May 3May 3 Heaven 17 - TemptationEurythmics - Love Is A StrangerForrest - Feel The Need In MeThe Human League - (Keep Feeling) FascinationBlancmange - Blind VisionD Train - Music (Part 1)Big Country - In A Big CountryTears For Fears - Pale ShelterYazoo - Nobody's DiaryTemptation is very good and iconic and builds up a lot, Blancmange - Blind Vision likewise. Its a pity Heaven 17's follow-ups were nowhere near as good as 'Temptation'. 'Love is a Stranger' is great dark synthpop. I think Forrest's cover of 'Feel The Need' sounds like a late 80s dance track. One of Human Leagues best too top 5 and then just missing out good synth dance/proto-house from D Train. Another goodie from Big Country too. Yazoo song is nice too.Still not as good a selection of music as 1982 in my opinion. Edited May 4May 4 by TheSnake

May 3May 3 Delighted to see Kissing The Pink in third place. The Last Film is a great, undeservedly overlooked, song.

May 4May 4 Big Country - In A Big CountryThe Police - Every Breath You TakeSpandau Ballet - TrueTears For Fears - Pale ShelterThin Lizzy - Thunder And Lightning3 songs I already knew well, 1 I have heard before but still not super familiar with it (Tears For Fears) and 1 new discovery (Thin Lizzy). Next best ones I knew already are Heaven 17, Eurythmics and Yazoo and next best discoveries were Rush ('Countdown'), The Creatures, Bauhaus and Flash And The Pan.'In A Big Country' is my fave this week so I hope it's not just me voting for it!
May 4May 4 I preferred 400 Miles (Fields of Fire). Forgot about Eurythmics fab Love Is A Stranger so have to change my votes.

May 6May 6 For Sunday's session, it would be great to see a tribute to the wonderful David Attenborough. He is a great classical music buff. He used to be a regular guest on Face The Music, a classical music quiz which I used to watch with my parents in the 1970s. BBC4 are currently showing repeats.When he was last on Desert Island Discs, his top choice was the 3rd of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Goldberg Variations, so that might be a good piece to play.
