May 30, 200916 yr 1 (1) Madness - House Of Fun 2 (2) Adam Ant - Goody Two Shoes...it's ok, but at the time I hated it, mostly because my sister was obsessed with Adam Ant/Adam & The Ants 4 (3) Yazoo - Only You 5 (6) ABC - The Look Of Love 8 (12) Duran Duran - Hungry Like The Wolf 9 (7) PhD - I Won't Let You Down 11 (8) Patrice Rushen - Forget Me Nots :) 12 (14) Blondie - Island Of Lost Souls :) 15 (30) Charlene - I've Never Been To Me :) 16 (10) Joan Jett & The Blackhearts - I Love Rock N Roll :wub: 24 (35) Kid Creole & The Coconuts - I'm A Wonderful Thing Baby :) 30 (22) Simple Minds - Promised You A Miracle :)
May 30, 200916 yr I know & like: 1 (1) Madness - House Of Fun 2 (2) Adam Ant - Goody Two Shoes 3 (16) Soft Cell - Torch 4 (3) Yazoo - Only You 5 (6) ABC - The Look Of Love 6 (5) Tight Fit - Fantasy Island - One of my all time great guilty pleasures. I know this is naffer than naff, but this is a superb Abba pastiche; infinitely better than The Lion Sleeps Tonight. And I have not even mentioned the involvement of a certain pre Stock & Aitken era Pete Waterman or that his future third wife is the brunette in the group! :lol: 9yrxsuMGdDY 8 (12) Duran Duran - Hungry Like The Wolf 9 (7) PhD - I Won't Let You Down 11 (8) Patrice Rushen - Forget Me Nots 14 (17) Associates - Club Country 16 (10) Joan Jett & The Blackhearts - I Love Rock N Roll 19 (21) Genesis - 3 x 3 (EP) 20 (19) Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast 22 (37) Siouxsie & The Banshees - Fireworks 23 (18) Spandau Ballet - Instinction 25 (24) Japan - Cantonese Boy 27 (32) Echo & The Bunnymen - The Back Of Love 30 (22) Simple Minds - Promised You A Miracle 34 (34) New Order - Temptation
May 30, 200916 yr 1 (1) Madness - House Of Fun ............................................ 2 (2) Adam Ant - Goody Two Shoes ................................... :) 3 (16) Soft Cell - Torch ..................................................... 4 (3) Yazoo - Only You ...................................................... and the B side (Situation) is possibly even better 5 (6) ABC - The Look Of Love ............................................ :) 6 (5) Tight Fit - Fantasy Island ........................................... as thisispop says, a guilty pleasure. I saw them doing a PA in a club in Sunderland around this time in 1982. 7 (9) Junior - Mama Used To Say 8 (12) Duran Duran - Hungry Like The Wolf ........................ OK, but this was the song that seemed to set off Duran fever among the teen girls and lost them a few male fans 9 (7) PhD - I Won't Let You Down 10 (4) Nicole - A Little Peace 11 (8) Patrice Rushen - Forget Me Nots .............................. 12 (14) Blondie - Island Of Lost Souls ............................... :puke2: Blondie really had lost their way by now and this was dreadful 13 (11) Hot Chocolate - Girl Crazy 14 (17) Associates - Club Country .................................... :) 15 (30) Charlene - I've Never Been To Me 16 (10) Joan Jett & The Blackhearts - I Love Rock N Roll 17 (15) Depeche Mode - The Meaning Of Love 18 (13) Scotland World Cup Squad - We Have A Dream 19 (21) Genesis - 3 x 3 (EP) 20 (19) Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast ............... :) 21 (28) Fun Boy Three - The Telephone Always Rings 22 (37) Siouxsie & The Banshees - Fireworks ................... I couldn't get into the new Siouxsie sound at the time but grew to like this 23 (18) Spandau Ballet - Instinction 24 (35) Kid Creole & The Coconuts - I'm A Wonderful Thing Baby 25 (24) Japan - Cantonese Boy 26 (20) Rocky Sharpe & The Replays - Shout Shout (Knock Yourself Out) 27 (32) Echo & The Bunnymen - The Back Of Love ........... :) 28 (33) Toyah - Brave New World 29 (--) Diana Ross - Work That Body 30 (22) Simple Minds - Promised You A Miracle ................ :) 31 (29) UB40 - Love Is All Is Alright ............................... it was the sheer awfulness and poor performance of songs like this that set UB40 on their cover versions route 32 (27) Tottenham Hotspur FA Cup Final Squad - Tottenham Tottenham 33 (39) Prelude - After The Goldrush 34 (34) New Order - Temptation 35 (31) Candi Staton - Suspicious Minds 36 (36) Altered Images - Pinky Blue ............................... I bought this but it was one twee song too many for the Images. In hindsight, this song was awful. 37 (26) England World Cup Squad - This Time (We'll Get It Right)/England We'll Fly The Flag 38 (--) Bow Wow Wow - I Want Candy 39 (23) Bananarama & Fun Boy Three - Really Saying Something 40 (25) Paul McCartney with Stevie Wonder - Ebony & Ivory
