1. Tiny Dancer Elton John
2. The Girl From Ipanema Stan Getz & Astrud Gilberto
3. Sister Christian Night Ranger
While The Girl Ipanema is a classic bossa nova song, it has a certain kitsch value because of the various covers of it over the years.

In no particular order:
1. What a Feeling - Irene Cara
2. Mandy - Barry Manilow
3. Last Christmas - Wham
4. She's Like the Wind - Patrick Swayze
5. Eternal Flame - The Bangles
I only like most of these songs because I'm a fan of the 80's and because they're part of my childhood memory.

Crank up the bass and smoke those speakers!
Dancing Queen by Abba
Memories of high school ...
Electric Avenue by Eddy Grant
I worked at an ambulance factory in St. Paul in the early 1980's. Everyone on the assembly line would break into song and dance whenever this came on the radio ...
Funkytown by Lipps, Inc.
A one hit wonder by a Twin Cities group whose lead singer worked for the Minneapolis Police Dept.

Pop classics all........just file under 'Other' to avoid small children laughing at you in the street.....
Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals ... except the weasel.
This reminds me of this story a guy told me from the time he lived in Washington DC. He claims to have brought Air Supply to his appartment, so they can perform for his then girlfriend on their anniversary. Of course, none of us believe that story.

Chesney Hawkes - I Am The One And Only
Tiffany - I Think Were Alone Now
This has to be my all time favourite. The video is very powerful, emotional and in my eyes, one of the greatest ever, too bad you dont see anything like this anymore..

Quoting Superfly (Reply 16): Wham - Make It Big
This a great album. I don't care what anyone says.
Air Supply - Lost In Love
Dang 'Fly! We agree yet again! I *loved* Make It Big. There are not many songs better than Everything She Wants. And I loved Air Supply when I was about 12. I think I could still sing all the songs on that album.
My guilty pleasures:
1. Spice Girls - Wannabe
2. Anything Milli Vanilli
3. Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby
4. Kenny Rogers - Ruby Don't Take Your Love to Town
