November 9Nov 9 Godley And Creme - Under Your ThumbThe Police - Invisible SunAltered Images - Happy BirthdayNew Order - Everything's Gone GreenLaurie Anderson - O SupermanI have decided that something like the Birdie Song can't be ranked alongside these other mere songs, it wouldn't be fair on them xShoutout to Portsmouth Sinfonia which might just be the worst sounding song I've heard (but fascinatingly so).

November 11Nov 11 Japan - Quiet Life - great electronic disco style song - its actually from 1979 - influential with inspiring other tracks like Duran's Planet Earth.Rush - Tom Sawyer - this is an epicGodley and Creme - Under Your Thumb - a bit of an epic tooHuman League - Open Your Heart - again has that epic feel in the versesToyah - Thunder In The Mountains - I like its Kate Bush meets Ultravox vibesThe Slade song is a good rock song melodically but the title and lyrics have aged SO badly!
November 11Nov 11 Author For the sake of completeness, I've now listened through the 15 minute youtube of Tight Fit - Back To The 60s - Part 2 and can confirm it is a different medley of songs to the similar length 'Part 1' which was played in Week 12, and of which the shorter "Part 2" played last Sunday appears to have been taken.On a separate note, due to absences and with BJSC final results also taking place this Sunday, I suggest we have a break and come back at 16:00 on Sunday 23 November for the final session of 1981!
November 14Nov 14 Top 5:New Order - ProcessionNew Order - Everything's Gone GreenThe Four Tops - When She Was My GirlExploited - Dead CitiesElectric Light Orchestra - TwilightAs much as I like to pick a worst record I can't this time because all the candidates are supposed to be rubbish so I like to give some leniency.

Saturday at 16:152 days Author We have a tie at the top of this week's poll - will the remaining voters be able to split it before tomorrow's session?
Sunday at 04:102 days Almost forgot to vote in the last poll whoops!The Creatures - Mad Eyed ScreamerJapan - Quiet LifeLaurie Anderson - O SupermanNew Order - ProcessionToyah - Thunder In The MountainsAlmost all discoveries getting my votes here, only Laurie Anderson that I knew already. Next best ones I already knew are Dave Stewart/Barbara Gaskin, Olivia Newton-John and Altered Images, other good discoveries were Haircut 100, Rush, the other New Order song and... I have already forgotten if I said I already knew Godley & Creme or not but that was also good.(also Birdie Song obviously the best but I have to exclude it to give other songs a chance etc.)
