Hey, Karen's back on the square...
...and look, she's brought some records with her...!
1. Never Surrender - Corey Hart 3
3. The Groove Line - Heatwave 4 - still enjoyable...
4. New Song - Howard Jones 4 - bought this with my first pay packet - bless...
6. Get Together - Youngbloods 4 - good song, bit overlong (presumably, or I may have the LP version!) Stiffed here, but The Dave Clark Five (yes, them!) hit with it...
7. Life's Been Good - Joe Walsh 5 - do like that!
8. The Devil Went Down To Georgia - Charlie Daniels Band 4 - still prefer "Uneasy Rider"...
9. Blue Jean - David Bowie 2 - not one of his best...
10. Unbelieveable - EMF 3 - bit of a noisy racket...
11. My Ding-A-Ling - Chuck Berry 1 - you either love it or hate it - 'fraid I don't...
12. Mrs Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter - Herman's Hermits 4 - for sheer kitsch value - never released as a single here...
13. Ramblin' Man - Allman Brothers Band 4 - good driving music...
14. Every Time I Think Of You - Babys 4 - should've been much bigger here...
16. I Just Wanna Stop - Gino Vannelli 3 - a bit too slick...
17. Cruel To Be Kind - Nick Lowe 4 - old pub-rockers never die, they just keep recording good songs...
18. Carry On Wayward Son- Kansas 5 - classic...which we all ignored here...
19. Freeze-Frame - J. Geils Band 3 - not as immediate as "Centerfold"...
20. Rock Me Amadeus - Falco 3 - bit dated now...
22. A Girl Like You - Edwyn Collins 3 - only because it was played to death...
23. After The Love Has Gone - EW&F 4 - a bit drippy after one too many listens, but still good...
24. Eighteen - Alice Cooper 4 - one of the earlier ones, still holds up well...
25. 99 Luftballons - Nena 2 - was never struck with this...(we had to have the thing translated, we're funny like that!)
Nice, nice, nice...
