Die nummer 10 is niks om je voor te schamen ArthurDZ. Bij mij viel ie er net uit, laten we zeggen plekje 11 .

Mooie (diverse) top 10 wel, zeker uit persoonlijk oogpunt. Ik ben erg blij met Prince als winnaar en Dirty Diana in de lijst. Maar daartegenover staat een verkeerde Smiths (coma) en behoorlijke niet favoriete nummers (vriendelijk uitgedrukt) van Sinead en Guns N' Roses.

Al met al weer leuk, dank Rudi!

Sorry het zijn er maar 12, ik had het aantal uit het template laten staan maar de nummer 2 heeft 64 punten (aangepast).

Ondanks mijn grondige speurwerk zie ik wel eens een nummer over het hoofd. Dit keer Joe Smooth (al was het geen top-10 geweest).

Ach ik zie ze binnenkomen en zie er nog steeds over het hoofd.

1. U2 - With or Without You
2. Guns N' Roses - Sweet Child o' Mine
3. U2 - Where the Streets Have No Name
4. Guns N' Roses - Paradise City
5. Prince - Sign o' the Times
6. Guns N' Roses - Rocket Queen
7. Michael Jackson - Dirty Diana
8. Pink Floyd - On the Turning away
9. Fleetwood Mac - Seven Wonders
10. Sinead O' Connor - Troy

11. INXS - Never Tear Us Apart
12. Guns N' Roses - Welcome to the Jungle
13. U2 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Lookin' for
14. Heart - Alone
15. Suzanne Vega - Luka
16. R.E.M. - The One I Love
17. Guns N' Roses - Think About You
18. Sting - Fragile
19. New Order - True Faith
20. Whitesnake - Here I Go Again

1. Prince - The Cross
2. Pink Floyd - Sorrow
3. The Cure - Why Can't I Be You
4. The Smiths - Girlfriend In A Coma
5. Robbie Robertson - Somewhere Down The Crazy River
6. U2 - With Or Without You
7. R.E.M. - The One I Love
8. Sinead O'Connor - Troy
9. Depeche Mode - Never Let Me Down Again
10. Chris Isaak - Blue Hotel

Ach bij mij ook niet (had hem wel in het vizier). Wellicht in 1989 de cover van de Style Council, die vind ik leuker eigenlijk.

Mijn top 10 van 1987:

1. Marillion - White Russian
2. INXS - Need You Tonight
3. Fleetwood Mac - Big Love
4. David Sylvian - Orpheus
5. John Hiatt - Have a Little Faith in Me
6. U2 - With Or Without You
7. Midnight Oil - Beds Are Burning
8. Neil Young & Crazy Horse - When Your Lonely Heart Breaks
9. Def Leppard - Animal
10. Dead Can Dance - Anywhere Out of the World

Voor het eerst geen enkel nummer in de top 10 en slechts twee in de top 25. Eindlijst is niet echt mijn ding, maar het kan niet elk jaar feest zijn.

Single uit 1989 toch? Dan komt ie bij mij ook zeker langs.

Weet niet over welk nummer je het hier nu hebt, maar Promised Land is uit 1987 en I'll Be There uit 1988.

Joe Smooth Inc.* Featuring Anthony Thomas - The Promised Land at Discogs

Joe Smooth Featuring Mikkhiel* - I'll Be There at Discogs

Blijkbaar al in 1987 onder de naam Joe Smooth Inc.
