Lovely people? Who's Karen referring to...?!!
1. Serpentine Fire - EW&F 4 - from what I remember - haven't heard it in ages, so I'll have to get home and re-acquaint myself...
2. Time - Alan Parsons Project didn't rate this last time because I wasn't aware that I had it! I'll have to re-acquaint myself with this one as well...!
3. Hungry Eyes - Eric Carmen 3
4. New Year's Day - U2 3 - about the only bearable U2 song - along with "Pride" - to these ears...
6. Hello I Love You - Doors 3 - not their strongest
7. Sad Eyes - Robert John 2 - a bit sickly...
8. Lonely Ol' Night - JCM 3 - once again, not his strongest...
9. Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard - Paul Simon 3 - adore a lot of his stuff, but this doesn't really cut it...
10. Everybody Have Fun Tonight - Wang Chung 2 - ok the first couple of listens, but then grates a bit - beware the video!
11. Chariots Of Fire - Vangelis 4 - sheer overblown pomposity, but it seems to work...
12. You Make Me Feel - Sylvester 3 - 100mph hi-NRG tune (probably one of the first) - ok-ish...
13. Five O'Clock World - Vogues 5 - excellent stuff! They went a bit MOR later in their career, which was a shame...
14. Urgent - Foreigner 4 - one of their better efforts...
15. Jive Talkin' - Bee Gees 4 - clumsily dismissed by some as typical "disco" - it's actually more complex than you think...!
16. Fly Away - Lenny Kravitz 2 - bit of a racket, truth be told...
17. Without You - Nilsson ...just like this one! - 4
19. Right Down The Line - Gerry Rafferty 5 - yes, have to agree with you on this CF! The whole "City To City" LP is great...
20. Peg - Steely Dan 4 - nice...
Nice list CF - one or two I'll have to sit and listen to again...

That's true! I've known people who've thought it was a disco tune. I heard the story about how they came up with the beginning of the song...when they used to drive over a bridge down in Florida (I believe it was on the way to their recording studio) and they'd hear the clickety-clack sound. ;D

4. New Year's Day - U2 4
5. Something To Talk About - Bonnie Raitt 4--one of the few country songs I can stand.
6. Hello, I Love You - The Doors 4
8. Lonely Ol' Night - John Cougar Mellencamp 5
9. Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard - Paul Simon 5
10. Everybody Have Fun Tonight - Wang Chung 4
