Bad Influences - Another Clapton song I'm not crazy about.
Both Sides of the Story - I had pretty much stop listening to Phil by this point. Don't know the song.
Don't Cry Out Loud - Good song, although I like her other hits better.
I Can See Clearly Now - Seems to appear on every compilation, like it's one of the greatest songs every made. It's not.
Losing My Religion - I don't REM very well, although my son is a fan. Don't know this one.
I Found Someone - The more I see & hear Cher's music of the last 15 years, the less I like it.
Veteran Cosmic Rocker - ?
You Should be Mine - ?
Powerful Stuff - ?
Shimmy Shimmy KoKo Bop - I kinda like this song, and most of what Little Anthony did.
Miss Me Blind - no thanks
Sucker in a 3 Piece - Might have been the reason I quit listening to Van Halen.
Enjoy Yourself - Didn't like this disco/funk from the Jacksons.
What You Get is What You See - Tina recorded a lot of good songs, both with Ike & solo. This wasn't one of them.
I Won't Stand in Your Way - Don't remember this one. I'll have to find this & give it a listen.
Lights Out - Someone else who had a decent solo career, but his solo songs will never match those with J. Geils.
Dirty Diana - no thanks.
Hero - no thanks
To Live & Die in L.A. - ?
Cherish - Kool & the Gang should have stuck to the big brass funky kind of sound. They were much better at that.

Bad Influence--Never heard it.
Both Sides of the Story--Can't place it.
Don't Cry Out Loud--Kinda overwrought, with silly lyrics.
I Can See Clearly Now--You know the line "I can see all obstacles in my way"? I used to think he said "I can see all icicles in my way". LOL! Anyway, not a bad song, but I've heard it enough.
Losing My Religion--I don't know what the song's about, but I like it.
I Found Someone--Pretty good, but I'm a Cher fan.
Veteran Cosmic Rocker--No clue.
You Should Be Mine (The Woo Woo Song)--How lame can ya get?
Powerful Stuff--I always liked the Thunderbirds. This was a good song.
Shimmy Shimmy Ko Ko Bop--Lightweight, harmless fun.
Miss Me Blind--One of my favorite Culture Club tunes.
Sucker in a 3 Piece--I might know it if I heard it. The title sounds like I'm not missing much, though.
Enjoy Yourself--Love it!
What You Get is What You See--I can take it or leave it.
I Won't Stand in Your Way--Good stuff from the Cats.
Lights Out--Used to crank this one up to eleven!
Dirty Diana--Awful. Just awful.
Hero--I'd probably like this song better if someone else sang it.
To Live and Die in L.A.--Hated the song, hated the movie.
Cherish--A little too sappy, imo.

