Bob,
Ghm.. Interesting!
Different people - different tastes.

I am not that much into "top lists" pop music myself, but
somehow I like to listen to Smokie occasionally.
Maybe it's just a bit nostalgic to the music I was exposed to (by my older brother) as a child.

I actually popped one of the CDs into the player this morning.
I recalled that the albums are rather monotone. But "20 Golden hits"
is a good set. :-)

If somebody is curious, - here are some of those on last.fm:

Best,
Igor

But here is the 1995 version with Roy "Chubby" Brown:

It's rather interesting that almost none (if at all) of the Brits who
I've
asked know the British band Smokie despite world-wide (or at least
Europe-wide) popularity:

I remember them as a band best forgotten.
