i need at least a 50+ rate for this one! It's going to be hard to predict with votes split all over the place and no clear leader I expect.
Quite rightly so! Best of all no Smiths, Bush, New Order, Cure to hog all the spots! Just to say no points for Left To My Own Devices OMG!!! I will remedy this soon as I vote |

Extremely hard to rate songs which are so different against each other and then relative to how you'd rated those before on the list etc. Anyway, here's 40 from me which are based pretty much on how I'm feeling right now - could be a very different list on any other day.
40 - Erasure - A Little Respect 39 - New Order - True Faith 38 - Eurythmics - Sexcrime (Nineteen Eighty Four) 37 - Inner City - Good Life 36 - Soft Cell - Bedsitter 35 - Madness - It Must Be Love 34 - Toy Dolls - Nellie The Elephant 33 - Madness - Driving In My Car 32 - Limahl - Never Ending Story 31 - Stan Ridgway - Camouflage 30 - Harry Enfield - Loadsamoney (Doin' Up The House) 29 - David Essex - Silver Dream Machine 28 - The Beat - Mirror In The Bathroom 27 - Hazell Dean - Who's Leaving Who 26 - Fun Boy Three & Bananarama - It Ain't What You Do It's The Way That You Do It 25 - The Specials - Do Nothing / Maggie's Farm 24 - Pet Shop Boys - Left To My Own Devices 23 - Elvis Costello - I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down 22 - Peter Gabriel - Games Without Frontiers 21 - Odyssey - Going Back To My Roots 20 - Squeeze - Labelled With Love 19 - Man 2 Man Meets Man Parrish - Male Stripper 18 - UB40 - King/Food For Thought 17 - Boystown Gang - Can't Take My Eyes Off You 16 - Prince - When Doves Cry 15 - Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer 14 - Mike Oldfield Feat Maggie Reilly - Moonlight Shadow 13 - Tears For Fears - Shout 12 - London Boys - Requiem 11 - Madness - Grey Day 10 - Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Maid Of Orleans (The Waltz Joan Of Arc) 09 - Fleetwood Mac - Everywhere 08 - The Communards - Never Can Say Goodbye 07 - Erasure - Drama! 06 - Cutting Crew - (I Just) Died In Your Arms 05 - Marvin Gaye - (Sexual) Healing 04 - Keith Harris & Orville - Orville's Song 03 - Modern Romance - Best Years Of Our Lives 02 - Paul Simon - You Can Call Me Al 01 - Belinda Carlisle - Leave A Light On |

Sulking. +40 Pet Shop Boys - Left To My Own Devices +39 Cars - Drive +38 ABC - The Look Of Love +37 New Order - True Faith +36 Prince - When Doves Cry +35 Derek & The Dominoes - Layla +34 Genesis - Mama +33 Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer +32 Sister Sledge - Lost In Music (Remix) +31 Electric Light Orchestra - Hold On Tight +30 T'Pau - Heart And Soul +29 Mike Oldfield Feat Maggie Reilly - Moonlight Shadow +28 Elton John - I'm Still Standing +27 Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Maid Of Orleans (The Waltz Joan Of Arc) +26 Madness - Embarrassment +25 Madness - It Must Be Love +24 Tracey Ullman - Breakaway +23 Cliff Richard - Wired For Sound +22 Wham! - Club Tropicana +21 Alvin Stardust - Pretend +20 Eurythmics - Sexcrime (Nineteen Eighty Four) +19 Rockers Revenge Feat Donnie Calvin - Walking On Sunshine +18 Culture Club - It's A Miracle +17 Madonna - Open Your Heart +16 Sam Brown - Stop +15 Style Council - Speak Like A Child +14 Fleetwood Mac - Everywhere +13 Tears For Fears - Shout +12 Beatles - Love Me Do +11 Belinda Carlisle - Circle In The Sand +10 Beat - Mirror In The Bathroom +9 U2 - Where The Streets Have No Name +8 Alexander O'Neal - Criticize +7 Erasure - A Little Respect +6 UB40 - King/Food For Thought +5 Labi Siffre - (Something Inside) So Strong +4 Dollar - Mirror Mirror (Mon Amour) +3 Marvin Gaye - (Sexual) Healing +2 Odyssey - Going Back To My Roots +1 Nat 'King' Cole - When I Fall In Love My beloved Beatles get only 12 points, this is so strong... Pretty much these 40 records would be at number one or two in my personal charts at the time or since.. |

I would urge people to not vote tactically to the detriment of True Faith!
A vote for True Faith is a vote for democracy! |

looks like Prince, erasure, new order or the cars at the mo in contention. Vote PSB's then vote the others.
I have hopes New Order will win the 90's version (if that one is done) when it got remixed slightly, if not this one. I would be very happy with Prince, New Order or the Cars as winner though... (if I'm not Left To My Own Devices, of course) |

Ah, True Faith '87 should win if it's going to. The 1994 version seemed a little unnecessary.
By the way, why wasn't Blue Monday listed for the number 9 vote? |

From memory it peaked at 3 or something later in the decade as remix - though I think it all contributed to main sales?

That's two separate releases I would say, and that's how polyhex.com has it listed. The 1988 remix by Quincy Jones was very different - a good bit faster, poppier and shorter. But it does stop us voting Blue Monday in twice! Mind you, I don't think the 88 version would be my favourite 80s no.3 ever anyway. |
