Just about every top 40 single from 1980 to 1987 except anything from Night Ranger or 99 Luftballons by Nena, Shakedown by Bob Seger or Heart & Soul by T'Pau. I absolutely hated those songs, but liked pretty much everything else. Too many to mention.



orange head, Sweet Dreams was the Eurythmics, not Annie Lennox solo.

Brian, In The Air Tonight was a Phil Collins solo single, not Genesis.

(yes, I'm being technical.)

Justin Timberlake could take some pointers from Phil, and even Beyonce. Since Justin thinks he's too hot to go back to N'Sync because he had one hit album.
