    Eight of them probably received pretty good airplay:
    "In The Air Tonight"
    "I Missed Again"
    "I Don't Care Anymore"
    "Don't Lose My Number"
    "Take Me Home"
    "We Said Hello Goodbye"
    "Something Happened On The Way To Heaven"
    "I Wish It Would Rain Down"

    The others are also worthwhile ... never said they were hits by whoever's definition. But they are excellent tracks IMO.

    If I were to recommend one for you, it would be "We Said Hello Goodbye." If you liked "Against All Odds," this one is written in a similar manner ... i.e., pretty stripped down with no guitars (Heh heh) and percussion is not a primary instrument in this one.



    Need some patience with this one ... no lyrics in the first minute-plus - almost has a Tony Banks flavor to it - but it sets the table perfectly. Consider giving it a shot ...

    Dick, IJAG didn't blast anyone with her post ... merely said what was honestly on her mind. Easy now ...

    BYM2, ball washing? When did this turn into a discussion about golf caddying? I think the Tiger Woods thread is still alive somewhere ...

    (The funny part is I STILL regard Phil Collins as the percussionist and contributing writer for some group ... forgot the name ... )

    Not blasting her. It's just that she seemed to be saying that since those songs weren't hits, they couldn't be great songs. I know she knows better than that.

    This made me laugh out loud.

    Dick: It was an observation. Wasn't saying Sam was wrong, or disagreeing. Just saying I'd never heard the songs. It wasn't part of the conversation, but a tangent off to the side.

    jesus.

    Seen Billy lately? You may not wanna do that. Looks to me like Billy could take you to where the good weed is.

    Why is the "jesus" necessary?

    I know that you and your crew think that every post I make is an out-of-control, meds-required tantrum, but it's not true.

    Sam, I think Two Hearts is a decent Phil Collins hit.

    Jesus is necessary to take away our sins, or something to that effect. At least that's what I was told.

    And it's Jesus. Not the Jesus. Moddy will get pissed.

    I thought it was part of the Grammy prayer for Whitney.

    Soon as she loses 50. Or maybe that will be the subject of the show. I remember her as being more than a little chunky.
