All of these and big shout out to a fellow fan of REO Speedwagon's big ballads. I assume we're both talking about "Keep on Loving You"?
And I'm glad you mentioned Bros. I really rate their first album Push. Got some fantastic pop tunes on it: I Owe You Nothing, Drop The Boy, When Will I Be...
Okay - a few more:
Dina Carroll (one hit wonder had a 90s hit with Don't Be A Stranger)
Laura Branigan (esp. her hit Gloria)
East 17 (House of Love is a big fave)
Moby - but not the thrash metal album he did that I bought, hated and feel that he owes me the money I paid for it
Cicero - another...
Tell you what, Rose Garden is one of my all-time faves and in my top 4* opening lines to a song. "I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden". That is genius.
The other 3:
"Never thought it would happen with me and a girl from Clapham"
"Son I'm 30, I only went with your mother...

How are any of those "uncool"? You've even got the Beach Boys and Kate Bush who are eternally coool. Bloody love all of them. That Belouis Some video especially....
