H and Claire really .......... very Abba-ish. I reckon if this had been the first release off the album it would have been a monster.

Some comments.
You can knock the Rollers but they made happy, pop records.
Lobo had a fantastic voice and Boo was good too.
Unchained Melody was good in all versions (even Gareth Gates couldn't ruin it) but for me this just had the edge.
Merilee Rush didn't have the hit version of Angel but this sent goosebumps up my spine.
The Spicies best and I can picture myself sitting round the camp fire with Abba.
Good on you, Dorothy Squires. I was only a primary school kid but my mother kept playing this. Apparently, no-one would give her a recrding contract so she went out and set up this record herself on a low budget and although it never went beyond the top 30 it stayed in the charts for 6 months!!
Who says girls can't like football ? and I'm not a Johnny-come-lately. I've been supporting Chelsea since the mid-70s and the days of the old second division.
Love Cliff's Homeward from the Love Is Forever album which didn't sell well. He's in fine voice.
Music to get lost in with LeAnn and of course you associate with the super Con Air.
A bit of bop with the Quo and Whole Again proves the British public can still recognise a great record.
Star was the best of the Spicies solo efforts. Had it been released at a time other than Christmas could have been a \1.
In the wake of Abba, Roxette and Ace of Base kept up the Swedish reputation. Infectious.

Some interesting choices there rub
But I must interject regarding How Do I Live ....
the version in Con Air is sung by the vastly superior (IMHO) Trisha Yearwood
So there
Keep 'em coming

The Supremes did make some fantastic records post-Ross.
Even those who don't like him rate Some People and Radio 1 played it. And of course #37 - Al's favourite. Don't know what it is about SD, I'm not into religion but the old waltz time beat to this really grabbed me.
Wlderness is haunting and the guitar intro riveting. Only 2 Cliff in the top 30 though.
Kiki Dee had an amazing voice. This deserevd better.
Battlefield form Force Behind Power album - a throwback to the Supreme's days. EMI missed a monster here.
And they can lock me up if they want I don't care, Reach was just a slice of brilliant pure pop.
The Toy Dolls were totally manic. Sensational head banger.
