My votes ('Ace Of Spades' and 'Stereotype' would be next in line):

Stevie Wonder - Master Blaster (Jammin')

Motörhead - Ace Of Spades

Heavy on the classics this week, no room sadly for Madness, Bob Marley, David Bowie, Stevie Wonder, Kate Bush & AC/DC (and a good double a-side discovery from the Specials), I can't not vote for The Sweet People as I am blessed to have another birdsong-heavy song in my life x

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Enola Gay

Kate Bush - Army Dreamers

Stevie Wonder - Master Blaster (Jammin')

David Bowie - Fashion

Motörhead - Ace Of Spades

My top 5 favourites today:

Adam And The Ants - Dog Eat Dog

David Bowie - Fashion

Motörhead - Ace Of Spades

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Enola Gay

The Specials - Stereotype/International Jet Set

The first four are long term big favourites but those Specials songs were really good discoveries. As was The Sweet People, which just missed out...
