We have the same #1, I’d squeeze in “Cop ‘N Blow” as my number two.
Fantastic list and music.
Honorable mention to “Little Runaway” - a Stone City Band favorite.

Thanks for these lists @sotoalfred.bsky.social
Exceptional list, wow!!
I’d have swapped T-Connection, Andrea True, and/or Brass Construction for Rod and Dr. Buzzard, but I’m splitting hairs.
Surreal that ABBA and KC & the Sunshine Band never had a #1 on that chart.
Love the Cerrone and BT Express nods!!
Anyone else have fun big hair 80s memories?
That’s me in back with the frosted perm. Haha!
No mean comments please, life is hard enough.
She reappeared in 2024 with the song “Young Lion” on the ‘Transa: Select’ compilation album. It’s a song sung to her son Isaak - powerful, delicate, emotional - it brought me to tears.

“When I’m near you I’m like a honey bee…
You know I want your honey but you keep on teasing me”
Shoo-be-do-wop!
Totally forgot this song.
The Sylvers had some exceptional funk tracks sprinkled on their albums, too.

…”Thank you for not asking us about bloody “Blue Monday”!”
Top 10 album of all time in my book.
A life highlight for me - I interviewed Bernard and Stephen in April, 1989, on the Technique tour. I was given 30 minutes.
I was so in awe of that album, every question I asked was about it, and they kept me for 2 hours.
At the end, Bernard put me in kind of a cool headlock and said in my ear…
Giallo twinning today - I’m finally watching ‘The Fifth Cord’ as we speak. Adding Night of the Devils to my “to watch” list.

Happy New Year, looking forward to the music joy you serve up this year!

I can’t get enough of that Sweet song, such a floor burner! Funk yes!
The Isley Brothers and Double Exposure songs deserved so much more success, both have been on repeat for years in my house. Fantastic list!
The hat holder is very practical. And I thought I was the only person keeping a tattered and worn bowling pin on my nightstand. Well, I never!
It’s basically a horror movie where the fire is Jason.
I thought I was the only one! I saw this at a drive-in with my parents at 6 years old, and had horrible nightmares for years that our house would catch fire.

A mix of Italian and Dutch horror with a dash of exploitation and Eddie this week.
