1. Maniac - Michael Sembello----3.5  Feel like busting a move myself when I hear this tune

2. Do You Really Want To Hurt Me - Culture Club-----3.5  OK, I like it

3. King Of Pain - The Police------4.5   Love it!! One of their most eerie tunes!

4. Goody Two Shoes - Adam Ant-----3.5  Sort of like me to a certain extent  

5. Stand Back - Stevie Nicks------3  Not the best from the Fleetwood Mac singers

7. Heartbreaker - Dionne Warwick----3.25   Almost neutral about the song, but I must say the vocals are quite good.

9. Making Love Out Of Nothing At All - Air Supply----2.5   Find it annoying

12. Mr. Roboto - Styx----3.25  Use to love it, but I think I overplayed it.

13. Come Dancing - The Kinks----3.5 (cute)

16. Puttin' On The Ritz - Taco----3.5

17. You And I - Crystal Gayle & Eddie Rabbitt----2 (yuck!)

19. Der Kommissar - After The Fire-----4 (cool tune!)

21. Faithfully - Journey-----3

23. Say It Isn't So - Hall & Oates----3.25  Find it funny how that phrase is used in a song title

24. Sexual Healing - Marvin Gaye----3  OK, but I thought that this was a 70s tune (I guess I'm out of it)

1. Maniac - Michael Sembello 2
Frantic synth and drum machine adventure...huge everywhere bar here...sounds more plastic than the stuff it was originally pressed on...!

2. Do You Really Want To Hurt Me - Culture Club 4
Well, I thought it was a girl at first! Nicely done number with soft reggae-ish overtones, though not their best...

3. King Of Pain - Police 3
Not my favourite of theirs, but has re-grown on me just a bit after repeated showings on various rating threads...

4. Goody Two Shoes - Adam Ant 4
He's not mad, really! Good solid drum-laden belter...one of his better ones...

5. Stand Back - Stevie Nicks 3
Rather disappointing affair...had she been listening to a Prince record?

6. Cum On Feel The Noize - Quiet Riot 2
Well, the idea was there...but mark me down as another who'll always prefer the Slade original...

7. Heartbreaker - Dionne Warwick 4
Likeable one from Dionne...still sounds quite good today...

8. Shame On The Moon - Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band 3
Reasonable, but not classic Bob...

9. Making Love Out Of Nothing At All - Air Supply 4
Yer typical Steinman song - bombastic and tons of words! It's a good effort, but just stops short of excellent...

10. Union Of The Snake - Duran Duran 3
Disappointingly weak one from Duran...got a bit complacent here, I think...

11. Jeopardy - Greg Kihn Band 4
Brilliant piece of 'rock-funk'...surprisingly still sounds good...

12. Mr Roboto - Styx 3
Couldn't really get into this...once again, huge in Europe bar here, and somewhat dated...

13. Come Dancing - Kinks 4
Excellent 'comeback' with Ray's typical witty look at life...sadly, they lost the momentum soon after...

14. I Know There's Something Going On - Frida 4
A more powerful number than some people remember...it all looked promising for a solo career, but she couldn't build on it...

15. Heart And Soul - Huey Lewis & The News 4
Fine number, one of their best...inexplicably done nothing here...

16. Puttin' On The Ritz - Taco 1
Ssh! Listen! Hear that? That's the gentle sound of Irving Berlin spinning in his grave! Simply awful rendition of a classic song...in a rare show of good taste, this was big everywhere but here!

17. You And I - Crystal Gayle & Eddie Rabbitt ? (tho' I'm convinced I have heard it somewhere...!)

18. Never Gonna Let You Go - Sergio Mendes 3
Attractive song at first sitting, but does get tiresome...

19. Der Kommissar - After The Fire 3
Yet another 'big in Europe' song (originally done by Falco), but not here...nothing too exciting, I'm afraid...

20. Promises Promises - Naked Eyes ?

21. Faithfully - Journey 4
Naturally stunning number from the AOR giants...

22. Allentown - Billy Joel 3
Not his best, tune-wise, but some clever lyrics attached...

23. Say It Isn't So - Hall & Oates 3
Good effort, if just a tad dated with the production...

24. Sexual Healing - Marvin Gaye 4
Fine 'comeback' attempt with the voice on fine form...worth the while just to hear BBC DJ's try not to mention the dreaded 'S' word (by order of the BBC ethics department!)

26. The Other Guy - Little River Band 3
Pleasant enough shuffler, but nothing compared to the glory days...
