My missus loves this stuff, but she really shouldn't be encouraged too much or every car journey we make ends up sounding like a parody of a John Hughes movie. I decided that, if there were more than three songs on it that I liked and we didn't have electronically, I would splash out the 10p they were asking.
Air Supply, Boston, Whitesnake made it three. This is the one that pushed it over the top:

I'm skipping Nazareth's version of Love Hurts though. I can accept the Everleys or the Big O, but it's Gram and Emmylou's song now, and I'm not having their version being tainted by that gravelly nonsense.
