Glad you enjoyed it, Bill. I'm a huge fan of Causing a Commotion too. It's in a dead heat with Into the Groove for my favourite Madonna track! Both have killer Bray middle 8s 👌

Nick Kamen | Each Time You Break My Heart

A bit of Stephen Bray magic. One of the greatest pop songs I've ever heard.

After all the pain
The twist in my life starts healing
Just to twist again 🎶

I meant it was more difficult as they are not kept in an easy to search list. Like looking for songs from 1995 for example! I've got loads in my head but worried I'll miss some as usual 🤣

Started making notes as it's not quite as easy to search for this one!

Perfect! Thanks James. It came to me whilst at the Divine Comedy gig the other night. Generation Sex and A Lady of a Certain Age are real contenders!

Have I invented a strings challenge in my head, or is it on the way? 🤔

🏆🥇1 | On Top

Coming out On Top of the list is this synth-heavy track from the debut. When people talk about how only the first half of Hot Fuss has great songs, I assume their views can't be trusted 🤣

a-ha | Hunting High and Low

It's been a constant in my top 10 songs for 40 years. Some people think they only did Take On Me 🤷🏻‍♂️
