1. Barely Breathing - Duncan Sheik----2.75 When it first came out I couldn't stand this song, but a few years ago when I was driving to school, I stopped at a traffic light intersection in the middle lane with several cars in front of me. I didn't go into the far left lane because the school was only a block away. Anyway, this tune was playing as I was driving up to that intersection, and shortly after I stopped, I heard honking. I looked to my right, and this elderly man (I guess he was in his 60s) was shouting at me with a red face. I think he wanted me to be in the left lane, but he had his window rolled up (duh :-/). Looking back, it was quite amusing, and now I don't real mind this tune because it's a connotation of that incident for me.
3. Cecilia - Simon & Garfunkel-----3. Definitely not one of their best.
6. Listen To The Music - Doobie Brothers----2.5
7. Vision Of Love - Mariah Carey----3.5 Her earlier stuff was better.
8. Downtown - Petula Clark----3.5 Cute!
9. You Got It - Roy Orbison-----3
11. I Get Weak - Belinda Carlisle----3.5
12. Little Lies - Fleetwood Mac-----3.5 (good vocals)
15. Life Is A Highway - Tom Cochrane----3.25

Yes, and that's why I gave it a 3.5 instead of like a 2. something, which I would give for her later hits.

Oh, okay. It was a bit confusing when you had said that "her earlier stuff was better", yet you gave her earliest song a 3.5. I now understand what you were trying to say. :)

I understand, Rice. I wasn't saying I like it, I was just trying to understand how Bloo's comment tied in with her rating. ;)

1. Barely Breathing - Ducan Sheik ?
2. Do What You Do - Jermaine Jackson 3
Pleasant enough, if a bit bland...
3. Cecilia - Simon & Garfunkel 4
The boys almost threaten to 'rock out' (gasp!)...fine song...
4. Jack & Jill - Raydio 4
Catchy 'soft-soul'...still much-heard on radio...
5. Fanny (Be Tender With My Love) - Bee Gees 3
Not their best - especially from this golden period...but okay all the same...
6. Listen To The Music - Doobie Brothers 4
Class song from a much-maligned outfit...superb...
7. Vision Of Love - Mariah Carey 1
Whitney-clone singing Whitney-clone song...instantly forgettable...
8. Downtown - Petula Clark 5
Whether she likes it or not, this is (and will always be) her theme tune...fantastic arrangement too...sadly, has been subjected to several ham-fisted remixes, which should be avoided...
9. You Got It - Roy Orbison 3
Adored this at the time, but seems to grate a bit now...
10. Radioactive - The Firm ?
11. I Get Weak - Belinda Carlisle 3
I can take or leave Belinda's solo stuff, but this wasn't too bad...
12. Little Lies - Fleetwood Mac 4
Fine song which suited them well...mostly downhill from here, sadly...
13. New Song (Don't Crack Up) - Howard Jones 4
Ultra-catchy synth-pop...holds a special place in my memory as it was one of the records I bought with my first wage packet! (October 1983...)
14. Beth - KISS 3
Okay for all that, but I much prefer the rockers...
15. Life Is A Highway - Tom Cochrane 4
Cool song...must admit, I've never driven to it though...!
