I found Spanish Eddie’s beat very similar to Madonna’s Dress You Up but not as melodic. It’s still fun but just midpoint when matched against Laura’s stronger songs.
I saw Debbie Harry live in 2006 and she sang French Kissin’ and I Want That Man and I couldn’t understand for the life of me why she wasn’t singing any Blondie songs, d’oh! I guess performing as Debbie Harry negates Blondie? so yea not even one Blondie tune to be heard. It was mildly disappointing.

Hanging on to a spot in the top half is another artist that we ranked just once before in Lost Hits. A pair of posters will lose their #3 song here.

Unlike the Time, this next artist has appeared quite frequently in Lost Hits. This song's lone top 10 isn't a very high one but both of its bottom 10s are bottom 5s.

30. Ribbon in the Sky - Stevie Wonder This piano ballad failed to impress me in any way, shape or form. Might as well tie that ribbon around my neck and drain the life out of me. (goes and looks for Master Blaster on youtube) 29. Love x Love - George BensonPretty nice R&B vibe for that early 80's style. Sounds and falls exactly where it should. 28. The Finest - The S.O.S. BandProbably one of my favorite R&B songs featured on this RD. This is how most R&B jams started sounding like in the mide 80's. The percussion in the intros was pretty rehashed, but it could be used in both slower and faster R&B jams. For example Ready For The World used those percussion sounds in all thier songs and still sounded great. 27. Graceland - Paul SimonNeeds the grace of Chevy Chase lip syncing 26. French Kissin' - Debbie HarryA slower type song for Blondie, but it also worked for "The Tide Is High" so why not? 25. Cool - The Time C-O-O-L. well you all just killed that. Out of all the songs you all just mentioned this is one that shows up. This rides on a mean funk bassline. Very much like the same one used in Jesse Johnson's solo debut single "Be Your Man". Ayway for me The Time did nothing but release master pieces. Especially these delicious sing along funky grooves that wouldn't sound out of place in an adult version of Seseame Street. Whaha! 24. Don't Ask Me Why - Billy JoelThis is anything, but "It's Still Rock and Roll To Me" to me. 'nuff said. 23. Taken In - Mike + The MechanicsI was still riding high from the two previous singles from this album, when this third one was released. Not usually my prefrred style, but if you listen to this with Sophistipop ears it sounds just fine. 22. Walking Down Your Street - The BanglesThis was alright. Nice melody and all. I think it would have gone top 10 with Susanna on vocals. 21. Time Out of Mind - Steely DanNot a band that usually entices me. This Proggy oriented jazzy sound , which I call POJ sound isn't my cup o tea. and with that out of the way.... I have 5 top 10's left and one tanker. Let's drown out that culprit tomorrow night.

Also guys I can't express enough how those radio edits don't do dick of justice for The Time. Why even bother if you can't hang for more than 3 mins? Do yourself a favor and hitch a ride on this extended version of the song instead.

This next song was able to finish the rankdown strong and on a high note at its best position. We've seen this artist a couple of other times in Lost Hits. Although it only received a single bottom 10, that ranking is a rather low one.
