5820. Riders on the Storm-Doors 1971
My favorite Doors song. Love the "storm" sound effects.


5817. I'm Free (Heaven Helps the Man)-Kenny Loggins 1984
This is probably my favorite song from that soundtrack.

5816. Hello Again-Cars 1984
My favorite song from Heartbeat City. I was disappointed that it was left off that greatest hits collection.

Boy, lots of your faves here!

I like this movie, but I remember them playing it over news footage of people escaping from that nut who shot up a McDonald's in (I think) California. I always see those images when I hear the song.

5802. Cruisin'-Smokey Robinson 1979/80
I like this one. I liked the duet purely for Huey.

5817. Get out of here-they really did that??

5802. Was that with Gwenyth?

[KittyKat - RIP Luciano]

5820. Riders on the Storm-Doors 1971
Hate it. I just don't get why the Doors were so popular. Their only decent song to me is "Light My Fire" and even then I like Jose Feliciano's version better.

5819. Footloose-Kenny Loggins 1984
I like his earlier stuff better too, but I can't help but like this song and this movie

5818. Dedicated to the One I Love-Shirelles 1959/61
The Shirelles definitely deserve a spot in the Hall, but as for this song, I like the Mamas & the Papas version better.

5817. I'm Free (Heaven Helps the Man)-Kenny Loggins 1984
Another song that I'm not ashamed to say that I like a lot.

5816. Hello Again-Cars 1984
I liked this one better than You Might Think.

5815. We Are the World-U.S.A. For Africa 1985
Served a purpose but really dated and cheesy now.

5814. I Turn to You-Christina Aguilera 1999/00
Oy. No comment. I do like her song "Beautiful" though.

5813. I'm Every Woman-Chaka Khan 1978
I don't remember this being used in a commercial but it has been covered about a million times. The original is still the best!

5812. Shot Gun-Jr. Walker & the Allstars 1965
One of my dad's favorite.

5811. Still Cruisin'-Beach Boys 1989
Uggh...

5810. Uninvited-Alanis Morrissette 1998
I thought this was very pretty the first but now I think it's too mellow.

5809. Will You Be There?-Michael Jackson 1993
I don't know this one

5808. Breathless-Jerry Lee Lewis 1958
Typical oldie. Typically dated.

5807. Turn to You-Go-Go's 1984
One of my faves from them actually.

5806. He's a Rebel-Crystals 1962
Another track that's very corny and dated to me

5805. Real Good Man-Tim McGraw 2003 (New addition)
Not familiar with this track

5804. Magical Mystery Tour-Cheap Trick 1991
I've never heard this cover

5803. London Calling-The Clash 1979
Brilliant! A classic.

5802. Cruisin'-Smokey Robinson 1979/80
This was a nice little comeback for Smokey. I love the cover version by Huey Lewis and Gwyneth Paltrow.

5801. Talking Back to the Night-Steve Winwood 1982/88
Ok, but not his best IMO.

[kathyb]

Riders on the Storm--You hit the nail on the head, Sat. "Dreary" is the perfect word for it. I can't stand this song.

Footloose--Used to listen to this soundtrack all the time. Good tune. Upbeat, catchy, danceable.

Dedicated to the One I Love--Not sure if I've heard this version or not.

I'm Free--Also like this song a lot.

Hello Again--I'm sure I'd know it if I heard it, but right now all I can think of is Neil Diamond's song of the same name. LOL!

We Are the World--It was ok for its time. I remember the comedian Kevin Meaney doing a hilarious parody of this where he was doing impressions of some of the singers. Too funny! I also remember Bette Midler on some talk show (The Tonight Show, probably) talking about being invited to sing on the record, but she didn't get a solo part, and when the picture was being taken for the album cover, they stood her on the end next to LaToya Jackson, and Bette was almost cut out of the picture, cuz LaToya's hair took up too much room! LMAO!

I Turn to You--I actually think Christina has a great voice. Too bad she had to scuzz up her image to sell records. I guess talent alone doesn't count anymore.

I'm Every Woman--Well, I AM every woman, so I can relate.

Shot Gun--Sick of it.

Still Cruisin'--Is that the sequel to Smokey's song? Anyway, I don't know it.

Uninvited--Love this one. Kinda eerie and creepy, very different than most of the stuff Alanis did.

Will You Be There--Did Michael "Free Willy" while he was writing this? Yeah, that was lame, I know.

Breathless--Not bad. Not one you hear on the radio much.


Turn To You--Don't think I remember it.

He's a Rebel--Pretty good. Another one ya don't hear too often anymore.

Real Good Man--Like the song. Hate the video. I'd like the song better though, if someone else sang it.

Magical Mystery Tour--Don't think I know this version.

London Calling--Good song. Haven't heard it in a long time.

Crusin'--Never liked it by Smokey, but I have to say I do like Huey Lewis and Gwyneth Paltrow's version. (Did I really say that?)

Talking Back to the Night--Don't know it.

5820. Riders on the Storm-Doors 1971
First knew this from my oldest brother's Doors tapes. Still great.

5819. Footloose-Kenny Loggins 1984
His best 80's movie cheese!

5818. Dedicated to the One I Love-Shirelles 1959/61
Not in the Hall? I'm appalled. The girl group that really started in the rock era BIG. And I love this tune.

5817. I'm Free (Heaven Helps the Man)-Kenny Loggins 1984
This never gets played enough. Great memories between middle and high school. Should burn or buy this soon.

5816. Hello Again-Cars 1984
I kinda got sick of it, but I can take it today.

5815. We Are the World-U.S.A. For Africa 1985
I will always love this. PERIOD.

5814. I Turn to You-Christina Aguilera 1999/00
My all-time fave of hers. Beautiful tune. Originally done by All-4-One on the Space Jam soundtrack, typical Diane Warren ballad like Celine Dion's "Because you loved me".

5813. I'm Every Woman-Chaka Khan 1978
Another great one; fine songwriting from Ashford & Simpson, and I prefer it today to Whitney's remake.

5812. Shot Gun-Jr. Walker & the Allstars 1965
Oh YEAH!!!!! Dig that sax! RIP

5811. Still Cruisin'-Beach Boys 1989
Not bad, not great.

5810. Uninvited-Alanis Morrissette 1998
One tune of hers I CAN'T STAND!

5809. Will You Be There?-Michael Jackson 1993
Yes, I mind. Both my mom and I love this tune. Emotional talk at the end.

5808. Breathless-Jerry Lee Lewis 1958
Pretty great, but not quite up to par with his 2 biggest.

5807. Turn to You-Go-Go's 1984
This also doesn't get played anymore. IIRC, this rocks!

5806. He's a Rebel-Crystals 1962
Phil Spector could do no wrong----then.

5805. Real Good Man-Tim McGraw 2003 (New addition)
Sorry, I've tended to ignore recent country music, even by Tim.

5804. Magical Mystery Tour-Cheap Trick 1991
LOVE this! GREAT remake! Their new track for the MUST-HAVE greatest hits.

5803. London Calling-The Clash 1979
All right.

5802. Cruisin'-Smokey Robinson 1979/80
Huey and Gwyneth, EAT YOUR HEART OUT! Man, I LOVE this, especially the album version.

5801. Talking Back to the Night-Steve Winwood 1982/88
Yup, the original's better, and FAR less played.

I think I may be wrong. I think they're already in.

Yeah, what was with the ENTIRE Jackson family being on that?? Was Joe there beating up people as well?
