Centerfield, John Fogerty, #44, 1985 Wow, I never realized that it never made the Top 40. I always include this song when thinking about my personal soundtrack of the 80's maybe because I'm a big baseball fan. Sounds like a grave injustice to me! |

Paradise By The Dashboard Light, Meatloaf, #39.
This song was big hit north of the border and hit #1 in my city.
It's currently the soundtrack of a Hyundai Canada TV ad and is stuck in my head due to seeing it multiple times per night. It's too bad that Meatloaf's pop singles success was much greater outside his home country(although his albums sold well). I definitely think that this song is top 5 material.

From a radio PD's perspective, this song's problem is that is was just too long. And if any of the three parts (to put in in the terms that the song was alluding to, the foreplay, the actual, ahem, act--Phil Rizzuto's voiceover, and the 'climax') are cut, it pretty much ruins the song. |

Deserved it's three weeks run at the top of the Dutch charts as full version single. |

Going back to my favorite band of all time, here are some top 40 songs by Chicago that should've at least made the top 20:
"Lowdown" (#35 in 1971)
"Questions 67 & 68" (#24 in 1971)
"Dialogue" (#24 in 1972)
"Another Rainy Day In New York City" (#32 in 1976)
"Love Me Tomorrow" (#22 in 1982)
"Chasin' The Wind" (#39 in 1991)

Baby Step Back, Gordon Lightfoot, #50, 1982 I remember that one. It sounded a lot like "Sundown." |

There were tons of diversities like that on the charts in 1982. |
