6160. Velcro Fly-ZZ Top 1986 One of their better 80's songs.

6159. My Hometown-Bruce Springsteen 1985/86 The album was out for TWO YEARS when they made this a single. By then I was sick of him!

6158. Long, Long Way to Go-Phil Collins 1985 Never heard it.

6157. Rumble Seat-John Mellencamp 1986 Never heard it.

6156. Walking on the Moon-Police 1979 I like it.

6155. War-Edwin Starr 1970 "Twenty-five Miles" is WAY better!

6154. Respect Yourself-Staple Singers 1971 No Bruno, THIS is the version to own

6153. Big Love-Fleetwood Mac 1987 What's everyone got against this song? I like it.

6152. Shattered Dreams-Johnny Hates Jazz 1988 Good tune, follow-up was good too. I never bought the album, though.

6151. Live to Tell-Madonna 1986 I always liked this one. I think this is one of her BETTER songs!

6150. Bad Man-Bad Company 1988 (Previous ranking 4372) Never owned this, had friends that did..

6149. Lucille-Kenny Rogers 1977 First Edition all the way!

6148. No Surrender-Bruce Springsteen 1984 Not familiar

6147. Every Rose Has it's Thorn-Poison 1988 "just like every hair band, sings a bad, bad song...."

6146. Wildflower-Skylark 1973 Great Blue-eyed soul.

6145. Creep-TLC 1994

6144. When Love and Hate Collide-Def Leppard 1995 (Previous ranking 5042) Heard of it, never heard it..

6143. War (Live)-Bruce Springsteen 1984 Nah..

6142. (Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection-Nelson 1990 Double nah..

6141. I Want You-Savage Garden 1997 (Previous ranking 4979) eh...

6159. Just like the final singles from Hysteria.

6153. Um, it stinks? LOL! No seriously, for me personally, I hate the guitar on it, and the "Ooh, ahh's" at the end are just too much.

6160. Velcro Fly-ZZ Top 1986
LOVED this LOTS since getting "Afterburner" for Xmas '85. Still love it today; eternal top 1000.

6159. My Hometown-Bruce Springsteen 1985/86
On the other hand; not one of my huge faves from Xmas '85. Every other song from USA's better; and I LOVE "Santa Claus".

6158. Long, Long Way to Go-Phil Collins 1985
I tried to not play too much solo Phil in college; not real familiar with this.

6157. Rumble Seat-John Mellencamp 1986
Absolutely great; almost a tie for my 2nd fave from Scarecrow.

6156. Walking on the Moon-Police 1979
True reggae; hardly rock. Not bad.

6155. War-Edwin Starr 1970
Will SOMEONE PLEASE drop the bomb on Saddam ALREADY!!!!!

6154. Respect Yourself-Staple Singers 1971
Great one.

6153. Big Love-Fleetwood Mac 1987
My fave of theirs since "Hold Me".

6152. Shattered Dreams-Johnny Hates Jazz 1988
Still great.

6151. Live to Tell-Madonna 1986
#1 almost strictly on her popularity. Hardly aged in 17 1/2 years.

6150. Bad Man-Bad Company 1988 (Previous ranking 4372)
Not very familiar with it.

6149. Lucille-Kenny Rogers 1977
Great, but still not his best.

6148. No Surrender-Bruce Springsteen 1984
Not bad, but likewise one of my lesser faves from USA.

6147. Every Rose Has it's Thorn-Poison 1988
Just knew this had to hit #1; MONTHS before it hit the chart. Not real crazy for it still.

6146. Wildflower-Skylark 1973
A solid fave since childhood. GREAT guitar and SUPER vocals from Donny Gerard.

6145. Creep-TLC 1994
Sorry--STP's my least fave of those 3. Radiohead isn't bad, and this is good, loved it when it was big, but don't play it much today.

6144. When Love and Hate Collide-Def Leppard 1995 (Previous ranking 5042)
I hardly ever listen to their last 3 HOT 100 hits; in fact I prefer some of their newer stuff like "Work it out" and "Promises".

