Another broad sweep, CF...here we go then...
2. Escape (The Pina Colada Song) - Rupert Holmes 4 - nice mellow number with good storyline...'Him' was excellent, too...
3. How Can I Be Sure - Young Rascals 4 - fabulous! I also rate David Cassidy's version from a few years later, so there!
4. No More Lonely Nights - Paul McCartney 3 - (if we're talking about the ballad version) okay, better than a lot of his stuff from this time, but the uptempo version was awful!
5. I Can Dream About You - Dan Hartman 4 - good song which suited the time...another who died way too young...
7. Right Time Of The Night - Jennifer Warnes 3 - not a bad song, but doesn't grab me totally...
8. Jealous Guy - John Lennon 3 - song's good, but this performance sounds a bit flat...Roxy's 'tribute' cover was better...
9. Reach Out I'll Be There - Four Tops 5 - heh! One of their finest - rescued from LP obscurity right at the last minute by Berry...
10. Sugar Baby Love - Rubettes 3 - another one of those songs which has been compiled to death...good sort of 50's pastiche, but they did better...
11. Making Love Out Of Nothing At All - Air Supply 3 - your fairly typical Steinman song with loads of words and bombastic chorus...likeable, but not essential...
12. Crazy - Seal 3 - good voice, good song, but suffered from overplay...
13. All That She Wants - Ace Of Base 2 - somewhat out of my limits, but do remember it...fairly ho-hum...
14. Miss Me Blind - Culture Club 2 - dated stuff (listen to that drum programming!), and fumbles around for a tune somewhat...never released as a single here...
15. I Can't Tell You Why - Eagles 5 - dark and brooding...easily my favourite by them...
16. Annie's Song - John Denver 3 - nice enough - almost cloying, but not quite...amazingly, his only solo success here...
19. Oh Very Young - Cat Stevens 3 - not his best, but a very clever and complex song...
20. America - Neil Diamond 4 - a good one! Marvellous bit of orchestration too...
21. The Way It Is - Bruce Hornsby & The Range 4 - well remembered by many if only for that piano break...
23. Return To Innocence - Enigma 2 - starts off okay but, oh dear...it's when that hackneyed drum sample kicks in...
24. Little Red Corvette - Prince 1 - never liked this at all for some reason...
25. Louie Louie - Kingsmen 5 - attacked by many, but this remains lo-fi-ishly definitive...
