gonna break my post down into segments, see how that works.
part 1
Good 12
Okay 8
Bad 20
12 ain't bad for 1982 countdown. Exact same countdown two years ago. My old comments. Plus, my old comments about six of these songs from November of last year.
35. I GET EXCITED – RICK SPRINGFIELD
Shoulda named this "I Get Excited (About Jesse's Girl)". Verse guitar is basically the same thing.
29. MUSCLES – DIANA ROSS
Written by Michael Jackson? That would explain the lyric "I don't care if he's young or old, just make him beautiful."

part 5
so the reason i'm getting that error, discovered using process of elimination, is that the number 67 song this week (that won't make it to the top 40) is shakin by eddie money. if i type that in using the format i usually do, it gets rejected. don't know why the forum code doesn't like it, because i think it's a great song. maybe the code is so upset the money man didn't make the top 40 it's pulling a HAL moment.

Three of the songs in this week's countdown had something to do with magic
Mind reading
Casting spells, hypnotizing
Fire starting
Magically ended the Top 40 run for each band

Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
I am surprised Johnny Can't Read didn't make the top 40. Good tune.

Okay 13
Bad 21
40. LOVE WILL FIND A WAY - YES
Thanks to some internet meme (which I haven't seen), my son was introduced to Yes and is now a fan. The meme has the acoustic guitar lick from "Roundabout" in it.
29. HOURGLASS - SQUEEZE
Only Squeeze song I like. Fun video too, with the Dali-esque optical illusions and all.
16. DON'T MAKE ME WAIT FOR LOVE - KENNY G
Kenny's best moment is in Katy Perry's TGIF, which (despite being a meh song) is an awesome video.
12. I'VE HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE - BILL MEDLEY AND JENNIFER WARNES
11. IT'S A SIN - PET SHOP BOYS
Just redone by the metal band Ghost. And done well.
5. CASANOVA - LEVERT
Uh oh, here's the birth of New Jack Swing.
#61 Hooters "Satellite"
I've been on a little bit of a Hooters tear lately, especially "Day By Day". Not sure why I'm suddenly listening to them now. I never listened to them back in the day.
Will never reach the top 40
#48 Starship "Beat Patrol"
#51 Anita Baker "No One In The World"
#57 Wendy & Lisa "Waterfall"
#61 Hooters "Satellite"
#65 Kiss "Crazy Crazy Nights"
#70 Pink Floyd "Learning To Fly"
#81 Living In A Box "So The Story Goes"
#82 Sammy Hagar "Eagles Fly"
#86 Great White "Rock Me"
#90 Terence Trent D'Arby "If You Let Me Stay"
#99 Donna Summer "Dinner With Gershwin"

I thought learning to fly was more popular but maybe on rock radio.

Yep Floyd's "Fly" peaked at #1 on the Rock Chart.
I used to listen to that whole album back in the day between Yes Big Generator, Aerosmith Permanent Vacation, Def Leppard Hysteria and Whitesnake Whitesnake all the time.

Agreed. At first I was a little disappointed because it was so true to the original. But the more I listened to it, the more it grew on me.
I was trying to get my band to cover it a couple years ago but couldn't get them on board.
