Now 6 kicks off with the 4th track by Queen to make the cut.
Not a massive fan of this, no Queen track has made my top 50 yet and this one won't be making it either, nor the top 100 for that matter.
It rocks well in parts but just falls short for me in the end, I've stuck it in at 104, slightly ahead of It's A Hard Life.
I like some Queen stuff a lot, but not really the ones that have been selected here thus far.

The 4th track from Nik Kershaw, and another one I just can't get behind, which is weird considering I've put his 2 big hits in my top 20 at the moment.
It's just not doing much for me, I want to like it but I'm struggling, I've got it at 110.
Not the best start to Now 6, but things should improve...

Third track from Eurythmics so far and definitely my favourite, falls just shy of the top 50 however, coming in at 57.

The first pure solo effort from Thin Lizzy's Gary Moore, I've got one of his other tunes fairly high up as is.
This one comes in in the 70's, lacking the same kick as earlier but a solid rock song from a musician I quite like.
En route home so won't have to be rushing this as much tomorrow!

Second track from Marillion to make it on here and I still find it just as strange this time.
Their last one, Kayleigh is actually growing on me now, this one is definitely weaker though unfortunately.
Just that bit slower and never takes off for me, only makes it in at 120, a strange choice.

50. Heaven 17 - Temptation (Now 1) _________________
Far from my favourite Elton John track, there's a lot of stuff in there I love but this one never hit the spot for me if I'm honest.
Just falls short for me, entering outside the top 100 around 115, just lacks that Elton pomp almost, that I've come to adore.
I'm sure he'll be back with hits I enjoy that bit more.

I love this one, made a bit of resurgence a few years ago from Stranger Things but this was high up on my list well before that.
Easily makes the list, cracking the top 10 at number 6, though I debated it going higher.
There's just something about it, that's always had me hooked in from the start, brilliant song by a brilliant musician
