EXTRA: "Another Kind Of Love" - Hugh Cornwell
Singer for the Stranglers went solo in '88 & had this Modern Rock charter, but Spotify doesn't have it.

EXTRA: "Alice" (single mix w/ Ice-T) - Hugh Harris
I'm guessing most of you have never heard of this guy. The album version of this song (& the whole album) are on Spotify ... but it was a single mix which featured a young Ice-T that caught my ear back in 1989 & THAT version is not on Spotify (or YouTube either). I guess that makes this single a rare find.

EXTRA: "Move Any Mountain" (Landslide Vox remix) - The Shamen
Speaking of remix versions, this is the superior version of this song, imo. Again, the original is on Spotify, but sadly not this mix.

EXTRA: "Cubik" (Tommy Boy remix) - 808 State
And one last remix ... i've actually heard 3 very good versions of this song, but this is the one I heard first & the one I always come back to. For the shorter album version, you can find it on Spotify, but seek out this non-Spotify mix for your listening pleasure!

EXTRA: "(I Know) I'm Losing You" - UptownThis song has been covered so many times, but it was this relatively obscure Dallas outfit's version that struck my ear in 1983. I think Doc Indie Party Rock will really dig this one too.

EXTRA: "Devil's Johnson" - Ethyl Meatplow
The only song from this band on Spotify is "Queenie" via a compilation album. But don't overlook this sleazy early '90s ditty.

A couple new adds to the list - Neil Finn's second single from his 1998 debut album. This song was used in a couple different TV shows including Felicity and Sports Night. Quirky video. This was from a really solid album BTW.
For some reason Olivia Newton John's Landslide, the third single from Physical is not on Spotify anymore. Olivia's former husband Matt Lattanzi is in the video.
Gino Vanelli's Wild Horses, the first single from Big Dreamers Never Sleep also missing - at least in the original form. Hit #7 in Canada, #55 in the US. I know it's Gino Vanelli, but this song has something going for it. It's got a bit of a smoldering vibe, in follow up to Black Cars single a few years prior.
Finally from the Lost Boys soundtrack, Echo and the Bunnymen's People are Strange is MIA. Went to #29 in the UK.
Looking forward to the rankdown...

#50: "I Wanna Hear It From Your Lips" - Eric Carmen
A Top 10 on the AC chart & this song peaked at #35 on the Hot100 in 1985. A clear last place finish, as it is a whopping 38 points behind #49 (the largest gap between any two songs on this rankdown). At least it managed one top half ranking. Good news though, is that sometime in the past 2 months, Spotify has added this (self-titled) album to it's collection. Lannister & Power get an early PPPPP!

#49: "Well Well Well" - Duffy
Duffy was a rising star in 2008 selling 9 million copies of her debut album and being nominated for a BNA Grammy (losing to Adele). But her follow-up album (Endlessly) defines sophomore slump w/ sales less than 10% of the debut. Only one single & one music video were released from that album & it's the song that lands right here.

#48: "Welcome To Paradise" - Front 242
Congrats to Power on his PPPPP! I swear the powers-that-be at Spotify must be watching this thread, because they also recently added the fantastic Front By Front album to their offerings which includes this song & "Never Stop" along with "Headhunter" (which was previously available via a compilation album) - thank the gods! However, they still don't offer the Official Version, Tyranny (For You), Up Evil, & Off albums which means if you want to listen to the following F242 songs, you'll have to settle for live versions for now...here are the studio versions via YouTube:15 peacebone 24 Troy 28 aerodynamite 41 gonecountry 46 rowellfarm490 48 newpower 49 House Lannister 49 Doc Indie Party Rock

#47 "Hole In My Heart (All The Way To China)" - Cyndi Lauper
We have our first tie! Slipping down the hole, Cyndi loses the battle to another diva who actually had a Top 10 rank. From the 1988 movie Vibes, this single only climbed to #54 on the Hot100 but peaked at #8 in both Australia and New Zealand. It doesn't appear on the movie soundtrack, but it is on several of Cyndi's greatest hits collections...none that Spotify has available though. I get a PPPPP - yea me!

EXTRA: "Motortown" - Kane GangThis band only put out two albums. While Spotify has the deluxe edition of their debut, it doesn't have the 1987 follow-up Miracle which contains this #36 Hot100 hit along with the #1 dance hit Don't Look Any Further.

There's something wrong with Spotify. They don't have this 1991 Top10 UK hit in their offerings by this former Tackhead member.

Unlike Eve's Plumb there's no Brady Bunch connection with this band that i inevitably confuse with the former. Spotify doesn't have this 1989 single or anything else by them.
