    2/10. Sorry. Bon Jovi. Just . . . no.

    Now for something on the complete opposite end of the spectrum.

    I didn't like it, but it was interesting. 3/10

    How about some one-hit-wonder 80's pop.

    Wang Chung had a couple hits though I think.

    I love the saxophone part in that song, 7/10

    Here's a poorly conceived "live" performance.

    I'll give it 6/10 for being sooo bad!

    Some of my favorite bands come out of Sweden. This is not one of them. But this is so horrible it has absolutely no redeemable features; a rare feat. 10/10.

    I'll continue this trend, also.

    That was painful, I couldn't get past 1 minute, 0/10

    It hasn't quite got the epic resonance of California Dreamin', has it? 4/10, out of sheer respect for Mama Cass's role in the Canyon scene.

    Incidentally, harking back a few, can I just opine that I Lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper is one of the best singles ever made, and probably the only twelve-inch re-mix I ever bought. The lyrics were written by Bob Calvert. Of Hawkwind. No, really.


    ....Coup de Ville to Illinois....... I'm not impressed by the sentiment, but you can't fault the groove

    Ya, it's alright, nothing too memorable though. 5/10

    I pretty much agree, I just picked that because it's the first Mama Cass video that popped up after a search, and Mama Cass was the only thing that came to mind when I ran out of weird videos.

    I'm not sure it's one of the best singles ever, haha. Sarah Brightman is something interesting too, she was the first person to perform the role of Christine in Phantom of the Opera as well. She had a pretty big hit with "Time to Say Goodbye" a few years back:

    It's my feeling that her career peaked with Trooper and it's been a dizzy plunge into middlebrow mediocrity ever since. I'd be nastier about her, but she was married to Andrew Lloyd-Webber, so she's suffered enough. 3/10

    This new frame of mine...

    I've heard that before, there's something interesting about it. 7.5/10

    Not bad. Not usually my kind of music, but I enjoyed it. 7/10.

    Not the worse thing I've ever heard, 6/10.

    I've always thought I should have paid more attention to Kate Bush than I did. 7/10


    She's on this one, too. I think PG's a bit over-rated, but he had some great moments.

    PG is way overrated, imo. Songs are way too repetitive. 5/10.
