So going through to the 1980s Record of The Decade Play-offs is:

 

1st ABBA - Thank You For The Music 35

 

 

This standard actually dates back to their 1977 Abba: The Album, but was finally released as a posthumous single in 1983 to celebrate a Hits compiliation & their "indefinite sabbatical".

Dio and Def Leppard in the top 10? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Have we got some mustery 'hair' rock voters on here or that other board?

 

And ABBA's most toe-curling song at number one?

 

Whilst absolute classics by This Mortal Coil, The Smiths, Culture Club and Echo and the Bunnymen languish about in the lower reaches... crikey, thisispop.....
