December 28, 2025Dec 28 Oop sorry for being last minute again - I'm popping out in just a moment and might miss the start of today's session again so better do this first xABC - Poison ArrowBow Wow Wow - Go Wild In The CountryJapan - GhostsPigbag - Papa's Got A Brand New PigbagVisage - The Damned Don't Cry2 discoveries (Japan once again and Visage). Not too much else of note this week really, next best discovery was the track played from the David Bowie EP and next best I already knew (albeit some of them not that well) were Monsoon, The Associates, Haircut One Hundred and Classix Nouveaux.

December 28, 2025Dec 28 That top 7 is fab, 'More Than This' is still quite good but its a bit basic :( ABC would have a better ballad of that style with 'All Of My Heart'.'My Camera Never Lies' almost made my top 5, definitely one of the best official #1's of 1982.

December 28, 2025Dec 28 Thought you would have chosen Bardo as well @Last Dreamer Anyway, my top 5:The Associates - Club CountrySimple Minds - Promised You A MiracleFun Boy Three - The Telephone Always RingsKim Wilde - View From A BridgeBardo - One Step FurtherAssociates and Fun Boy Three so quirky and unique. Simple Minds' best produced song here too with the riff in the chorus a bit like an EDM 'drop'. Bardo is a bit cheesy but just really good time pop and better than Bucks Fizz's winning entry the year before! The Kim Wilde track is really well produced too.Tiebreak choice: Associates - Party Fears Two Edited December 28, 2025Dec 28 by TheSnake

January 10Jan 10 ABC - The Look Of LoveAdam Ant - Goody Two ShoesDuran Duran - Hungry Like The WolfEcho & The Bunnymen - The Back Of LoveSiouxsie And The Banshees - Fire WorksJapan for the tiebreak.I shouldn't leave it so long to vote in these as I feel I've slightly forgotten some of the songs I playlisted already whoops but fairly sure I remember Echo and Siouxsie (and their respective Bunnymen and Banshees) being my top 2 discoveries of the week. Other good songs I already knew include David Bowie, Simple Minds, Yazoo, Patrice Rushen and Madness and other good discoveries include Depeche Mode, The Associates, Soft Cell, Toyah and Altered Images and probably others I'm forgetting to mention, was a good week. x(in fairness iirc I was multitasking for most of the last session so not paying as much attention as usual)
