Really like this one, so much so it's making the top 50 for me.
This was the off the 3rd of 4 Crowded House albums to come out from the late 80's into the 90's.
But it really brought them up another level, just a blend of catchy psychedelic pop I suppose?
Can never get enough of it.

Really brief 3 today to set us up for Christmas, merry Christmas everybody!
This was the 3rd single from Right Said Fred's debut album, presumably trying to cash in on the successful 'I'm Too Sexy'.
A solid jazzy pop number that I don't mind at all.

One of those ones you know but can't place, now I know I guess.
Don't mind this at all, Mr. Big being more of a hard rock/glam band, but this soft ballad was their biggest hit really, coming off their second album, solid.

Originally a duet back in the 50's for Mickey and Sylvia, this was a moderately successful single for English duo Everything But the Girl off a covers album.
I really like it, there's some Belle & Sebastian stylings in here (even if it predates them), real mellow folk pop.

Quite like this, alt folk rock sort of style from the Wonder Stuff off their EP of the same name.
They've showed up before supporting Vic Reeves on Dizzy and this is a really good track also, of a style I'm surprised has made it on here.