6420. Bad Influence-Eric Clapton 1987 From my mom's favorite Clapton album. I barely remember the tune though. 6419. Both Sides of the Story-Phil Collins 1993 Yuck 6418. Don't Cry Out Loud-Melissa Manchester 1978/79 I like Midnight Blue better but this is still a good one. 6417. I Can See Clearly Now-Johnny Nash 1972  What?! A Martina criticism? Anyway, this song is not one of my faves. An overplayed classic. 6416. Losing My Religion-R.E.M. 1991 I agree that this song got too much hype. 6415. I Found Someone-Cher 1987/88 I barely remember this. 6414. Veteran Cosmic Rocker-Moody Blues 1981 I've never heard this track 6413. You Should Be Mine (The Woo Woo Song)-Jeffrey Osbourne 1986 No, this should be ranked lower for being a JEFFREY OSBOURNE song. I can't believe you have 3 Aretha songs lower on the list that this one. 6412. Powerful Stuff-Fabulous Thunderbirds 1988 Pales compared to "Wrap It Up" 6411. Shimmy, Shimmy, Ko-Ko-Bop-Little Anthony & the Imperials 1959/60 Not bad 6410. Miss Me Blind-Culture Club 1984 Wow, you really aren't a CC fan. I LOVE this song. Probably my fave from them. 6409. Sucker in a 3 Piece-Van Halen 1988 Sammy did dork them out a little. Don't like this tune but I also haven't heard it since I was in college. 6408. Enjoy Yourself-Jacksons 1976/77 I like this one. 6407. What You Get is What You See-Tine Turner 1987 Next... 6406. I Won't Stand in Your Way-Stray Cats 1983 Kind of forgettable 6405. Lights Out-Peter Wolf 1984 I would think this would be higher on your list. 6404. Dirty Diana-Michael Jackson 1988 I HATE THIS SONG!  6403. Hero-Mariah Carey 1993 This is an example of a well written song but I don't really like Mariah's voice on it. Too syrupy. Although the version she sang for the 9/11 fundraiser was beautiful. 6402. To Live and Die in L.A.-Wang Chung 1985 Not a bad one from them. 6401. Cherish-Kool & the Gang 1985 I like their ballads like "Too Hot" better. 6417. LOL! I guess it is, sorta, criticism for her choosing such a song. But she does better stuff like Blue Bayou in concert too! 6416. Glad SOMEONE agrees with me! 6413. LOL! I just don't dig Aretha that much. You're pretty brutal to Tina, whereas I though you would've ranked her as a legend. |

Cool, I finally found it. Looks like there are new icons too...but they only show as red "x"'s for me  6420. Bad Influence-Eric Clapton 1987 Don't know it...weak Clapton period 6419. Both Sides of the Story-Phil Collins 1993 Don't know it, thank goodness. 6418. Don't Cry Out Loud-Melissa Manchester 1978/79 It's okay. Was one of the better ballads of early 79. 6417. I Can See Clearly Now-Johnny Nash 1972 Loved it as a kid, have grown very sick of it. Overplayed and over-covered. 6416. Losing My Religion-R.E.M. 1991 Brilliant song with deep and profound lyrics. Stipes voice has been better and his gasps for air can be heard at some points. Nice mandolin work here. 6415. I Found Someone-Cher 1987/88 Just...yuck! 6414. Veteran Cosmic Rocker-Moody Blues 1981 Don't know it 6413. You Should Be Mine (The Woo Woo Song)-Jeffrey Osbourne 1986 Oh this one was really bad AND annoying 6412. Powerful Stuff-Fabulous Thunderbirds 1988 Nothing special. Not a strong followup to Tough Enough 6411. Shimmy, Shimmy, Ko-Ko-Bop-Little Anthony & the Imperials 1959/60 Little Anthony had much better than this silly little ditty. 6410. Miss Me Blind-Culture Club 1984 It wasn't Hi-C...um...anyway. I kinda liked this song; good harmonies and instrumentation. 6409. Sucker in a 3 Piece-Van Halen 1988 Forgettable. Hagar simply didn't have Dave's charisma although their egos are about the same size. 6408. Enjoy Yourself-Jacksons 1976/77 Is it the Jacksons? Is it the Sylvers? IN 1976/77 you could never be sure...this is a weak effort for MJ & Co. 6407. What You Get is What You See-Tine Turner 1987 This song deserves its ranking. Enough said. 6406. I Won't Stand in Your Way-Stray Cats 1983 HIGHLY overlooked doo-wop ballad reminescent of the late 50's. Good one. 6405. Lights Out-Peter Wolf 1984 Never heard on radio anymore. It was okay. Mediocre... 6404. Dirty Diana-Michael Jackson 1988 Weakest track from "Bad". Would NEVER have been released as a single if this album had been as solid as "Thriller" 6403. Hero-Mariah Carey 1993 God help us all. Please make it stop!!! 6402. To Live and Die in L.A.-Wang Chung 1985 I remember it well. Mediocre song that barely charted. Had a video that was rather hard to figure out (but at least this one didn't induce seizures) 6401. Cherish-Kool & the Gang 1985 This was one of their biggest hits, but simply doesn't stand the test of time like some of their other recordings. Glad you found it! I didn't look, did you get to see the other ones as well? 6410. LMAO!! Too funny!! |

