And still they keep a-comin'...
2. Tin Man - America - 3, trademark mellow song, okay-ish, not as good as their first flush of stuff...
3. Hooked On A Feeling - Blue Swede - 3, "ooga-chukka" to you! And you can blame Jonathan King for that! Not a patch on the B J Thomas version, tho'...
6. Don't Cry - Asia - 4, good solid stuff from the supergroup who remained total unknowns here...
7. All My Love - Led Zeppelin - 3, prowling and plodding as only Zep could get away with - not their strongest...
8. Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald - Gordon Lightfoot - 5 - stirring, mysterious-sounding stuff from Gordie...one of his finest...
9. Abacab - Genesis - 3, in an okay kind of way - never really appealed that much to me, but drives along well...
10. I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me) - Whitney Houston - 1, sorry Whitney - I was born with two left feet! Never appealed when it first came out...
11. Paint It Black - Rolling Stones - 4, Brian discovers the sitar...dark, brooding, galloping piece of work - among their best...
12. Easy - Commodores - 4, tad overheard these days but I can still comfortably live with it...
13. Straight Up - Paula Abdul - 3, hm..difficult one - a bit sterile-sounding this day and age...
14. All 4 Love - Color Me Badd - 1 - yeuch!
15. Get Closer - Seals & Crofts - 3, pleasant-enough stuff from the duo, not as immediate as "Summer Breeze"
16. Rosanna - Toto - 3, excellent group, but I found this song to be a trifle on the annoying side after one too many listens...
17. You Should Be Dancing - Bee Gees - 4, once again, a bit on the overplayed side, but I can still wobble a leg to it...
18. Forever Live And Die - OMD - 2, not one of their best - I much prefer their earlier stuff...
19. Hey Jealousy - Gin Blossoms - 2, not much that grabs my attention here...
20. The Gambler - Kenny Rogers - I'll go with lebiew here and assume it is Mr Rogers - 3, the old hokum story-song that Kenny did so well - spawned a couple of films off the success of it...
21. Fernando - Abba - 3, bearable, but can get a bit heavy going after a while...
22. Low Rider - War - 3, I love some of War's stuff, but not too fond of this - probably due to blanket coverage when used as a theme to a Marmite commercial (of all things!)
23. Different Drum - Stone Poneys ft Linda Ronstadt - 4, haven't heard this in ages! - Linda proving she had the voice for an outstanding career, and Monkee Mike Nesmith proving he could write a great tune...
24. Kayleigh - Marillion - 4, Early Genesis-wannabees who promised an awful lot, but only really came up trumps with this...played to death all throughout the long, wet summer of 1985 - and still memorable...
The rest I'll balk on - but some nice stuff there, CF!

I listened to a clip of it just now, and realized I have heard it before. I really don't know it well enough to rate it but I'll give it a 3.5.

How could you even suggest such a thing?! :o Horrors! This song is a classic that should be left alone (much like other great tunes that get sampled)!
