December 29, 201014 yr 01. (1) Pet Shop Boys - Always On My Mind Don't care for Elvis, but I really like PSB's version. 02. (8) The Pogues Featuring Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale Of New York Overplayed but up there with the greatest xmas songs. 03. (6) Comic Relief Presents Mel And Kim Performed By Kim Wilde And Mel Smith - Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree Gets played a lot considering this was very much novelty for it's time. 04. (2) Rick Astley - When I Fall In Love Erm no! 05. (4) Alison Moyet - Love Letters Don't know 06. (3) Michael Jackson - The Way You Make Me Feel IMO, anything post-Thriller is tat! 07.(20) Nat King Cole - When I Fall In Love {1987 re-issue} Nothing to do with Rick eh? 08.(19) Belinda Carlisle - Heaven Is A Place On Earth Great euphoric 80s classic! 09. (5) T'Pau - China In Your Hand You think it's ending... and then the middle sax comes in! Apparently Carol Decker was a super-duper bitch!! 10. (7) Shakin' Stevens - What Do You Want To Make Those Eyes At Me For Oh f*** off. And of the rest, I like 17.(11) Alexander O'Neal - Criticize 20.(25) New Order - Touched By The Hand Of God 28.(47) Krush - House Arrest 54.(63) George Michael - Faith 63.(49) Bananarama - Love In The First Degree 84.(RE) Pet Shop Boys - Rent

(5) T'Pau - China In Your Hand Does this count as a guilty pleasure, still listen to this occasionally 10.
