His voice would have done better with a blues band as opposed to Hair Metal, solidified by the fact that 'Gypsy Road' - their best tune IMO - is the bluesiest one they have in their discography.

Agreed on the blues. His solo album The Way Life Goes is good. Bluesy swampy yet hard rock. Here is "Solid Ground"



Cinderella has a bluesier song than "Gypsy Road" check out "Shelter Me"

 
Great/good/ok 13

Whole lotta 2nd/3rd singles that weren't good and quickly forgotten

13 21 STARSHIP - NOTHING’S GONNA STOP US NOW
I guessed this

01 01 BON JOVI - LIVIN’ ON A PRAYER
At least one (but probably both) of the others picked this.
 
CORRECT ORDER
I only forgot about one of them. Not bad for an 87 countdown.

Bangles "Walk Like An Egyptian" peak 1/10
Greg Abbott "Shake You Down" #58
Billy Vera "At This Moment" #28
Madonna "Open Your Heart" #27
Bon Jovi "Living On A Prayer" #1
Huey Lewis "Jacob's Ladder" #2
Club Nouveau "Lean On Me" #12
Starship "Nothing's Gonna Stop" #13
Aretha/George "I Knew You Were Waiting" #31
Cutting Crew "I Just Died" #80
U2 "With Or Without You" peak 5/16
Kim Wilde "You Keep Me Hanging On" peak 6/6

green: my candidates
white: on my list and the hot 100
brown: on the hot 100 but missing from my list
orange: on my list but not on hot 100
 
#91 Paul Simon "The Boy In The Bubble"
#94 Lionel Richie "Deep River Woman"

Couple of surprises in that list.
