Comments on Top 10 & what I like of remainder:

 

1. Shakin' Stevens - This Ole House - The other Welsh Elvis cover of the Rosemary Clooney classic seems to have dated very badly.

2. Kim Wilde - Kids In America - A classic new wave pop track

3. Tony Capstick-Carlton Main - Capstick Comes Home - dreadful twee novelty track

4. Stevie Wonder - Lately - A pretty good ballad

5. Bucks Fizz - Making Your Mind Up - Chicken in a basket generic Abba meets Brotherhood Of Man imitation. They went on to do much better.

6. Toyah - Four From Toyah (EP) - The lead track was the post Prog Rock/proto Marillion track It's A Mystery.

7. Roxy Music - Jealous Guy - For me this was a superior interpretation of the John Lennon Imagine album track.

8. Landscape - Einstein A Go-Go - A good slightly novelty new wave/new romantic track.

9. Coast To Coast - Do The Hucklebuck - A good old fashioned Rockabilly revival track.

10. Linx - Intuition - Future vocal coach to the stars David Grant's most famous song.

 

12. Hazel O'Connor - D-Days

13. Visage - Mind Of A Toy

14. The Who - You Better You Bet

15. Teardrop Explodes - Reward

16. Duran Duran - Planet Earth

17. Dave Stewart & Colin Blunstone - What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted

18. Adam & The Ants - Kings Of The Wild Frontier

22. Ultravox - Vienna

23. Jacksons - Can You Feel It

31. Sugar Minott - Good Thing Going

32. David Bowie - Up The Hill Backwards - More pop genius. The sarcastic lyrics were apparently a commentary on the public coverage of his divorce from Angela Bowie.

33. Ultravox - Slow Motion

37. Talking Heads - Once In A Lifetime

 

1. Shakin' Stevens - This Ole House - ???
