1980s Top 40 Rate - The Impossible Part 1

Numbers 31, 32 and 40s

Well, let's get Part 1 of this out of the way. The voting will be different for these parts due to the obscurity of most of the tracks below. Again, you have a choice. If you're brave, you can vote for ten tracks like this:

+10
=9
+8
+7
+6
+5
+4
+3
+2
+1

More reasonably, if you know much less than ten songs, you can do four:

+10
+7
+4
+1

And alternatively, if you can only pick three:

+10
+5
+1
