You didn't?!! Good Lord...I'd've done my nut...!

1. Good Times - Chic 5 - classic thumper which launched a million samples...

2. Fire - Pointer Sisters 4 - slow-burning (sorry!) seductive number...hard to believe that Bruce penned this...one of their best...

3. We Are Family - Sister Sledge 4 - good belting tune from the sibs...underwent a needless remix some years ago...

4. You're Only Lonely - J D Souther 4 - wonderfully mellow country-rock...never stood a chance here!

5. I Want You To Want Me - Cheap Trick 4 - still a fine rocker...for reasons unknown, this always appears on 'punk' compilations over here!

6. Too Much Heaven - Bee Gees 4 - beautiful and highly polished song which sort-of oozes out of the speakers...

7. Don't Bring Me Down - ELO 4 - containing the most subtle drum riff known to man, this came out of the speakers in a solid lump! Includes the only known example of 'Groooosss' contained in a lyric...!

8. Ring My Bell - Anita Ward 3 - okay piece of dancefloor confection...rather dated with those syndrums, though...

9. Reunited - Peaches & Herb 3 - drippy and slushy affair which was huge as the 'last grope' dance at our yoof club! In retrospect, probably a little too drippy and slushy...

10. Bad Girls - Donna Summer 3 - so-so disco workout...not as good as 'Hot Stuff' from that year...

11. Do Ya Think I'm Sexy - Rod Stewart 4 - much-maligned 'Rod-Goes-Disco' track...not his best, I agree...but fine with me...

12. I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor 3 - the much-loved feminist 'anthem', alright when she sings it, but...I wouldn't like to imagine the amount of times I've had this screamed down my earholes by rabid women at karaokes...frightening!

13. Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy - Bad Company 4 - fine late effort from the band...

14. Heart Of Glass - Blondie 4 - fine 'new-wave-meets-disco' number...not their best, but still rated highly...

15. Tragedy - Bee Gees 4 - another fine song before the brothers disappeared for a few years...gained a new audience when our 'pretty' band 'Steps' churned out a cover a while back...

16. My Sharona - Knack 4 - good, fun number with the most simplest of riffs...

17. Promises - Eric Clapton 3 - bit of a 'safe' one from the man...

18. What A Fool Believes - Doobie Brothers 5 - excellent stuff...has 'radio-friendly' written all over it, which is not a  derogatory statement if they're as good as this...

They all sound like fine compilations, CF...ours never seem to show that much range or imagination...
