Saturday, by the time I got around to replying, but there you go...
1. In Your Letter - REO Speedwagon 3
Inoffensive jog-along number, but totally eclipsed by the majestic 'Keep On Loving You' & 'Take It On The Run'...
2. Forever - Kenny Loggins ?
3. If I Can't Have You - Yvonne Elliman 4
A staple of the 'Disco years', and none the worse for that...
4. A Rock 'N' Roll Fantasy - The Kinks ?
Apart from the obligatory 'Come Dancing', the later period stuff is alien to me...
5. Islands In The Stream - Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton 4
Didn't care much for this on release, but has grown in appeal over the years...the 'soft rap' version ('Ghetto Superstar') should've been strangled at birth!
6. Time - Alan Parsons Project 3
Not terrible, but a bit too languid...
7. Macho Man - Village People 3
Okay in a way, but can't hope to compete with the later 'crowd-pleasers'...(you know what they are!)
8. Rush, Rush - Paula Abdul 2
Not my thing really...inoffensive enough tho'...
9. Wishing You Were Here - Chicago 3
In agreement with lebiew here, not their strongest by a long way despite the Beach Boys' involvement...
10. Margaritaville - Jimmy Buffett 4
Very clever song by very talented man...super...
11. Young Lust - Pink Floyd 3
Works well within the album, but loses 'something' on its own...
12. The One Thing - INXS ?
13. Indian Reservation (Lament Of The Cherokee Reservation Indian) - Paul Revere & The Raiders 3
Commendable lyrical content, but everything else is ho-hum...group did some wonderful stuff in the mid-60's...
14. All The Young Dudes - Mott The Hoople 4
Superb 'last gasp' effort before they were going to call it a day...talk about lucky! Not only did David Bowie write it and produce it, but that's him on the backing vocals too...!
15. Sunny - Bobby Hebb 4
Lovely mellow pop/RnB cross...for years I thought this was written as a tribute to JFK, but it's actually about Bobby's brother! Boney M did a half-baked 'disco' version some years later (best avoided!)
