August 1986 -- Movies, movies, movies

This chart started and ended at the movies -- "Man Sized Love" from "Running Scared" (as was "Sweet Freedom") to "Glory of Love" from "Karate Kid II.  Along the way, two songs from "Top Gun," one from "Legal Eagles," and one from "Short Circuit."

Along the way are a ton of songs you'd still hear on your favorite 80's station.

Last songs:  Wham, as a team; the Monkees (their one hit of the comeback).

First songs: Belinda Carlisle (without her usual team)

Other former band members include both Peters, Steve Winwood, Lionel Richie, Michael Mcdonald, Andy Taylor, Mike Rutherford and David Lee Roth.

Favorites:  Blow Monkeys, GTR, Madonna, Belinda, Moody Blues, and my fave, Opportunities.