6420. Bad Influence-Eric Clapton 1987 Don't remember it. 6419. Both Sides of the Story-Phil Collins 1993 Know the title, not the song. 6418. Don't Cry Out Loud-Melissa Manchester 1978/79 Never liked it.. 6417. I Can See Clearly Now-Johnny Nash 1972 Good one. 6416. Losing My Religion-R.E.M. 1991 Never cared for this one. I like REM in small doses, though. 6415. I Found Someone-Cher 1987/88 eh... She's done better. 6414. Veteran Cosmic Rocker-Moody Blues 1981 Know The Voice and Gemini Dream from this period, not this. 6413. You Should Be Mine (The Woo Woo Song)-Jeffrey Osbourne 1986 He appeared in an episode of Cosby, performing this song. The crazy guy who looked like Coolio got in his face and went "I'LL WOO WOO YOU!" when it appeared that Jeffery was singing it to his girlfriend.. Hilarious! 6412. Powerful Stuff-Fabulous Thunderbirds 1988 The beret guy with the pencil-thin moustache? Sgt. Slaughter's younger brother? LOL! 6411. Shimmy, Shimmy, Ko-Ko-Bop-Little Anthony & the Imperials 1959/60 Cute.. 6410. Miss Me Blind-Culture Club 1984 I like it 6409. Sucker in a 3 Piece-Van Halen 1988 OK, 5150 had SOME good moments, but OU812 was the album that really made me realize that Van Hagar sucked! 6408. Enjoy Yourself-Jacksons 1976/77 It was the single that came after this, "Show You The Way To Go" that I REALLY liked. 6407. What You Get is What You See-Tine Turner 1987 Don't remember it. 6406. I Won't Stand in Your Way-Stray Cats 1983 My fave by them. 6405. Lights Out-Peter Wolf 1984 Got played a LOT in summer of '84. It was OK. I don't think I've heard it since it was current! 6404. Dirty Diana-Michael Jackson 1988 One of the better Bad songs, but that isn't saying much. 6403. Hero-Mariah Carey 1993 Only like one song by her, and this is not it.. 6402. To Live and Die in L.A.-Wang Chung 1985 Remember the movie, not the song. 6401. Cherish-Kool & the Gang 1985 Blah... Misled was the best single off that album! 6412. LOL! 6409. Actually, I thought the album had some good moments-Black and Blue, Feels So Good, When it's Love-but the album cuts were BRUTAL for the most part! |

6416. From what I just recently read (on here maybe??) it was about him coming out of the closet! YIKES! According to what I read somewhere, "losing one's religion" means being at one's breaking point. Hmmmmm, maybe breaking out of the closet! LOL! |

6420. I don't know it. 6419. Ditto. 6418. Yes I know this song! I have so many interesting things to say about this song! It was written by Carole Bayer Sager and Peter Allen, who was Liza Minnelli's first husband. Liza's version is actually the one I'm familiar with, and not Melissa Manchester's. Also, Melissa Manchester used to sing backup for Bette. Wow. I scare myself sometimes with all of this useless knowledge that I have. ;D 6417. Is this that "I can see clearly now the rain is gone"? If so, it's way overplayed. 6416. This is my favorite R.E.M. song. I don't know what it is about it. I just love it. 6415. Love it, love it, love it. Of course, there hasn't been much Cher has recorded that I didn't like! 6414. I'm not familiar with Moody Blues. 6413. NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't even know this song, it just sounds REALLY lame. 6412. Don't know it. 6411. See above. 6410. Yet again, I don't know it. 6409. This either. 6408. Or this one. 6407. Ditto. 6406. Double ditto. 6405. Boy, am I on a roll! 6404. Keep 'em coming! 6403. This is my favorite Mariah Carey song. These lyrics mean so much to me, and this is one of her most beautiful vocal performances. She dressed it up just enough, but not too much. Gorgeous. 6402. I don't know this song. 6401. Or this one.  6418. Ah, we all know useless info about our faves! Except me-all Martina info is VERY useful.  |

