I don't recognize particular fonts. But I recognize when someone spells his last name Segar.

That's why once I post my guesses, I don't come back to this thread. Don't wanna be swayed or tipped off in regards to the right answer.
Subjectively a OHW?

I don't like white blues either, and not a fan of Clapton in general, and he's done and said some bad stuff, but I don't hate him with this much passion. What's your beef with ol' slo' hand?
For years, there's been a guy on the local music scene (internet radio host, etc) named Gerg Anidem. I always thought it was odd. Then one day one of his kids posted a happy birthday on his FB page. Last name: Medina. I finally figured out Gerg Anidem is just Greg Medina backwards. Only took me like 8 years? I'm a little slow evidently...
If you've shared it, I've forgotten it.
Vandenberg was led by – and named for – guitarist Adrian Vandenberg. He was born Adriaan van den Berg in Enschede, Overijssel, The Netherlands.
Here is the song that is considered to be the first power ballad. It was written by by Dennis DeYoung for his wife, Suzanne Feusi and was released as a single in September 1973 on Wooden Nickel Records. It was a hit in the Chicago area but not nationally. Wooden Nickel re-released the single in November 1974 and it wound up reaching #6 on the Hot 100 in March 1975. RCA, which distributed Wooden Nickel, re-issued the song in November 1975 as part of their "Gold Standard" series.

Yes, I certainly do notice. I just don't have the names of the fonts memorized. Nor did I realize that you always use that font.
I guess the answer to my question is that both of you made the same odd spelling error. I would expect to perhaps see Seeger. But also, I assumed these lists were copied & pasted, not retyped (incorrectly).
I think you've answered your own question.
Good 21
Okay 3
Bad 16
31. "My Kind of Lady" - Supertramp
When this came on, my thought was "Who the hell is this and what decade did they think it was?"
26. "You And I" - Eddie Rabbit and Crystal Gayle
Nina called this "You And Me". Are they for real? Or just pulling our legs?
07. "We've Got Tonight" - Kenny Rogers and Sheena Easton
01. "Billie Jean" - Michael Jackson
All three of us chose this one. Thankfully I didn't go with "Africa", which was down at #99.
#46 Weather Girls "It's Raining Men"
#52 Clash "Should I Stay Or Should I Go"
#60 J Geils Band "Land of a Thousand Dances"
#90 Wall Of Voodoo "Mexican Radio"
Always surprised to see these ones on the never-40 list.
#96 Gentle Persuasion "Please Mr Postman"
Two years ago I pointed out they have no Wikipedia page. Still don't have one.

So I did hear Nina call the song "You and Me". Wtf.
I'm surprised Shame on the Moon made it to #2. It's a good song and I like it, I just don't remember it as being that big of a radio hit. And it was kind of a throwback sound, didn't have all the keyboards and synth like the other songs of 1983.

I expected it to land around 30.
I'm surprised this didn't top 40.
I really like this song. I can see where it didn't make it to 40, but it's too bad in my book.
I would have thought this would have made it to 30 or 25. Bummer.
I thought this would have made it to 60 or 50.
You would have thought right! Enjoy some barbecued iguana to celebrate your rightness.
With regular airplay on MTV in their native United States, the song had moderate commercial success, peaking at No. 58 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It did better in other parts of the world, peaking at No. 18 in Canada, No. 21 in New Zealand and No. 33 in Australia. It also reached No. 64 in the UK.
Yep. Not a fan of his music to begin with. But then some of the stuff he's done in the past is pretty bad. And then these last couple years he's revealed himself to be a grade-A jagoff.
It's amazing how he can be so racist. You'd think that he'd have a better appreciation for the big picture.

It is just co-incidence. It goes to show perhaps it is Bob who is not spelling his name correctly.
I always use "Courier New" font for countdowns as it is fixed width and the numbers line up. I have no idea what the forum default font is.

This week's surprises. Thankful about #46 but why is it still played?
One of the regular sketches on the 1990-94 Fox series In Living Color was "Men On Film," with Blaine Edwards (Damon Wayans) and Antoine Merriweather (David Alan Grier) looking at movies "from a male point of view." It's Raining Men was the theme song.
You inspired me to make a page. It's under review which may take a while. I placed a preview below:
She didn't have the right material to breakthrough yet.
I had no idea this charted.