6143. War (Live)-Bruce Springsteen 1984
Good, but no one beats Edwin.

6142. (Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection-Nelson 1990
It took like, FIVE years for a second album (no surprise, a bomb). The "After the rain" album's not bad, but it's hardly aged well.

6141. I Want You-Savage Garden 1997 (Previous ranking 4979)
My forever fave of these 20. From pop music's last great year. SOLID retro-pop rock, almost good dance floor material! All subsequent efforts forever molded them as a modern Air Supply, and that seemed to shy away the more serious fans of the song--a shame. Eternal top 500.

6144. Was this a Hot 100 hit?

6153. Big Love-Fleetwood Mac 1987
Haven't heard this song.

6152. Shattered Dreams-Johnny Hates Jazz 1988
This song is all right, if it is the one I think it is.

6151. Live to Tell-Madonna 1986
I've never really liked Madonna in general, and I don't really care for this song.

6150. Bad Man-Bad Company 1988 (Previous ranking 4372)
Haven't heard this one.

6149. Lucille-Kenny Rogers 1977
Ewww....Kenny Rogers in general isn't my thing though.

I haven't heard this song.

6147. Every Rose Has it's Thorn-Poison 1988

I haven't heard this one.

6145. Creep-TLC 1994
Nor this one.

6144. When Love and Hate Collide-Def Leppard 1995 (Previous ranking 5042)
Nor this one.

6143. War (Live)-Bruce Springsteen 1984
I haven't heard this version but I can't seem to imagine a version by Bruce Springsteen.

6142. (Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection-Nelson 1990
I haven't heard this one.

6141. I Want You-Savage Garden 1997 (Previous ranking 4979)
I don't like this one very much.
[/glow]

6143. It's not much different-just more strained vocals.

Velcro Fly - Hey this song isn't that bad.
My Hometown - I really like this song.
6157 & 6158 - Don't know them
Walking on the Moon - Weird song, not their best
War - Great protest song, revive recently, still carries a message
Respect Yourself - Good song that Bruce never should have done.
Big Love - Don't remember this
Shattered Dreams - Not so bad, but they did better
6150 & 6151 - Don't remember them
Lucille - I always wondered if Lucille was better off by leaving him. What a whinner.
No Surrender - Not a favorite
6144 - 6147 - Don't know or remember them
War - Why Bruce decided to cover a 60s protest song in the 80s, I don't know. Like the original better
6141 & 6142 - Don't know them.

Lucille-LMAO!!

Velcro Fly--Yeesh! Sorta silly.

My Hometown--Kinda boring. Seems to drag on forever.

Long Long Way to Go--Don't remember this one.

Rumble Seat--I can't really remember how this goes, but I think I like it ok.

Walking on the Moon--Can't place it.

War--Grossly overplayed.

Respect Yourself--I like it.

Big Love--One of my least favorite Mac songs. Wildly annoying.

Shattered Dreams--Never cared for it.

Live to Tell--I didn't like this much when it was popular. It has since grown on me, and I don't mind listening to it occasionally.

Bad Man--No clue.

Lucille--Oh geez. Do I have to admit I kinda like this one?

No Surrender--This might be all right. Don't really remember it.

Every Rose Has Its Thorn--A guilty pleasure, I suppose.

Wildflower--I discovered this song when I was 19, and was going through some rough times. I heard the lyrics to this, and they just spoke to me: "She's faced the hardest times you could imagine. And many times her eyes fought back the tears..." Yep, that was me, all right.

Creep--Haven't heard this song very much. I can take it or leave it, i guess.

When Love and Hate Collide--Not bad, but there are other Def Leppard songs I'd rather listen to.

War (Live)--Pretty good version.

Love and Affection--Another guilty pleasure. I played the Nelson CD quite often.

I Want You--Love this. Haven't heard it in awhile. I'd like to, just to see if I could still keep up with it. LOL!

Winger AND Nelson??.......Ho-kay.....

I really thought that I had responded to this yesterday. Work has me stressed to the limit.