6420. Bad Influence-Eric Clapton 1987 I'm not too familiar with this one. 6419. Both Sides of the Story-Phil Collins 1993 I must agree that Phil had lost his touch by this time. 6418. Don't Cry Out Loud-Melissa Manchester 1978/79 Wonderful vocals from Melissa. I love to sing along with this one. 6417. I Can See Clearly Now-Johnny Nash 1972 I remember singing this a lot as a little kid. 6416. Losing My Religion-R.E.M. 1991 I like the guitar work on this, but I'm not crazy about the vocals. 6415. I Found Someone-Cher 1987/88 Nice, but I like her 70's work more. 6414. Veteran Cosmic Rocker-Moody Blues 1981 This is one I should know (I have Long Distance Voyager), but can't quite place. 6413. You Should Be Mine (The Woo Woo Song)-Jeffrey Osbourne 1986 I've always kinda liked this one. 6412. Powerful Stuff-Fabulous Thunderbirds 1988 I don't know this one, but if it sounds anything like 'Wrap It Up', I think I'd like it. 6411. Shimmy, Shimmy, Ko-Ko-Bop-Little Anthony & the Imperials 1959/60 Little Anthony did a much better job with the ballads. 6410. Miss Me Blind-Culture Club 1984 Loved this back in the day, and still do. 6409. Sucker in a 3 Piece-Van Halen 1988 I'm not familiar with this one. 6408. Enjoy Yourself-Jacksons 1976/77 I really like this - kind of a cross between early Jackson 5 and the more disco-oriented songs they did in the late 70s. 6407. What You Get is What You See-Tine Turner 1987 Not Tina's best, definitely. 6406. I Won't Stand in Your Way-Stray Cats 1983 Don't know this one. 6405. Lights Out-Peter Wolf 1984 I like this, but I agree, his work with J. Geils was better. 6404. Dirty Diana-Michael Jackson 1988 I don't like this one as much as I used to. 6403. Hero-Mariah Carey 1993 Nice lyrics, but I like Mariah better on the faster numbers like 'Someday' and 'Make It Happen'. 6402. To Live and Die in L.A.-Wang Chung 1985 I can't recall this one. 6401. Cherish-Kool & the Gang 1985 I agree with Pete - 'Misled' was definitely the best track from Emergency. 6412. Oh, you'd probably like this one. |

[glow=red,2,300]6420. Bad Influence-Eric Clapton 1987 This is an okay song. I can stand it anyway. 6419. Both Sides of the Story-Phil Collins 1993 I haven't heard this one. 6418. Don't Cry Out Loud-Melissa Manchester 1978/79 I haven't heard this one either. 6417. I Can See Clearly Now-Johnny Nash 1972 I don't really care for this song that much. 6416. Losing My Religion-R.E.M. 1991 It is an okay song but I agree--it is overrated. 6415. I Found Someone-Cher 1987/88 I was never big on Cher to begin with, and I don't really care for this song. 6414. Veteran Cosmic Rocker-Moody Blues 1981 Not one of my favorite Moody Blues songs. 6413. You Should Be Mine (The Woo Woo Song)-Jeffrey Osbourne 1986 This song irritates me. 6412. Powerful Stuff-Fabulous Thunderbirds 1988 I haven't heard this song yet. 6411. Shimmy, Shimmy, Ko-Ko-Bop-Little Anthony & the Imperials 1959/60 I haven't heard this one. 6410. Miss Me Blind-Culture Club 1984 I don't really like this song much, but I was never that big on Culture Club either. 6409. Sucker in a 3 Piece-Van Halen 1988 I haven't heard this one. 6408. Enjoy Yourself-Jacksons 1976/77 Nor this one. 6407. What You Get is What You See-Tine Turner 1987 An okay song. Not one of my favorites by her though. 6406. I Won't Stand in Your Way-Stray Cats 1983 Haven't heard this one. 6405. Lights Out-Peter Wolf 1984 Nor this one. 6404. Dirty Diana-Michael Jackson 1988 I don't really care for this song either. 6403. Hero-Mariah Carey 1993 I haven't heard this one...I try to listen to as little of her stuff as I can. 6402. To Live and Die in L.A.-Wang Chung 1985 Haven't heard this one. 6401. Cherish-Kool & the Gang 1985 Not one of my favorite songs. I really don't like it much at all.[/glow] 6414. Wow, I'm impressed you know this one! |

