Welcome- no idea what is going to win but I suspect my votes will be heavily influenced by nostalgia!

God there were some terrible #1s in the 80s!
I think this will be a lot easier to cut down than the 90s one but those at the very top will be really difficult to separate |

First cull of anything I don't like plus stuff that's OK but not great puts my list at 60.

Voted.
I want to believe that my SOTY from 1982 year will get (at least some) points from other participants. This post has been edited by Last Dreamer: Nov 14 2021, 04:37 PM |

Yeh the later 80s no1s are a lot better but think the songs in the early 80s were better but maybe didn’t hit the top spot!
Thanks for running this Gezza!! |

I was thinking along those lines too... I love the music from the early 80s but it's so poorly represented by the #1s. There are definitely still some real high points though.

This is actually harder than my 90s list. I'm down to 32 but I absolutely love everything on my list.....

Some of these have dated badly (and some I haven't heard oops) but the great ones are really great, looking forward to compiling my list!

I'll try to give this a go but I'll definitely need to do some research first.

I've done mine- I surprised myself at my top 10 and my number 1, the lower reaches are full of nostalgia for me- I apologise for none of them!

I've cut out the ones I don't want to vote for and I've got 84 remaining. Turns out this may actually be harder than I thought

Right my votes are on their way... had to be really brutal with a lot of 10/10 moments not making it. Plus I decided to cut songs by artists that had already got a fair representation in my points.

Early 80s comes out stronger for me - I started going down the list, and by the time I got to Imagine already had 10 I wanted to vote for! Will need to do some culling but will try to keep some that may not get many other votes and others that might spring a few surprises!
