Welcome To The Machine - Pink Floyd 3
A weak-ish song compared to the rest of the LP...bearable enough...

Shooting Star - Bad Company 4
Admittedly, a song I knew nothing about until young Karen pointed out its merits to me! A fine effort...

Watermelon Man - Herbie Hancock
Not sure if I've heard this, but I adore Mongo Santamaria's version...

Right Down The Line - Gerry Rafferty 5
Superb song from a top-drawer songwriter...great...

Paper Sun - Traffic 4
Catchy 'pop-psych' from the band...

Crazy - Aerosmith 3
Good effort, but they've done much better...

Get Out Of My Dreams ( Get Into My Car) - Billy Ocean 1
A typical example of how something hasn't aged at all well...

Up Where We Belong - Joe Cocker & Jennifer Warnes 3
Low-ish mark probably due to constant overplay...well performed, though...

Praise You - Fatboy Slim 1
If there's anyone I'd like to help under a bus, it's Norman...! Horrible racket...

Little Red Corvette - Prince 2
...and this bloke can join him!

Only The Lonely - Roy Orbison 4
...and this bloke...er, no hold on! One of the highlights from the early 60's...

Chantilly Lace - Big Bopper 4
Completely dopey piece of fluff, and I wouldn't have it any other way...!

Chapel Of Love - Dixie Cups 3
Ultra-corny (and almost dangerously twee) 'girl group' effort...

Blinded By The Light - Manfred Mann's Earth Band 4
Fine Bruce cover from the 60's refugees (well, some of 'em!)

Could potentially be a bit of a hard find, Paul, but I suggest you check out the cover version by Golden Smog.

Edit: Unless you know it already, of course. >embarrased face<
