June 2, 200916 yr 1 Smokey Robinson - Being With You ............................ boring number one but hearing it does remind me of this time in 1981 2 Adam & The Ants - Stand And Deliver ........................ awful beyond belief 3 Shakin' Stevens - You Drive Me Crazy 4 Kate Robbins & Beyond - More Than In Love .............. Crossroads was responsible for this dirge charting 5 The Jam - Funeral Pyre ............................................. underrated Jam single, a lot darker than some of their more commercial sounding singles 6 Michael Jackson - One Day In Your Life 7 Champaign - How 'Bout Us 8 Kim Wilde - Chequered Love ..................................... I love Kim's singles from 1981, 4 great pop songs 9 Toyah - I Want To Be Free 10 Star sound - Stars On 45 ........................................ the song that kick started the medley craze in 1981 11 Hazel O'Connor - Will You ....................................... loved this song, especially the 2 minute sax outro 12 Ten Pole Tudor - Swords Of A Thousand Men 13 Kim Carnes - Bette Davis Eyes ............................... good song with a US take on New Romantics in the video 14 Enigma - Ain't No Stopping ..................................... another medley song though not in the Stars On 45 style with that awful monotonous drum machine. 15 Odyssey - Going Back To My Roots ......................... great disco / club song 16 Vangelis - Chariots Of Fire 17 George Harrison - All Those Years Ago .................... George's tribute to John. OK 18 REO Speed wagon - Keep On Loving You 19 The Human League - The Sound Of The Crowd ........ and the song that kick started the League's period of success. Not bad. 20 UB40 - Don't Let It Pass You By / Don't Slow Down 21 Tottenham Hotspur FA Cup Final Squad - Ossie's Dream (Spurs Are On Their Way To Wembley) ........... possibly one of the worst football songs and there's lots of competition... 22 The Stray Cats - Stray Cat Strut ............................. great moody song 23 Siouxsie & The Banshees - Spellbound ..................... :thumbup: I love this song, one of my all time fave songs, definitely in the top 10. John McGeogh's guitar work is superb 24 Ultravox - All Stood Still .......................................... not bad. Final single from the Vienna album 25 The Undertones - It's Going To Happen .................... their last top 40 hit. A different, more mature, sound from them. 26 The Teardrop Explodes - Treason (It's Just A Story) ..... very good song 27 Sheena Easton - When He Shines 28 Kool & The Gang - Take It To The Top 29 Coast To Coast - Let's Jump The Broomstick 30 Ennio Morricone - Chi Mai (Theme From 'Life And Times Of David Lloyd George') .............. I do love this instrumental. 31 Madness - Grey Day ................................ more sophisticated sound from Madness, good song 32 Quincy Jones - Al No Corrida (I-No-Ko-Ree-Da) 33 Phil Collins - If Leaving Me Is Easy 34 Imagination - Body Talk ........................ I remember laughing the first time I saw Imagination on TOTP. Awful song. 35 Bucks Fizz - Piece Of The Action 36 Grover Washington Jr - Just The Two Of Us ................. good song that Will Smith slaughtered a decade ago 37 Squeeze - Is That Love .................... good song 38 Dead Kennedys - Too Drunk To F**k ........................ banned by Radio 1 so never got played on the top 40. Not a very good song anyway 39 The Polecats - Rockabilly Guy 40 Red Sovine - Teddy Bear ............................ possibly the worst top 5 hit of all time. Every disaster known to man happens to the little boy in this song. Has to be heard to be believed.
