:cry: 1980s Top 40 Rate - The Impossible Part 1 :cry:

 

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
