17: TOUCH OF GREY – THE GRATEFUL DEAD

I 'wheel' get by.

16: BAD – MICHAEL JACKSON

I'll take the #16. My second-best candidate. Better than I thought I was gonna do.

12: I JUST CAN’T STOP LOVING YOU – MICHAEL JACKSON & SIEDAH GARRETT

My friend's kid's guess

1: DIDN’T WE ALMOST HAVE IT ALL – WHITNEY HOUSTON

My friend's old room mate's guess.

#67 Yello "Oh Yeah"
#87 Kiss "Crazy Crazy Nights"
#95 Eddie Money "We Should Be Sleeping"
#96 38 Special "Back To Paradise"

I like 'em, but not surprised they didn't make the 40.

Won't get into the top 40
#42 Other Ones "We Are What We Are"
#48 Donna Summer "Dinner With Gershwin"
#49 Noel "Silent Morning"

#98 Pepsi & Shirlie "Heartache"
#100 Pointer Sisters "Be There"
 
I didn't hear "We Should Be Sleeping" until I bought his 1990 Greatest Hits CD. And I liked it right away. Same with "Stop Steppin On My Heart"

However, I woulda dropped "Peace In Our Time" and "Where's The Party? (Live)" (I always skipped them) and put "The Love In Your Eyes" and "Endless Nights" on there instead.
