I know, I know, why is there no link to Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love"?

There is, right HERE.

I'm not going to lie, I think there were some glaring omissions - Starship, "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" and Whitesnake "Here I Go Again" immediately come to mind - but who am I to complain. Till manana.
