Surprisingly, no track has received over 100 points yet. Not long left on this, so keep the votes coming...

Awwwww, really disappointed by that result. Julian Cope would have been a less obvious winner.

I listened to that Julian Cope song purely based on the fact that it was your top mark song and I didn't like it as much as the songs I gave higher marks to.
Glad PSB won. The Top 40 is looking pretty great so far. |

PSB's were worthy winners. The chart is starting to look like Brandon Flowers dream Top 40! (Massive PSB/Smiths fan, amongst many 80's acts)
Julian Cope's best stuff was in Teardrop Explodes - now I'd love Reward to win, classic! |

Nah, I think Julian Cope was robbed here. Love Comes Quickly is one of the Pet Shop Boys' weakest songs and one I usually skip on their discography album.
Might be an idea to limit it to one record per act when we finish up, have a separate vote to choose the single, favourite track where one act has multiple entries and then open up the duplicates for a second vote? It's a good example of PR (nearly everyone had the Smiths or PSB in their lists somewhere) but it's going to make the eventual 40 a bit predictable. |

Love Comes Quickly is dull as ditchwater and a poor representation of PSB |
