May 28, 20223 yr Author NO 71- 46 POINTS Crazy For You Madonna (Voter: AaronTM- 27 pts, Bjork- 19 pts) (#2 for 1 week in June 1985 behind “Frankie” by Sister Sledge) Well it had to happen- Madonna loses the first of her 4 entries just shy of the top 70. Jt5zAEwxP5g
May 28, 20223 yr French Kiss is one of the best dance singles of the 80s. Snubbed here by the dance mod. :huh: :D The woman 'screaming' part is iconic. I'd love to listen to it in a club tonight. :drama: Crazy For You is so annoying and cheesy imo. Edited May 28, 20223 yr by Jason
May 28, 20223 yr I didn't have room for Crazy For You in my votes, but I'm surprised only two people did.
May 28, 20223 yr Wasn’t expecting Crazy For You to exit first for Madonna, it’s definitely better than Holiday for me
May 28, 20223 yr My favourites over the last few pages - King Love and Pride - great upbeat dancey new wave tune one of the last hits of the new wave genre, Mirror Man by Human League - great electronic update of the 60s Northern soul sound and When A Man Loves A Woman by Percy Sledge - an epic and emotive track, the backing music reminds me a lot of Procol Harum - Whiter Shade of Pale, both seem to have a classical music influenced organ sound and both have a very soulful vocal! Edited May 28, 20223 yr by The Sake
May 28, 20223 yr Winters Tale is my favourite of the last few to go out and Crazy For You ain't too bad either. Not really a fan of any of the others.
May 28, 20223 yr 'My Oh My' :wub: Slade did so many better songs over the Christmas one for me, 'Far Far Away' is another goodie of theirs which I think was #2 peaker in the 70's. Love 'Crazy For You' as well <3 Edited May 28, 20223 yr by Robasenda
May 29, 20223 yr Author NO 70- 50 POINTS Ain't No Pleasing You Chas N Dave (Voters: Fiesta- 25 pts, Gezza- 25pts) (#2 for 1 week in Apri 1982 behind “My Camera Never Lies” By Bucks Fizz) Fiesta and I once again recognising the true greatness of some tracks! Hkt8E2Ul-Xw

May 29, 20223 yr Author NO 68- 51 POINTS Happy Birthday Altered Images (Voters: Fiesta- 13 pts, Chez Wombat- 7 pts, Mack- 27 pts, JimWatts- 4 pts) (#2 for 3 weeks in October/November 1981 behind “It’s My Party” by Dave Stewart and Barbara Gaskin, and “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic” by The Police) Our preferred “Happy Birthday” on this rate lFmNVUyADoQ
May 29, 20223 yr Like all 3 that dropped today. That's definitely the most interesting Happy Birthday track I know and I Can't Wait is very funky.
May 29, 20223 yr oh poor Crazy for You, was a big fan of the song, even bought the Vision Quest vinyl just to have Crazy for You!!! the rest, don't really like anything at all from the last few days
May 29, 20223 yr I like all three of today's. I've noticed Ain't No Pleasing You being played in the Queen Vic in Eastenders a few times recently.
May 29, 20223 yr See Those Eyes is easily my favourite of Altered Images' hits, Happy Birthday and I Could Be Happy are quite good I suppose but they are a bit over jolly for my tastes! Crazy For You is a good emotive ballad, if a bit cheesy. I like the clarinet? in it. It's more 1988 sounding (when cheesy love song ballads were everywhere) than 1985 I think! I can't Wait is a good R&B tune, paving the way for the 90s dominance of the genre. Edited May 29, 20223 yr by The Sake
May 30, 20223 yr I can't Wait is a good R&B tune, paving the way for the 90s dominance of the genre. How funny, it's a dance track imo. :P Surprisingly my top 2 dance faves of the 80s are still to come. :w00t:
