Nick Hornby and Fictitious Records bring you another fine selection of music, from the last 20 years produced by musicians who had groupies and casual sex on tap.

Idea for those post break-up winter evenings when all you want to do is get drunk, reminisce over the good times, wallow in melancholy or slash your wrists.

The 80s Ballads Section
1. Phil Collins - Against All the Odds
2. Rod Stewart - Have I Told You Lately (better / different from Van's version...)
3. Queen - One Year Of Love (obscure but good)
4. Glenn Mediros - Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You (file under 'Where are they now'?)

The Power Ballads / Big Hair Bit
5. Heart - I Drove All Night
6. Aerosmith - I Don't Want To Miss A Thing
7. Chicago - If You Leave Me Now
8. Foreigner - I Want To Know What Love Is
9. Cheap Trick - Flame
10. REO Speedwagon - Can't Fight This Feeling

Songs with brackets () in the title
12. Bryan Adams - (Everything I Do) I Do It for You
13. Cutting Crew - (I Just) Died in Your Arms Tonight

MOR Heaven
14. Elton John - Your Song (despite Moulin Rouge this is still a gr8 record)
15. Rev Sinéad O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U (her tears in that video were real)
16. The Pretenders - I'll Stand By You
