1. Waiting For A Girl Like You - Foreigner 4, subtle change of pace, and delightful for all that...
2. The One That You Love - Air Supply 3, did a lot better, but not bad...
3. Hard To Say - Dan Fogelberg 4, another beautiful mellow number, should've been big here...
4. I've Done Everything For You - Rick Springfield 3, not one of his better ones, okay tho'...
5. Sweetheart - Franke & The Knockouts ?
6. Don't Stand So Close To Me - Police 4, excellent effort...shame they spoiled its reputation with that 1986 re-hash...
7. The Winner Takes It All - ABBA 5, one of their finest...superb vocal from Agnetha (blonde one, to you!)
8. For Your Eyes Only - Sheena Easton 3, well-performed, but not one of the more memorable Bond numbers...
9. Angel Of The Morning - Juice Newton 4, one of the most recorded songs of all time? Merrillee Rush's version is still my favourite, but Juice did this very well...as for Shaggy (spit!)
10. While You See A Chance - Steve Winwood 4, classy work, good radio number...
11. Young Turks - Rod Stewart 3, bolts along at a frightening pace, I always thought it was being played at the wrong speed! Okay-ish, but he's done much better...
12. Being With You - Smokey Robinson 4, lovely song...
13. Endless Love - Diana Ross & Lionel Richie 4, ...as was this...(if a bit over-slushy)...
14. Private Eyes - Hall & Oates 4, belter of a tune which (truth be told) hasn't really aged that well, but which is okay with me...
15. Beatles Medley - Stars On 45 3, Hm...jury's still out on this one! Passable at a pinch, and probably the best of a bad bunch (we had thousands of 'em that year!) - confusingly, Stars On 45 was the title of the record here...
16. Woman - John Lennon 4, a much better example of what he could still produce than 'Starting Over'...(sorry Karen!)
17. Sukiyaki - A Taste Of Honey ?, know the song, but haven't got round to this version yet...
18. Just The Two Of Us - Grover Washington, Jr. with Bill Withers 4, nice gentle number...not much of a hit here, but still played on a lot of stations...
19. Love On The Rocks - Neil Diamond 4, more fine work from Neil...not sure if I ever saw this version of the film - any good?
20. Stop Draggin' My Heart Around - Tom Petty with Stevie Nicks 4, fine prowling number...
21. I Love A Rainy Night - Eddie Rabbitt 3, fairly okay slice of country-rock...nothing too outstanding, tho'...
22. A Woman Needs Love (Just Like You Do) - Ray Parker, Jr. ?
23. Living Inside Myself - Gino Vannelli ?
24. How 'Bout Us - Champaign 4, superb slowie, much played down our 'youth club' when 'girlies' started appearing on the scene!
25. Too Much Time On My Hands - Styx 4, trademark fine effort...group went a bit funny hereon...
Cool mix, Karen...remembered more than I thought I would!

I was actually thinking that I might only go up to about 1986 or 1987. Lebeiw15's already covered 1984, so I'll be able to skip that one...
