Rough week for covers.

35 21 R.E.M. - STAND
I like R.E.M. just fine, but man do I hate this friggin' song.

34 - - WATERFRONT - CRY
This is a weird one that pops up every once in awhile, & I can never remember if I've heard it before. Like right now...no idea. I was so outta the Top 40 loop at this point.

33 37 THE OUTFIELD - VOICES OF BABYLON
I love this band, but at this point they made a "Hey, The Police aren't a thing anymore - let's be The Police" move. It worked...kinda.

32 - - NENEH CHERRY - BUFFALO STANCE
Here we begin the list of songs on this chart I actually like to one degree or another. The others :
24 26 HOWARD JONES - EVERLASTING LOVE
20 23 BOBBY BROWN - EVERY LITTLE STEP
18 22 GUNS N’ ROSES - PATIENCE
13 17 LIVING COLOUR - CULT OF PERSONALITY
10 04 FINE YOUNG CANNIBALS - SHE DRIVES ME CRAZY
03 08 JODY WATLEY - REAL LOVE
01 01 MADONNA - LIKE A PRAYER

25 29 LITA FORD (duet with Ozzy Osbourne) - CLOSE MY EYES FOREVER
Speaking of songs I hate...

30 36 ARETHA FRANKLIN AND ELTON JOHN - THROUGH THE STORM
29 31 TOMMY PAGE - A SHOULDER TO CRY ON
27 33 JIMMY HARNEN w/ SYNCH - WHERE ARE YOU NOW?
16 14 SWEET SENSATION (with Romeo J.D.) - SINCERELY YOURS
12 13 SA-FIRE - THINKING OF YOU
11 05 DEON ESTUS - HEAVEN HELP ME
I would have to literally bring these up on YouTube to confirm if I've ever heard them before. Will I? No.

Love their entire first album. Fantastic.

Hated their entire second album. Horrible.

Every album after that each had one song I liked.
'89: "Voices Of Babylon"
'90: "For You"
'92: "Closer To Me"
