1. Careless Whisper - Wham! (or George Michael solo, but we've been thru' that before!)
Corny as they come, but a defining moment...4

2. Sussudio - Phil Collins
Sounded as if Phil had been listening to a Prince record or two...not overly wonderful...3

3. Walking On Sunshine - Katrina & The Waves
One of the few songs that everyone seems to hate but me! Quite simply, a fine pop song...4

4. Alive And Kicking - Simple Minds
Highly polished stuff, but did lose their way after it...4

5. All I Need - Jack Wagner ?

6. Never - Heart
Not a terrible effort, but far from their best...3

7. I Miss You - Klymaxx ?

8. The Boys Of Summer - Don Henley
Almost-perfect solo outing, still warmly remembered...5

9. We Belong - Pat Benetar
Fine number, one of her better ones...4

10. Small Town - John Cougar Mellencamp
Incredible how this missed here! Superb...4

11. Obsession - Animotion
Noisy plodder which hasn't dated well...3

12. The Heat Is On - Glenn Frey
Much-liked at the time, but has grown stale...3

13. Smooth Operator - Sade
If dear ol' Sade sounds half-bored singing it, imagine how I feel when listening to it! 2

14. Who's Zoomin' Who - Aretha Franklin
Okay-ish 'comeback' material, but hardly compares to the legendary 60's/early 70's output...3

15. I'm On Fire - Bruce Springsteen
Normally I can take or leave Bruce's stuff, but this moody number was a welcome departure from his norm...4

16. Private Dancer - Tina Turner
Fine song from Knopfler and sung extremely well by the 'wig'...4

17. Dress You Up - Madonna
Ho-hum but okay pop-dance affair, dated overall...3

18. California Girls - David Lee Roth
Done in an extremely tongue-in-cheek style, but can never outshine the original...3

19. Nightshift - Commodores
Nice mellow Jackie/Marvin tribute, not their best but up there somewheres...4

20. You're The Inspiration - Chicago
Chief exponents of the 'power ballad' doing a, er...'power ballad' - fine one too...4

21. Sea Of Love - Honeydrippers
Despite all the talent involved, the original's miles better...3

22. Heaven - Bryan Adams
Great rousing number, one of his best early ones...4

23. A View To A Kill - Duran Duran
Good effort which owes a lot to John Barry's arrangement...4

24. Cherish - Kool & The Gang
Prefer their uptempo stuff more, but this was good...4

25. Shout - Tears For Fears
Awesomely noisy racket which went on for longer than it needed to...3

Yes, but that was just her mellow singing style.  :-/

I actually prefer other tracks off of that album.  :)
