FIVE STAR UK SINGLES RATE 1983-1991 TOUCH HAS LANDED No 1 REVEALED.

[WhatKindOfKylie?]

Their decline in the charts was pretty rapid, I hadn't realised they never troubled the Top 10 again after The Slightest Touch.

Whenever You're Ready is so underrated in my opinion.

Another just missed the top 10 outrage that song!

I'm putting my playlist together for this rate just now and there are so many bops!

I wish Hard Race had been a single, that would have been an easy 10.

Not one very familiar with must admit.

I love Whenever You're Ready. It may be a contender for 11.

Good choice if so.

Hard Race should have been a single. And they should have waited until the 1988 Olympics to release it. Perfect Olympic anthem.

Should check it out then, sounds good.

It would have been a great Olympics song, though I fear it may be a tad too soft rock for @WhatKindOfKylie? !

Oh dear. That intro... You may be right I think.

I'm biased - I love Between the Lines even with its leanings towards soft rock, MOR, adult contemporary and the album cover which looks like it was filmed at the Five Star Manor.

Please also remember with my rates as well as any scores between 1 and 10 with decimal pointage if you wish, you also have 1 track for an 11 and your best track can get a 12.

Has there ever been a bigger stylistic lurch from this

to this?

(or the Taylor Dayne years as I call them)

 

[simes1970]

I much prefer the second look, but that might just be me

Me too, the Between The Lines cover is so C&A catalogue! It ages them terribly.

 

[Hairycub1969]

"Another Weekend" and "Rock my world" are ace and sound more like MJ than the man himself

"Just leave it alone, leave it alone. I keep singing the same old song. Another weekend. Another night's fun begins" - I was living this dream back in the 90's!

Between The Lines is so "backstage on 1987 BBC TV daytime television". Eamonn Holmes just out of shot.

Love it! This post I mean.

 

[Hairycub1969]

In late Summer 1987 (I think) Five Star did an "exclusive" interview with Mike Read on Radio One - talking about their new album "Read between the lines" and I remember thinking how cringeworthy Mike was as he was talking to(at) them asking questions!

Edit: found it!
