Well, considering they are off the top of your head, lebeiw - a fair selection, I'd say...

1. Wrapped Around Your Finger - Police 4
2. Steppin' Out - Joe Jackson 4
3. Reminiscing - Little River Band 4
6. Glory Days - Bruce Springsteen Bruce on autopilot, I'm afraid! 2
7. Sharp Dressed Man - ZZ Top 3 - chugs along nicely
8. Angel Of The Morning - Merrilee Rush 2 - the song's rather weak regardless who attacks it...
9. More More More - Andrea True Connection 4 - corny as hell, but enjoyable...I won't go into her films!
11. Break My Stride - Matthew Wilder 4 - ...as was this. I don't think he done any films tho'...!
12. Sloop John B - Beach Boys 5 - simply for doing incredible things to the old spiritual...sounded completely out of place on the 'Pet Sounds' album...
14. Ballroom Blitz - Sweet 4 - ever-so-slightly over the top...! Good stuff...
17. Born To Be Alive - Patrick Hernandez 4 - good, solid chugger...a pre-fame Madonna used to be one of his backing singers
18. 867-5309/Jenny - Tommy Tutone 4 - criminally ignored here - love it!
19. Working My Way Back To You/Forgive Me Girl - Spinners 4 - good, inventive reworking of the Four Seasons classic - known as Detroit Spinners over here due to a age-old Scouse folk group taking the Spinners name years before...as if we'd get 'em mixed up...!
22. Rock With You - Michael Jackson 3 - album's not bad as a whole, but this is one of the weaker tracks...
23. I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing - Aerosmith 3 - bit ho-hum...they've done better...
25. Sundown - Gordon Lightfoot 5 - need I say more??!!
26. It's Too Late - Carole King 4 - great song, great album...
27. Only The Good Die Young - Billy Joel 3 - ditto the comments about Aerosmith...
28. Cat's In The Cradle - Harry Chapin 5 - excellent stuff...tragically died way too young...has become a modern-day standard...
29. Need You Tonight - INXS 4 - actually sounds quite good considering its age...
30. Livin' La Vida Loca - Ricky Martin 2 - noisy racket...don't tell anyone, but I did sort-of nod my head to this at a New Years' party a few years back...I blame the drink...!

All the rest I'll leave to you youngsters...!

Funny; I think it's their absolute worst (and they do have several songs that I will listen to).


Quoting:
22. Rock With You - Michael Jackson 3 - album's not bad as a whole, but this is one of the weaker tracks...
End Quote



You are a bad person.
