September 28Sep 28 King - Love and PrideDead Or Alive - You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)Kirsty MacColl - A New EnglandBryan Adams - Run To YouDon Henley - The Boys Of SummerThe Smiths - How Soon Is NowThe Art of Noise - Close (To The Edit)King - Love and Pride in production sounds more 1981-2 - like the first Spandau single To Cut A Long Story Short or Classix Nouveaux - Is It A Dream. I really like it, and its a shame it was held off #1. 'You Spin Me Round' has so much energy - a much needed dance hit. The Kirsty song is so nostalgic and lovely. Run To You is a great rock anthem and I also really like the Rage dance cover from 1992. 'The Boys of Summer' is such a mood song for the summer, along with the DJ Sammy cover from 2003!

October 4Oct 4 Aww we missed Brer Rabbit's votes 😞Yay for King and Kirsty and Bryan though but they should have been a bit higher on the votes!I do like The Smiths How Soon Is Now and it sounds influential for Talk Talk - Life's What You Make It which will be coming quite soon.