6160. Velcro Fly-ZZ Top 1986
Don't know this one at all.

6159. My Hometown-Bruce Springsteen 1985/86
The Santa Claus song is on the flipside?! That's kind of odd because this song is kind of a downer. Anyway, I like this one from Bruce a lot.

6158. Long, Long Way to Go-Phil Collins 1985
I've only heard it a few times and I can't remember if I like it or not.

6157. Rumble Seat-John Mellencamp 1986
Not his best

6156. Walking on the Moon-Police 1979
I love this one. Awesome bass and drums.

6155. War-Edwin Starr 1970
I like to hear this one occasionally.

6154. Respect Yourself-Staple Singers 1971
Linking this to Bruce isn't fair to Mavis. A good one from this family.

6153. Big Love-Fleetwood Mac 1987
Don't remember the video. Not their best.

6152. Shattered Dreams-Johnny Hates Jazz 1988
Loved it in highschool! Still kind of dig it today.

6151. Live to Tell-Madonna 1986
I actually like this one. It was such a radical departure from what she was doing at the time.

6150. Bad Man-Bad Company 1988
Yuck

6149. Lucille-Kenny Rogers 1977
One of my grandma's faves.

6148. No Surrender-Bruce Springsteen 1984
Doesn't do anything for me.

6147. Every Rose Has it's Thorn-Poison 1988
Not a fave of mine at all.

6146. Wildflower-Skylark 1973
I like this one. You don't hear it that much at all.

6145. Creep-TLC 1994
I like this one quite a bit actually

6144. When Love and Hate Collide-Def Leppard 1995
Couldn't really get into this one

6143. War (Live)-Bruce Springsteen 1984
Bruce's voice sounds too strained on this. Painful...

6142. (Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection-Nelson 1990
I'm guilty of loving this song when it came out. Now I have to wonder what drugs I was on.

6141. I Want You-Savage Garden 1997
No thanks

6159. Yeah, because it was put out just before Christmas.

6153. I thought so too until I heard his Family Man on the same album!

I remember hearing that one once or twice--it was ok, but it sure didn't sound like them!

6153. Yeah, you gotta hear it to know what I mean.

I'm gonna try to find it right now.

[Railyn]

6160. Velcro Fly-ZZ Top 1986
It's ok.

6159. My Hometown-Bruce Springsteen 1985/86
I like it simply for the fact that he sounds like he's singing about this area.

6158. Long, Long Way to Go-Phil Collins 1985
Not familiar.

6157. Rumble Seat-John Mellencamp 1986
Eh.

6156. Walking on the Moon-Police 1979
I like it. It's not spectacular, but it's good.

6155. War-Edwin Starr 1970
Yes, it is annoying.

6154. Respect Yourself-Staple Singers 1971
The only version I know is Bruce's and it sucks.

6153. Big Love-Fleetwood Mac 1987
I like this song.

6152. Shattered Dreams-Johnny Hates Jazz 1988
Got very tired of it.

6151. Live to Tell-Madonna 1986
One of the few of hers I like.

6150. Bad Man-Bad Company 1988 (Previous ranking 4372)
Not familiar.

6149. Lucille-Kenny Rogers 1977
I used to think he was saying "400 children and a frog in the field".

6148. No Surrender-Bruce Springsteen 1984
Not familiar.

6147. Every Rose Has it's Thorn-Poison 1988
Just another hair metal band trying to sound sincere. I liked "Something To Believe In" much better.

6146. Wildflower-Skylark 1973
Eh.

6145. Creep-TLC 1994
I like Radiohead's better. Really didn't like TLC.

6144. When Love and Hate Collide-Def Leppard 1995 (Previous ranking 5042)
Not familiar. Stopped liking them after the accident - all songs/videos/etc. were identical.

6143. War (Live)-Bruce Springsteen 1984
Not any less annoying by Bruce.

6142. (Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection-Nelson 1990
Never understood that myself. I do like the song somewhat.

6141. I Want You-Savage Garden 1997 (Previous ranking 4979)
My mom's into these people -SNOOZE!