Loving it! 6420. Not bad. 6419. This song was a bit drawn out; otherwise, quite good. 6418. Growing on me VERY slowly; the only top 40 tune from 1979 I don't rave over. 6417. This tune ALWAYS works for me when I'm having a "down" day. One of the most optimistic songs ever recorded. 6416. Sorry, Sat--one of my 2 faves from them--both from the same album! 6415. Pretty great; coming hot off her Oscar win. 6414. From their all-time best album! I love every song on it; no exception here! 6413. I have hardly heard this since it was current! Even in public places like McDonald's where I expect to hear it! I could hear this one again! 6412. SHO NUFF! Rock on, Fabs! 6411. Always loved this! 6410. You better pack MY dance floor with this! 6409. Not too shabby, one I play less often from VH. 6408. I've known this since it hit! And it hasn't let up! Get your dance on! 6407. How this hit bigger than "Two people" is WAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY beyond me. Nowhere NEAR as good. 6406. If Rali hasn't heard this, she should. I can picture her LOVING this. But I prefer their bigger hits. 6405. Dance, dance, dance! Always LOVED this to death. 6404. Well, there's the 6th of 8! Just the title smash...and... (PLEASE I hope you didn't forget about it! It was used in the short Captain E-O film) 6403. Her best song yet to the time. I swear Mariah is speaking to me on this. So when I feel that hope is gone, you know how to talk to me, Mariah. Just the exact opposite of Bette's only #1. Sory, Lora. 6402. This one seemed to get a LOT more play than the slightly bigger (in peak) "Don't let go". Haven't heard it much since 1986. 6401. Most of my family loves this song. A far cry from their disco/dance stuff. 6406. I agree, I think Rali would like this! 6405. I thought he said "Blast, blast, blast"! LOL! |

Just did. I like it a lot! Has a lot of CCR influence in there. Also checked out the Stray Cats I Won't Stand In Your Way. Like that one too. Thanks, Adam.  Hey, no prob! |

