Nnnnggh...song..rating...nnngh..must...keep away...!

Oh, what the hell...where are we? '84...right...

Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun 4 - happy, bouncy number...its only drawback being the extremely suspect movie that it 'inspired'...
Madonna - Holiday 3 - for overplayment...(it's also been re-issued here about half-a-dozen times!)...Madge's first big one (oo-er!) in the days when she played second fiddle to Cyndi in terms of popularity...
Police - King Of Pain 3 - not one of their stronger ones...sort of went out with a whimper rather than a bang...
Nik Kershaw - Wouldn't It Be Good 4 - 'man with the snood' wrote and performed some catchy stuff, this being one of 'em...
Nena - 99 Red Balloons 3 - bit of a clumsy effort by the 'girl with the pit hair', probably due to a suspect translation...US had the original German lyrics...
Rockwell - Somebody's Watching Me 3 - Berry Gordy's son couldn't really fail by getting some bloke called Michael Jackson to sing on this...trouble was, it was very ho-hum...
Van Halen - Jump 4 - good ol' rawker...the first big (UK) hit for the band when they featured big-haired Dave Lee Roth...
Bananarama - Robert De Niro's Waiting 3 - rather strange subject material for a song...was about the best they done...
Depeche Mode - People Are People 2 - Dep's ode to tolerance...but, oh dear...what clumsy lyrics...
Chaka Khan - Ain't Nobody 3 - loved it at the time, and a good performance to boot...but marks deducted for allowing itself to re-mixed, sampled, re-sampled, etc...
Phil Collins - Against All Odds 4 - nice, tender ballad from Phil, only spoilt by the unnecessary (and unsubtle) drum fill halfway-in...
Pointer Sisters - Automatic 4 - wobbled the leg to this at the time...couldn't understand why Ruth Pointer sounded like a man on this...
Duran Duran - The Reflex 4 - Duran back on form after a couple of extremely dodgy singles...
Kenny Loggins - Footloose 3 - his only real hit here...a bit dated...he has done better...
Wham - Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go 4 - criminally infectious 60's-sounding stuff from the boys...
Smiths - Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now 4 - marvellous stuff despite the tongue-in-cheek title...beautiful guitar riffing from Marr...
Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Two Tribes 3 - 7 inch single, 12 inch single, re-mixed 12 inch single, book, T-shirt, eternity at #1, more Trevor Horn production work...and with all those factors, no wonder it sounds ho-hum now...
Cyndi Lauper - Time After Time 4 - good effort in a completely different style from Cyndi...
Tina Turner - What's Love Got To Do With It 4 - Tina staging a remarkable comeback (complete with 'that' wig!) - supremely confident handling of a confident song...
Black Lace - Agadoo 1 - I'd rather Aga-don't...!
Laura Branigan - Self Control 4 - another continental song that Laura made her own...good performance...
Bluebells - Young At Heart 3 - dead-corny song with lots of fiddles on it...much better from them was 'I'm Falling'...
George Michael - Careless Whisper 4 - bit of an overplayed one, but a fine song nonetheless...yes Rice, he did do this whilst with Wham, but over here it was billed as a solo single (I believe it was billed as Wham in the US, which is where the confusion lies...)
Queen - I Want To Break Free 4 - another lot making something of a 'comeback'...still a very strong song...
Alphaville - Big In Japan 2 - huge Euro-pop hit which plodded along...not very memorable...
U2 - Pride (In The Name Of Love) 4 - about the best they achieved to my ears...everything after was all marked 'self-indulgent'...
Giorio Moroder/Phil Oakey - Together In Electric Dreams 4 - one of those cases where the song was bigger than the film (anyone seen it?)...catchy beyond all reason...
Cars - Drive 4 - this was its first outing - it returned the following year due to its use at Live Aid on a harrowing video - fine stuff, and quite a change of style from the lads...
Wham - Freedom 3 - more 60's-type froth...not too struck on this one...
Eurythmics - Sexcrime 3 - from yet another film! This sounded a bit too cluttered and over-produced...
Madonna - Like A Virgin 4 - global domination starts here! A landmark song in all senses...
Nik Kershaw - The Riddle 3 - not his best...he started to rapidly run out of ideas soon afterwards...
Foreigner - I Want To Know What Love Is 4 - good song by them (although I didn't care much for it at the time...), quiet build-up leads into a full-blown 'gospel chorus' ending...
Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas 4 - a fine concept, and a fine record...that aside, has anything been learned from it all...

I like the majority of that! Paul, I've seen the film 'Electric Dreams' - it's so laughable but the song was incredible.

I am one of the few people who loves 'Agadoo' by Black Lace. I think I'm going to get myself certified.

To verify for those who have questioned...

Careless Whisper was a solo effort by George, though technically he was still with Wham (well, just Andrew really) at the time.

Thanks..I just thought since it was on the 1984 release of the Wham LP "Make It Big" that it was indeed a Wham compilation.
