I love Toy Soldiers by Martika, Once in a lifetime by Talking Heads, Jessie's Girl by Rick Springfield and All night long by Lionel Richie.

I don't mind Pop Music by M, My Sharona by The Knack, It's all coming back to me by Celine Dion (a cover of the 1989 minor hit for Pandora's box) and I feel for you by Chaka Khan.

I can't stand Loving you by Minnie Ripperton, The Streak by Ray Stevens and Scarborough Fair by Simon and Garfunkle.

2. Voices Carry - 'Til Tuesday  U/K
3. You Should Hear How She Talks About You - Melissa Manchester  3.5 - her best effort

7. Time Passages - Al Stewart  3.5
8. Overkill - Men At Work  3 - not their best effort
9. Rio - Duran Duran  3 - also not their best
10. Pop Muzik - M  4 - but I suspect if he had realeased a follow up it would have bombed !
11. All Night Long (All Night) - Lionel Richie  1 - groan - sorry Karen - you already knew what I would score here hey ?  He puts me to sleep I'm afriad... :(
12. Everybody's Talkin' - Nilsson  5 - great song
13. If - Bread  4 - good parody material there (oh it's been done hey ?)  8)
14. Last Dance - Donna Summer  U/K
15. Rock Of Ages - Def Leppard  U/K
16. It's A Heartache - Bonnie Tyler  1 - I only like "Lost In France", before her voice turned to crap... :(

Okay, a quick-ish run thru'...

1. Scarborough Fair - S&G - 5, adventures in harmonics - love it!
2. Voices Carry - 'Til Tuesday - 4, good song which inexplicably stiffed over here...
3. You Should Hear...- Melissa Manchester - 4, ditto...(although this did chart, in a minor way)
4. My Sharona - Knack - 4, good, fun song!
5. That's What Friends Are For - Dionne & Friends - 1, oh dear - good sentiments, lousy song..
6. Jessie's Girl - Rick Springfield - 4, good driving rock (sort of!) - Rick was about as popular as the plague here...
7. Time Passages - Al Stewart - 5, always liked Al's stuff...
8. Overkill - Men At Work - 4, I do actually rate this...good song
9. Rio - Duran Duran - 4, if you were to destroy every Duran record and video in existance bar this, you'd still know what they were all about...
10. Pop Musik - M - 5, once again, good fun song...yes Fuss he (Robin Scott) did make follow-ups that all stiffed! A couple of members of the band that came to be known as Level 42 are on here too...
11. All Night Long - Lionel Richie - 3, always catapults me back to Xmas 83, huge at the time - tad overplayed now tho'
12. Everybody's Talkin' - Nilsson - 4, good song which our very own Beautiful South murdered a few years back...
13. If - Bread - 4, lovely stuff! Also murdered by Telly Savalas! Which unbeleivably climed to the top of our chart!
14. Last Dance - Donna Summer - 2, not one of her best (from Thank God It's Friday - a film that's rarely seen these days!)
15. Rock Of Ages - Def Leppard - 3, not bad - before they became hyper-commercial...
16. It's A Heartache - Bonnie Tyler - 3, okay-ish...actually got her raspy voice from a bad throat infection a few years prior to this recording...also known as "It's A Hard Egg" in some circles...!
17. Toy Soldiers - Martika - 1, sorry...never liked this...
18. It's All Coming Back To Me Now - Celine Dion - 1, ...or this...
19. The Streak - Ray Stevens - 2, probably loved it at the time (I was only 7 - give me a break!)
20. Lovin' You - Minnie Riperton - 2, if there's ever a song that polarizes opinion (even mine!), it's got to be this...which isn't actually fair as she had a terrific voice - go check out some of the stuff she did with Rotary Connection before going solo...died tragically young...
21. Pink Houses - John Cougar Mellencamp - 3, preferred others to this...okay, tho'...
22. Give A Little Bit - Supertamp - 4, yes, another good 'un...was last heard being used in a charity telethon programme over here - "Give A Little Bit" (of cash) - geddit?
23. Once In A Lifetime - Talking Heads - 4, reminds me of school (in which case I should give it 1!), but attention-grabbing, nonetheless...
24. I Feel For You - Chaka Khan - 2, hmm..not really my thing, once again, like Minnie Riperton, did better work earlier in her career...
25. Missing You - John Waite - 3, heard a bit too much for my liking, bearable tho'...
