May 31, 200916 yr 1 (1) Paul Hardcastle - 19 ................................................ good song, still play it from time to time 2 (2) Duran Duran - A View To A Kill ................................. liked this at the time but I don't care much for the production these days 3 (3) Jimmy Nail - Love Don't Live Here Anymore 4 (7) Marillion - Kayleigh .................................................. good song 5 (6) DeBarge - Rhythm Of The Night ................................ loved the song back then, still sounds OK 6 (4) Phyllis Nelson - Move Closer ..................................... the song that used to be played at 2am in the clubs back then! I used to love this song 7 (5) Bronski Beat & Marc Almond - I Feel Love (Medley) 8 (18) Gary Moore & Phil Lynott - Out In The Fields ............. great rock song 9 (20) Katrina & The Waves - Walking On Sunshine ............ loved it back then, bored of it now 10 (11) Bryan Ferry - Slave To Love ................................. OK song 11 (8) Steve Arrington - Feel So Real ................................ like DeBarge I loved this song back then, less so now 12 (28) Animotion - Obsession .......................................... and I loved this too, still OK 13 (17) Go West - Call Me 14 (10) Manchester Utd - We All Follow Man Utd 15 (29) Scritti Politti - The Word Girl .................................. OK song 16 (9) Style Council - Walls Come Tumbling Down .............. unfortunate song to be in the charts at the time of Heysel and radio dropped the song immediately afterwards but this was one of the Style Council's best 17 (16) Loose Ends - Magic Touch 18 (12) Freddie Mercury - I Was Born To Love You 19 (37) Billy Ocean - Suddenly 20 (35) Steven 'Tin Tin' Duffy - Icing On The Cake ............. OK song 21 (21) Depeche Mode - Shake The Disease ...................... good song 22 (24) Power Station - Get It On 23 (13) Simple Minds - Don't You Forget About Me .............. loved the song back then. A bit blunted towards it now by years of overplay 24 (36) Skipworth & Turner - Thinking About Your Love ...... another catchy, summery and fairly lightweight club song that I liked back then 25 (15) Tears For Fears - Everybody Wants To Rule The World ...... excellent song, deserved to be a number one but kept at #2 in both the UK and US by We Are The World 26 (19) Kim Wilde - Rage To Love ..................................... good rockabilly type song from Kim 27 (40) Gary Numan - The Live EP 28 (38) O.M.D - So In Love 29 (23) Godley & Creme - Cry 30 (31) Five Star - All Fall Down 31 (27) Untouchables - Free Yourself ................................. good ska-influenced song that wouldn't have sounded out of place in the 2 Tone era 32 (**) Mai Tai - History 33 (14) Everton 1985 - Here We Go 34 (22) Curtis Hairston - I Want Your Lovin' (Just A Little Bit) 35 (30) Divine - Walk Like A Man 36 (**) Propaganda - Duel ............................................... possibly my favourite song of 1985. Quite how this only managed #21 (for 3 weeks) is a mystery. 37 (**) Kool & The Gang - Cherish .................................... I bought this back then! A bit soppy sounding these days... 38 (**) Bryan Adams - Heaven 39 (**) Philip Bailey - Walking On The Chinese Wall ........... I loved this song, a semi-forgotten little gem of a song 40 (26) U2 - The Unforgettable Fire ................................... one of my favourite U2 singles and a very belated follow up to Pride which had been released 7 months earlier. The reason for the delay was the possible cancellation of "A Sort Of Homecoming" as a single in the February, for reasons unknown to me. That song then appeared as the B side of The Unforgettable Fire
