1. The Longest Time - Billy Joel 5
Amazingly superb and accurate tribute to the 'NY street corner' sound...Dion being the intended target here...fantastic...

2. I Wanna Dance With Somebody - Whitney Houston 1
Whitney by numbers...eek!

3. Manic Monday - The Bangles 4
Marvellous stuff...can't quite comprehend it's almost 20 years old...!

5. The Lido Shuffle - Boz Scaggs 5
Brilliant 'roll down yer window and drive' number...

6. Suzie Q - CCR 4
Good cover of the old Dale Hawkins song...as basic and as wholesome as they come...

7. Sloop John B - The Beach Boys 5
Delicious and awesomely different re-work of the old spiritual...somewhat out of kilter on 'Pet Sounds', but who cares?!!

8. I Heard A Rumour - Bananarama 3
Well at least they weren't slaughtering Steam, Shocking Blue, or The Doobies! Interesting, if a bit dated...

9. Rag Doll - Aerosmith 3
Good, but they were capable of better...

12. Kiss From A Rose - Seal 4
Intense and catchy...which is no mean feat all at once! Probably his best effort...

15. In The Summertime - Mungo Jerry 4
Superb (if a bit overplayed) tune...can't imagine a summer without hearing it...this lot got their big break by upstaging...

16. Touch Of Grey - The Grateful Dead 3
...this lot! At the Hollywood (UK) rock festival in 1970...not really typical 'Dead', but reasonable...

17. Legs - ZZ Top 3
Uber-basic 'chugga' number from the hairy ones...

19. U Got The Look - Prince and Sheena Easton 2
Ultimately more plastic than the stuff it was originally pressed on!

20. Stay - Jackson Browne 2
Has made some good stuff over many years...sadly, this doesn't cut it...a bit tiresome compared to the many versions I've heard...

21. Two Princes - The Spin Doctors 4
Shock! Horror! A post-1990 record I actually like! Belter of a song which they had immense difficulty in following-up...

22. Kodachrome - Paul Simon 3
Has done better, but okay for all that...banned over here due to use of trademark name, so we had to make do with 'Take Me To The Mardi Gras' instead, which was worse!

23. Gangsta's Paradise - Coolio 1
Puh-leeze!

24. Too Shy - Kajagoogoo 4
Ultra-slick 80's pop and no mistake...their best...they seem to be re-forming, just like...

25. Rio - Duran Duran 4
...this lot have recently done! Cool song which is remembered chiefly for the video, which basically summed up Duran at that time...

Barring a couple, nice mix...