6420. Bad Influence-Eric Clapton 1987 I'm not familiar, but I don't care for Clapton. 6419. Both Sides of the Story-Phil Collins 1993 Actually, I liked this one. 6418. Don't Cry Out Loud-Melissa Manchester 1978/79 I really don't like this one. The part about crying over the circus. I can understand the clowns freaking you out, but it's just a lame-o song in my opinion. She didn't want parades passing by her? UM-kay. 6417. I Can See Clearly Now-Johnny Nash 1972 I like this one, but can't picture Martina singing it. 6416. Losing My Religion-R.E.M. 1991 I try not to understand their songs. I just like this one. 6415. I Found Someone-Cher 1987/88 I don't care for this era of Cher. 6414. Veteran Cosmic Rocker-Moody Blues 1981 I saw them that same year! Sur La Mer tour. I like this one. 6413. You Should Be Mine (The Woo Woo Song)-Jeffrey Osbourne 1986 We saw Kevin Meaney do a stand-up show once. He used to sing songs ala Wayne Newton - this one was funny! 6412. Powerful Stuff-Fabulous Thunderbirds 1988 I like Wrap It Up. That's about it. 6411. Shimmy, Shimmy, Ko-Ko-Bop-Little Anthony & the Imperials 1959/60 No thanks. 6410. Miss Me Blind-Culture Club 1984 Again with the gay cracks regarding my bands! This song is great! You want some good imagery? Time (Is Like A Clock Of The Heart) was written about their drummer! Think about that! 6409. Sucker in a 3 Piece-Van Halen 1988 I'm not familiar with this one. 6408. Enjoy Yourself-Jacksons 1976/77 Or this one. 6407. What You Get is What You See-Tine Turner 1987 No thanks. 6406. I Won't Stand in Your Way-Stray Cats 1983 I don't like the Stray Cats. 6405. Lights Out-Peter Wolf 1984 Love it! Come as you are is better, but this one's good. 6404. Dirty Diana-Michael Jackson 1988 He really needs to just go away.... 6403. Hero-Mariah Carey 1993 I can't stand her at all! 6402. To Live and Die in L.A.-Wang Chung 1985 I love this one. Have it on cd. THe movie sucked. 6401. Cherish-Kool & the Gang 1985 Too many weddings in the 80's...... 6417. I was kindof surprised she does it, as it doesn't really showcase her vocal range. It's just a song. I guess she just plain likes it, like Harper Valley PTA. 6410. YEESH!! And I consider that my "fave" CC song!!  |

Bad Influences - Another Clapton song I'm not crazy about. Both Sides of the Story - I had pretty much stop listening to Phil by this point. Don't know the song. Don't Cry Out Loud - Good song, although I like her other hits better. I Can See Clearly Now - Seems to appear on every compilation, like it's one of the greatest songs every made. It's not. Losing My Religion - I don't REM very well, although my son is a fan. Don't know this one. I Found Someone - The more I see & hear Cher's music of the last 15 years, the less I like it. Veteran Cosmic Rocker - ? You Should be Mine - ? Powerful Stuff - ? Shimmy Shimmy KoKo Bop - I kinda like this song, and most of what Little Anthony did. Miss Me Blind - no thanks Sucker in a 3 Piece - Might have been the reason I quit listening to Van Halen. Enjoy Yourself - Didn't like this disco/funk from the Jacksons. What You Get is What You See - Tina recorded a lot of good songs, both with Ike & solo. This wasn't one of them. I Won't Stand in Your Way - Don't remember this one. I'll have to find this & give it a listen. Lights Out - Someone else who had a decent solo career, but his solo songs will never match those with J. Geils. Dirty Diana - no thanks. Hero - no thanks To Live & Die in L.A. - ? Cherish - Kool & the Gang should have stuck to the big brass funky kind of sound. They were much better at that. I think, like H2, you'll like the tune by the Strays! |

Bad Influence--Never heard it. Both Sides of the Story--Can't place it. Don't Cry Out Loud--Kinda overwrought, with silly lyrics. I Can See Clearly Now--You know the line "I can see all obstacles in my way"? I used to think he said "I can see all icicles in my way". LOL! Anyway, not a bad song, but I've heard it enough.

You Should Be Mine (The Woo Woo Song)--How lame can ya get? Powerful Stuff--I always liked the Thunderbirds. This was a good song. Shimmy Shimmy Ko Ko Bop--Lightweight, harmless fun.

What You Get is What You See--I can take it or leave it. I Won't Stand in Your Way--Good stuff from the Cats. Lights Out--Used to crank this one up to eleven! Dirty Diana--Awful. Just awful. Hero--I'd probably like this song better if someone else sang it. To Live and Die in L.A.--Hated the song, hated the movie. Cherish--A little too sappy, imo. It's better than all "testicles" in your way! LMAO!!!!!! |

What?! A Martina criticism? Anyway, this song is not one of my faves. An overplayed classic.
