THE CHI-LITES "i forgot to say i love you till im gone" b/w "i lied" 1974

JOBOXERS "just got lucky" b/w "forget me love" 1983
UK new-wave band,vocalist comes from Ohio though..

MADONNA "like a virgin" b/w "stay" 1984
ive gone off Madonna over the last few years, but this "a" side has stood up okay for my ears...
"b" side is a crap track, but at least its a song and not an instrumental!
single was a #1 hit here

KISS "sure know something" b/w "dirty livin' " 1979
one of KISS' "best "a" sides IMO...
its pop and slightly dance'disco-ish i guess...
love the video,it beats me how one ot he most visual band's on the planet couldnt survive and score hits in the MTV era..
"b" side is a Peter Criss rocker which also comes off the Dynasty album
single topped out at #5 here back in the day

"a" side, love it...its BJ
"b" side, my least favourite track off that album(apart from that one that has a french title!
single peaked at #10 here...

PETER & GORDON "a world without love" b/w "if i were you" 1964
UK duo who had a handful of hits in the mid 1960s, this was their first single,
"a" side was written by Lennon/McCartney so it was always going to be a hit...
"b" side is okay also, in a similar vein to the "A" side...
single reached #2 on the singles charts in australia
