Robert Palmer - "She Makes My Day"
I'll come back with more
Thanks, I'll look those ones up.
I'd be tempted to add Shiver by Coldplay, Come Back Around by Feeder, and maybe Just Looking by Stereophonics.
The Tubes - Don't Wanna Wait Anymore (amazing song - why Pondlife or Blue haven't dug this one out for a shameless re-record is anyone's guess)
Heart - Wait For An Answer (5 key changes in one song and utterly overblown pomp - marvellous stuff)
Magnum - When The World Comes Down (cracking tune - makes you want to wave your hand theatrically just like Bob Catley)
John Waite - Missing You
Cutting Crew - I just died in your arms tonight
Mr Mister - Broken Wings
Toto - 'Hold the Line' & 'I Won't hold you back'
Bon Jovi - 'Never say Goodbye' & 'I'd Die for you'
Heart - 'These Dreams' & 'Alone'
Richard Marx - Right here waiting
Foreigner - Waiting for a girl like you
Chicago - Hard to say I'm sorry
Meatloaf - Two out of three aint bad
Queen - 'Save Me', - 'Who wants to live forever' & 'Las palabras de Amor'
Pat Benatar - Fire and Ice (What a voice!!!)
Bob Seger - We've got tonight (The original - so-o-o-o much better than that Lulu & Ronan tripe)
Fleetwood Mac - Dreams (The original - way better than The Corrs)
Probs lots more later - when I've had a bit of a think.
Pity it's so crap & annoying
Just to let you know I have completed the first CD, but as there have been so many great suggestions I am going to make a second one at the weekend! Maybe even a third.
In case anyone's interested the first cd was as follows:
1- Aerosmith- I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing
2- Meatloaf- I Would Do Anything For Love
3- Wet Wet Wet- Love Is All Around.
4- Sinead O'Connor- Nothing Compares.
5- J Lennon- Imagine.
6- Bryan Adams- Everything I Do
7- M Jackson- Earth Song
8- U2- The One.
9- Beatles- Something.
10- Bon Jovi- Always.
11- Heart- Alone
12- Whitesnake- Is This Love?
13- Starship- Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now.
14- REM- Everybody Hurts
15- The Cars- Drive
For anyone who has noticed that there where a lot more good songs on the original list that weren't included in the final copy, it's not because I have dropped them they will be featuring on one of the other cds!
Reminds me of my teenage years, and always being left alone at the side of the dance floor when the 'slow songs' came on. Still, happily married now to a woman that has always been fully aware of the fact that I can't dance - managed to fake it at our wedding, though.
Wo-woah-wo!!! I was going to suggest the exact same song but you beat me to it.
That Tubes song you suggested, is that the one that goes: 'We could be the last two on Earth etc? If so, you made some fine suggestions.
Peter Cetera - Glory of Love (sorry but Karate Kid rooooooooooled!)
Mister Mister - Broken Wings
REO Speedwagon - I can't fight this feeling anymore
Heart - These Dreams
Berlin - Take my Breath Away
Wow, I really am that old
Metallica - Mama Said.
Def Leppard - Love Bites.
Breed77 - The River.
SugarComa - Zero Star.
Stone Sour - Bother.
Seether - Fine Again.

However, if you get yourself an iPod, you'll not need to worry about doing CDs, as you'll have everything with you anyway

Marillion - Kayleigh
Gary Moore - Still got the Blues
Phil Collins - In the air tonight
