great White 2 (not among their best)
42. Buffalo Stance - Neneh Cherry 2
41. With Every Beat of My Heart - Taylor Dayne 3
40. When I See You Smile - Bad English 4 (definitely one of the better "power ballads" ever recorded)
39. Rock On - Michael Damien 4 (somehow, his version works)
38. When I'm With You - Sheriff 4 (I generally associate this song w/ 1983 - the year it was originally a hit - since that's when I first heard it, and subsequently bought the album at that time)
37. Good Thing - Fine Young Cannibals 2
36. Listen to Your Heart - Roxette 4
35. Every Little Step - Bobby Brown 4
34. If You Don't Know Me By Now - Simply Red 3
33. The Look - Roxette 4
32. Born to Be My Baby - Bon Jovi 3
31. If I Could Turn Back Time - Cher 2
30. (It's Just) The Way That You Love Me - Paula Abdul 2
29. Don't Rush Me - Taylor Dayne 4
28. Don't Wanna Lose You Now - Gloria Estefan 2
27. On Our Own - Bobby Brown 3
26. Heaven - Warrant 4 (also one of the better "power ballads")
25. Like a Prayer - Madonna 2
24. Toy Soldiers - Martika 3
23. Girl I'm Gonna Miss You - Milli Vanilli 2 (they were better when it came to uptempo dance tunes)
22. Two Hearts - Phil Collins 2
21. The Living Years - Mike + the Mechanics 3
20. Baby Don't Forget My Number - Milli Vanilli 4
19. I'll Be Loving You (Forever)- New Kids on the Block 3
18. She Drives Me Crazy - Fine Young Cannibals 2
17. I'll Be There for You - Bon Jovi 2
16. Love Shack - The B-52's 2
15. Cold Hearted - Paula Abdul 5 (her best hit)
14. Girl You Know It's True - Milli Vanilli 4
13. Forever Your Girl - Paula Abdul 3
12. Right Here Waiting - Richard Marx 4
11. Don't Know Much - Linda Ronstadt f/ Aaron Neville 2 (two great singers, to be sure, but somehow this one just never appealed to me)
10. Bust a Move - Young M.C. 4 (sadly, very little rap music was/is up to this level)
9. Wind Beneath My Wings - Bette Midler 2
8. Lost In Your Eyes - Debbie Gibson 3
7. Straight Up - Paula Abdul 4
6. My Prerogative - Bobby Brown 5 (love him or hate him, one of the best dance songs of the entire decade)
5. Blame It On the Rain - Milli Vanilli 3
4. We Didn't Start the Fire - Billy Joel 4
3. Back to Life - Soul II Soul (f/ Caron Wheeler) 3
2. Miss You Much - Janet Jackson 4
1. Another Day In Paradise - Phil Collins 4
